Hourly and part-time monthly pay calculator

About this tool

Choose gross or take-home input to calculate the corresponding amount under your selected deductions. Estimate a monthly wage from an hourly rate and contracted weekly hours, then inspect insurance and income-tax deductions separately. In the Korean profile, weekly paid holiday hours are included only when weekly hours reach 15 and you confirm that eligibility conditions are met. Actual monthly work schedules and payroll practices can differ from the average-month conversion.

How to use

Choose gross or take-home input. In take-home mode, enter a desired monthly net amount to solve for a gross hourly wage at your selected paid hours.
For Korea 2026, enter hourly wage and contractual weekly hours from 0 to 40. The published minimum wage is KRW 10,320/hour, but eligibility and compliance are not automatically adjudicated.
Confirm weekly paid holiday eligibility. At 15+ hours the holiday allowance uses weekly hours ÷ 40 × 8, up to 8 hours; otherwise it is zero.
Average monthly paid hours use weekly paid hours × 365 ÷ 7 ÷ 12, rounded to two decimals. Full-time 40 regular plus 8 holiday hours uses the official 209-hour convention. Add confirmed extra allowances manually.
Select actual insurance enrollment and monthly tax information. The overseas manual profile uses the actual monthly paid hours you enter and does not add Korean weekly holiday hours.
Reverse calculation finds the smallest supported gross input reaching the net target. Rounding differences are shown. Ordinary employee industrial accident premiums are employer paid and are not deducted from wages.
