| From: | To: |
Daily pay calculation converts monthly salary into daily earnings based on the number of working days in a month. This is commonly used for pro-rata salary calculations, part-time work, or temporary employment arrangements.
The calculator uses the daily pay formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula divides the total monthly salary by the number of working days to determine the daily rate. The standard 22 working days assumes a typical 5-day workweek excluding weekends.
Details: Calculating daily pay is essential for accurate payroll processing, determining overtime rates, calculating leave encashment, and managing part-time or temporary employment contracts.
Tips: Enter monthly salary in your local currency and specify the number of working days in the month. The default value of 22 days represents a standard work month excluding weekends.
Q1: Why use 22 as the default working days?
A: 22 days is commonly used as it represents approximately 4.4 weeks of 5 working days each, accounting for typical monthly variations.
Q2: Should I include holidays in working days?
A: No, working days typically exclude public holidays and weekends. Only count actual days worked or expected to be worked.
Q3: Can this be used for hourly rate conversion?
A: For hourly rates, divide the daily pay by the number of working hours per day (usually 8 hours).
Q4: Is this calculation applicable for all employment types?
A: This method works best for salaried employees. For hourly workers or those with variable schedules, different calculations may be needed.
Q5: How does this differ from annual salary conversion?
A: For annual to daily conversion, first divide annual salary by 12 to get monthly, then apply this formula, or divide annual salary by 260 (52 weeks × 5 days).
