How the math works
New pay per week = new rate x paid hours, or salary / 52
Hours you really work = paid hours + extra unpaid hours
Real hourly rate = new pay per week / hours you really work
Change = real hourly rate - current rateThe defaults are example numbers, not real pay figures. Pay changes a lot by trade, region, and union. A salary often means no overtime, so count the long weeks too. This does not include taxes, benefits, a truck, or a bonus. Add those yourself before you decide.
