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.
