Why this chart uses 38 hours per week
For Australian full-time employees, the National Employment Standards use 38 hours per week as the maximum weekly-hours reference unless reasonable additional hours apply. Awards, enterprise agreements and individual work arrangements can affect ordinary hours, so your actual schedule may be different.
Employment-hours reference: Fair Work Ombudsman — Maximum weekly hours.
Weekly, fortnightly and monthly pay
The table also shows estimated gross pay for common pay periods. Weekly pay is hourly rate × 38. Fortnightly pay is two weeks of gross pay. Monthly pay is the annualised amount divided by 12, which is useful for comparison but may not match an employer's exact payroll cycle.
When your result will be different
Your actual annual earnings can differ if you work fewer than 52 weeks, have unpaid time away from work, regularly work overtime, receive penalty rates or allowances, or have a different number of ordinary weekly hours. Salary packages can also include components such as superannuation or bonuses that are not represented in this simple gross-pay chart.
