Frequently asked questions
How is the monthly amount derived?
The entered amount is first converted to annual gross pay using your hours per week and weeks per year, then divided by twelve, so a month here is one twelfth of a year rather than a fixed number of weeks.
Are taxes or overtime included?
No. The figures are gross equivalents; taxes, social insurance, overtime premiums, leave and unpaid time are excluded.
