Questions people ask

How many hours are in a working year?

This calculator uses 52 weeks, so 40 hours a week is 2,080 hours and 37.5 hours is 1,950. Holidays are paid, so they don’t change the yearly figure.

Why is a month not four weeks?

A year has 52 weeks but 12 months, so a month averages 4.33 weeks. Monthly pay is the yearly amount divided by 12.

What is included in take-home?

Income tax and the main payroll contribution in each country, with default settings: single, no pension, no student loan. Each country’s take-home pay calculator adds those options.
