Formula Explained
The calculation is straightforward:
Annual Salary = Bi-weekly Salary × Number of Pay Periods
In Ontario, most employees receive paychecks every two weeks (26 pay periods per year). Some employees may receive 24 paychecks per year if they take a leave of absence.
For example, if you earn $1,500 bi-weekly and receive 26 paychecks:
Annual Salary = $1,500 × 26 = $39,000
Worked Examples
Example 1: Standard 26 Pay Periods
If your bi-weekly salary is $1,200 and you receive 26 paychecks:
Annual Salary = $1,200 × 26 = $31,200
Example 2: Reduced 24 Pay Periods
If your bi-weekly salary is $1,800 but you only receive 24 paychecks due to a leave:
Annual Salary = $1,800 × 24 = $43,200
