A: No, this calculates gross weekly salary before any deductions. Net pay will be lower after taxes and other deductions.

A: This calculation provides an average. Some months will have 5 weekly pay periods, others 4, but annually it balances out.

Q5: Can I use this for part-time salary conversion?
A: Yes, as long as you enter your actual monthly earnings, the conversion will be accurate regardless of employment type.
