General information only.
To annualise weekly pay, use:
- Annual salary = weekly pay x 52
Then estimate tax on the annual amount. Do not multiply by 48 or 50 unless you are intentionally modelling unpaid weeks.
Why conversion errors happen
- Mixing weekly, fortnightly, and monthly figures
- Forgetting overtime/allowances are often variable
- Comparing PAYG withheld per cycle with annual tax liability
Use the Pay Frequency Converter first, then verify net pay with the Pay Calculator.
