How it works
The "unadjusted" column simply annualizes the number you entered, assuming every week is worked and paid the same. The "adjusted" column matters for hourly or daily pay: it reduces the annual total by the unpaid holiday and vacation days you specify, since those days are not worked or paid at an hourly or daily rate.
Salaried pay (weekly, monthly or annual) is usually unaffected by holidays — the same paycheck arrives whether or not a public holiday falls in that period — so the adjusted and unadjusted columns match for those bases.
Formulas used
Annualizing an hourly rate
Annual = Hourly rate × Hours per week × 52

Assumptions and limits
- A year has exactly 52 weeks.

Frequently asked questions
Why do the adjusted and unadjusted figures match for a monthly salary?
Because a fixed weekly, monthly or annual salary is normally paid the same every period regardless of holidays — only hourly and daily pay actually loses money on unworked days.
Does this include taxes?
No — every figure here is gross pay, before any tax or deduction.
How many working days does this assume per year?
Days per week times 52, before subtracting the holiday and vacation days you enter — for a standard 5-day week that is 260 days before any time off.
Can I use this for part-time pay?
Yes — set the hours or days per week to your actual part-time schedule and every conversion adjusts accordingly.
