Hi There,


I am new to the payroll hence could you please advise if the below method is correct to calculate payroll.


Calculating Hours in a month = 

  1. Weekly hours = 38
  2. Yearly hours = 38*52
  3. Monthly hours = (38*52)/12

Calculating Hourly rate = 

  1. Yearly Rate = 75,000
  2. Weekly Rate = 75,000 / 52
  3. Hourly Rate = (75,000 / 12) / 38

Thank you

G'day @ADC 👋


If you're new to payroll, then the best advice I can give you is this: the Fair Work Ombudsman is the regulator for employees and pay. They also have tools to assist you to calculate pay, such as the PACT.


The ATO can assist with how to classify those payments for tax, super and reporting purposes, but cannot advise on how to calculate those payments 😉
