1. What is Annual Salary Calculation?

The Annual Salary Calculation estimates yearly earnings based on hourly wage and weekly working hours. It's particularly useful for comparing job offers or converting between hourly and salary pay structures.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the following equation:

Where:

• \( Hourly\ Wage \) — Pay rate in Canadian dollars per hour
• \( Hours\ per\ Week \) — Number of hours worked each week
• \( 52 \) — Number of weeks in a year

Explanation: The equation multiplies your hourly wage by your weekly hours, then multiplies by 52 weeks to get annual earnings before taxes and deductions.

3. Importance of Annual Salary Calculation

Details: Understanding your annual salary helps with financial planning, comparing job offers, applying for loans, and understanding your full compensation package.

4. Using the Calculator
