Frequently asked questions

Why is 209 hours used?

It is a common Korean monthly equivalent for a 40-hour workweek plus paid weekly rest time. Your contract may use a different basis.

Will the estimated net pay match a payslip?

No. It applies one editable planning rate. Income tax tables, dependants, insurance caps, and employer rules require a full payroll calculation.

How is non-taxable pay handled?

The monthly amount you enter is excluded from the base used for the custom deduction estimate. Confirm actual eligibility with payroll staff.
