How salary conversion works
Marketivate first converts the amount you know into annual gross pay. It then divides that annual figure into the other periods. This shared annual base keeps every result consistent.
Hourly and daily conversion also use your work schedule. Monthly and semimonthly values are calendar divisions of annual pay.
Paid time changes the meaning
A salary may continue during paid leave, while an hourly worker may be paid only for hours worked. Do not subtract paid vacation from a salaried offer unless the contract actually treats it as unpaid.
For offer comparisons, model unpaid time explicitly and value benefits separately.
What this result does not include
The converter shows gross earnings before taxes, payroll deductions, bonuses, overtime, exchange rates, and benefits. It compares pay periods, not complete compensation packages.
