1. What is Daily to Annual Rate Conversion?

The Daily to Annual Rate conversion calculates the equivalent annual income or cost based on a daily rate, assuming 260 working days per year (52 weeks × 5 days).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the conversion formula:

Where:

• \( \text{Daily Rate} \) — Rate per day in currency
• \( 260 \) — Standard working days per year
• \( \text{Annual Rate} \) — Equivalent annual rate in currency

Explanation: This calculation assumes a standard work year with weekends and public holidays excluded from the working calendar.

3. Importance of Rate Conversion

Details: Converting daily rates to annual equivalents is essential for budgeting, contract negotiations, salary comparisons, and financial planning for both employers and employees.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the daily rate in your local currency. The calculator will automatically compute the annual equivalent based on 260 working days.
