Frequently Asked Questions

Why does the hourly rate change with weeks worked?

Because the same salary is spread over fewer weeks if you work less than a full year — more hours per week or more paid weeks lower the effective hourly rate.

Should I count unpaid overtime?

Yes. If you regularly work unpaid extra hours they effectively lower your real hourly rate — increase the hours per week to see it.

Is this gross or net?

Gross. Take-home pay is lower after tax and deductions.
