How it works
Count the days from 1 January to your pay date, including both. Divide the year-to-date pay by that count, then multiply by the days in the year.
This assumes pay has been steady all year. Raises, bonuses, unpaid leave or a late start will change the result.
Worked example
Pay of $18,000.00 so far, up to a pay date on day 181 of the year, scales to $36,298.34 for the full year, or $3,024.86 a month.
Questions
Why count days rather than pay periods?
Counting days works for any pay schedule, so weekly, biweekly and monthly pay all give a fair figure.
Should I use gross or net pay?
Use gross pay, which is before tax, for a pre-tax yearly figure. Net pay gives a take-home figure, but it moves with tax and deductions.
Does a bonus change the answer?
Yes. A one-time bonus makes the figure look higher than your usual pay, so take it out first if you want your regular yearly rate.
