Underlying formulas
Let H = hours/day, D = days/week, W = weekly rate.
$$\text{Hourly}\;(\$)=\frac{\text{Weekly}}{H \times D}$$ $$\text{Daily}=rac{\text{Weekly}}{D}$$ $$\text{Weekly}= \begin{cases} \text{Hourly}\times H\times D\\ \text{Daily}\times D \end{cases}$$ $$\text{Bi-Weekly}= \text{Weekly}\times2$$ $$\text{Monthly}= \text{Weekly}\times4.333333$$ $$\text{Quarterly}= \text{Weekly}\times13$$ $$\text{Yearly}= \text{Weekly}\times52$$Worked example A (yearly to others)
- Input – $58,000 yearly, H = 7.5, D = 5.
- Hourly: $$rac{58{,}000}{7.5\times5\times52}=29.74$$
- Daily: $$rac{58{,}000}{52\times5}=223.08$$
- Weekly: $$rac{58{,}000}{52}=1,115.38$$
- Monthly: $$1,115.38\times4.333333=4,833.33$$
Worked example B (hourly to others)
- Input – $32.50 hourly, H = 6, D = 4.
- Weekly: $$32.5\times6\times4=780$$
- Yearly: $$780\times52=40,560$$
- Monthly: $$780\times4.333333=3,380$$
