Monthly vs Hourly Pay: The Math When Switching Jobs
Different jobs quote pay differently — some annual, some hourly. Normalize to the same unit to compare real income.
How to convert
- Annual ÷ 12 = monthly
- Monthly ÷ 21.75 ≈ daily (monthly paid days)
- Daily ÷ 8 ≈ hourly
Don't miss the hidden items
Social insurance, subsidies, and overtime intensity all affect take-home pay. Low hourly but little overtime may beat high hourly.
