Formula & Theory — Salary Calculator
The Salary Calculator first converts your input to an annual gross salary:
Annual (direct input)
Monthly → Annual: Annual = Monthly × 12
Weekly → Annual: Annual = Weekly × Working Weeks per Year
Daily → Annual: Annual = Daily × Working Days per Year
Hourly → Annual: Annual = Hourly × Working Days per Year × Hours per Day
Where:
Working Days per Year = Days per Week × 52 − Vacation Days
Working Weeks per Year = Working Days per Year ÷ Days per Week
Working Hours per Year = Working Days per Year × Hours per Day
Then net salary is calculated:
Tax Amount = Annual Gross × (Tax Rate / 100)
Social Insurance = Monthly Social Insurance × 12
Other Deductions = Monthly Other Deductions × 12
Annual Net = Annual Gross − Tax Amount − Social Insurance − Other Deductions
All shorter-period figures are derived by dividing Annual Gross or Annual Net by the corresponding time units.
| Symbol | Meaning |

| Gross Salary | Total pay before any deductions |
| Net Salary | Take-home pay after all deductions |

Assumption
The Salary Calculator uses your specified days per week, hours per day, and vacation days to derive all period conversions. Changing any of these parameters immediately updates every output figure.
