When to use?

Use it to see the real hourly wage behind a monthly salary, or to compare offers with different working conditions.

How to use

  • Enter the monthly salary.
  • Enter the monthly workdays and daily work hours.

Calculation Basis

Monthly hours = workdays × daily hours. Hourly wage = monthly salary ÷ monthly hours.

Usage Examples

Cautions

  • Rules for weekly holiday and overtime allowances vary by labor law and contract.

Guides

Weekly holiday allowance under Korean labor law

An employee who works 15 or more contracted hours a week with perfect attendance is entitled to one extra day of paid weekly-holiday allowance. The calculator reflects this via the standard 209-hour monthly model.

Overtime and night-shift premiums

Workplaces with five or more regular employees must pay a 50% premium on top of ordinary wages for overtime and night work. Turn on the premium option and cross-check against your own workplace rules.

FAQ

Is the weekly holiday allowance included?

No. It is a simple conversion based on the workdays and hours you enter.

How is the hourly wage calculated?

Divide the monthly salary by total monthly hours (workdays × daily hours).

Is it pre-tax or post-tax?

It converts the salary you enter as-is. For a post-tax hourly wage, enter your net pay.

Can I use an annual salary?

Divide the annual salary by 12 to get a monthly salary, then enter that.
