1. What is Daily Rate Calculation?

The Daily Rate Calculation determines an employee's daily compensation based on their annual salary and the number of working days in a year. This is commonly used for contract work, part-time calculations, and payroll processing.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the daily rate formula:

Where:

• \( Annual\ Salary \) — Total yearly compensation in currency
• \( Working\ Days \) — Number of working days per year (typically 260)

Explanation: The standard 260 working days assumes 52 weeks × 5 working days per week, excluding weekends and standard holidays.

3. Importance of Daily Rate Calculation

Details: Accurate daily rate calculation is essential for contract negotiations, part-time employment arrangements, pro-rata salary calculations, and determining overtime or additional work compensation.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter annual salary in your local currency and the number of working days (default is 260). All values must be valid (salary > 0, working days between 1-365).
