The calculator uses the standard salary conversion formula:

Where:

• Hourly Rate — Pay per hour in Canadian dollars
• Hours per Week — Typical weekly working hours
• 52 — Number of weeks in a year

Explanation: This calculation assumes consistent weekly hours throughout the year without accounting for overtime, bonuses, or unpaid time off.

3. Importance of Salary Calculation
