5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Does this include vacation pay?
A: This calculation doesn't account for vacation pay separately as it's typically included in Ontario's minimum wage. For precise calculations, consult your employment agreement.

Q2: What about overtime pay?
A: This calculator assumes regular hours only. For overtime calculations, you would need to account for those hours separately at the appropriate overtime rate.

Q3: Is this before or after taxes?
A: This shows gross annual salary before deductions like taxes, CPP, EI, and other withholdings.

Q4: What if I don't work 52 weeks per year?
A: Adjust the calculation by multiplying by your actual number of working weeks rather than 52.

Q5: How accurate is this for contract workers?
A: For contract workers with variable hours, this provides an estimate. Track actual hours over several weeks for a more accurate projection.
