Korean Minimum Wage Calculator

How to Use

1. Enter your hourly wage, daily working hours, and weekly working days.
2. The tool calculates your daily, weekly, and monthly pay based on Korea's minimum wage standards.
3. Compare your wage against the current legal minimum wage.

Calculation Method

Monthly pay is calculated as hourly wage × monthly standard working hours. Monthly standard hours include paid weekly holiday hours required under Korean labor law: for a 40-hour work week, this typically totals around 174 hours per month (40 hours × 4.345 weeks, including the paid weekly rest day). The tool flags whether your entered hourly wage meets the legally mandated minimum.

Common Uses

• Checking whether a job offer meets Korea's legal minimum wage.
• Estimating expected monthly income from an hourly wage.
• Verifying payroll calculations include the paid weekly holiday correctly.
