How annual work hours are calculated

The basic full-time estimate is 40 hours per week times 52 weeks, or 2,080 scheduled hours per year. This calculator lets you adjust that estimate for weeks worked, workdays per week, PTO, holidays, and other days away.

Scheduled annual hours = hours per week x weeks per yearEstimated actual hours = scheduled hours - excluded days x hours per workday

Scheduled vs. actually worked

Scheduled hours show the time implied by your weekly schedule. Estimated hours actually worked subtract the days away you enter. This is useful when comparing salary, hourly rates, capacity planning, or broad annual time estimates.
