Time-off adjustment

Account for the weeks actually worked

How to read this estimate

The 52-week estimate is a consistent benchmark. If some weeks are unpaid, a second schedule gives a more realistic gross-pay planning figure.

Because each unpaid week carries more gross income at this rate, annual planning should reflect the weeks actually expected to be worked.

The six-week adjustment creates a deliberately conservative scenario for work that is not paid year-round. At a higher hourly figure, each excluded week has a larger dollar effect, but the formula itself is unchanged. Confirm whether time away is unpaid before reducing the weeks input, since paid leave should not be removed automatically.

Gross pay, not take-home pay

Every amount on this page is gross income before federal, state, or local taxes, insurance, retirement contributions, and other payroll deductions. Use the figures to compare schedules and offers, not as a prediction of a specific paycheck or take-home amount.
