5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does this include vacation pay?
A: This calculation doesn't account for paid vacation time. If you receive paid vacation, your actual annual earnings would be higher.

Q2: What about overtime pay?
A: This calculation assumes regular hours only. If you regularly work overtime, you would need to add that separately.

Q3: Is this before or after taxes?
A: This shows gross (pre-tax) annual salary. Your take-home pay will be less after deductions.

Q4: How accurate is this for part-time work?
A: The calculation works for any consistent weekly hours, but remember part-time workers may have more variable schedules.

Q5: Does this account for statutory holidays?
A: The calculation assumes you're paid for all 52 weeks. If you don't get paid for holidays, adjust your weeks worked accordingly.
