Input example
20‑hour weekly workday · 4 weeks of 20 days for comparison workers · $12,000 per hour · per task → 4‑hour overtime · $48,000
Assume 20 scheduled work hours per week, 20 scheduled workdays over 4 weeks for the comparable employee, an hourly wage of 12,000 won, and full attendance. Weekly paid rest hours = 20 × 4 ÷ 20 = 4 hours, for an estimated weekly allowance of 48,000 won. The monthly average is the weekly amount × 52 ÷ 12 = 208,000 won.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does meeting the 15-hour average weekly schedule threshold qualify for the Korean weekly paid holiday allowance?
Guidance from Korea’s Ministry of Employment and Labor describes the basic conditions as employee coverage under the Labor Standards Act, at least 15 scheduled work hours in an average 1-week period over 4 weeks, and full attendance on scheduled workdays in the relevant week. This calculator does not determine employee status or individual circumstances such as leave or work suspension.
Why are 4-week standard working hours for comparative workers needed?
Part-time employees may work different days from a regular employee doing the same work. Korea’s Ministry of Employment and Labor describes calculating the amount by dividing scheduled work hours over 4 weeks by the regular employee’s total scheduled workdays over the same period. Check the actual work schedules before entering the comparable employee’s workdays.
Is the monthly average adjustment the same as the salary statement?
No. It is a average reference value calculated by multiplying 52weeks ÷ 12months by the weekly expected amount. Actual payment weeks, contracts, holidays, business forms, and wage calculation methods are not considered, so check the pay stub and the Ministry of Labor and Employment.
