A LITTLE CONTEXT GOES A LONG WAY
Choose the period your pay refers to and enter the gross amount before deductions. Set hours and working days per week, then paid weeks per year. Include paid leave in paid weeks and reduce the figure for unpaid time. A daily equivalent uses your stated working days; it does not assume everyone works an eight-hour day.
Hourly pay × weekly hours × paid weeks gives the annual equivalent. At 25 per hour, 40 hours per week and 52 paid weeks, that is 52,000 a year. The monthly average is 52,000 ÷ 12 = 4,333.33. With 48 paid weeks, the same hourly rate gives 48,000 a year.
Monthly results are annual averages, not forecasts of a specific payroll month. Every-two-week results refer to two paid working weeks and are different from twice-monthly pay. Taxes, benefit deductions, overtime premiums, bonuses and employer costs are excluded. A freelancer’s sustainable selling rate also needs to cover expenses and non-billable time.

GOOD TO KNOW
No. Every result is gross pay before income taxes, social contributions, pension contributions and other deductions. No tax jurisdiction is inferred from the currency.
No. The monthly average divides annual pay by 12. A four-week amount covers exactly four paid weeks, which is a different period.
If the annual salary stays fixed, dividing it across fewer entered paid hours increases the equivalent hourly amount. Check that the schedule reflects the salary you are comparing.
