Weekly Holiday Pay Basis and Five-Day Assumption
Reference date and last reviewed: July 10, 2026
Calculation Basis
Assuming at least 15 scheduled weekly hours and attendance on every scheduled workday, the five-day input mode calculates paid holiday hours as weekly hours divided by five and multiplies by hourly wage.
Reference Limits
Results can differ for schedules other than five days, very short hours, absences or holidays, changes to scheduled workdays, and employer wage rules. This arithmetic alone does not determine a legal payment obligation.
When to Confirm Officially
If scheduled days, attendance, paid holiday hours, or unpaid wages are unclear, review the employment contract and attendance records with payroll, the labor authority, or a labor professional.
Usage Tips
Check South Korea weekly holiday pay separately from wage conversion
Enter an hourly wage and scheduled weekly hours to estimate paid weekly holiday hours and pre-tax weekly holiday pay. Use this page when you need the allowance itself, not a full hourly-monthly-annual wage conversion.
What is Korea Weekly Holiday Pay Calculator?
The Weekly Holiday Pay Calculator estimates South Korea pre-tax weekly holiday pay from hourly wage, scheduled weekly hours, and whether the scheduled workdays were completed.

- 1Enter the hourly wage. The default is KRW 10,320, the 2026 South Korea minimum hourly wage assumption used by this site.
- 2Enter scheduled weekly hours based on the employment agreement, not just irregular actual hours.
- 3Choose whether the scheduled workdays for the week were completed.
- 4Review the 15-hour rule check, paid holiday hours, and estimated weekly holiday pay.
- 5Copy the result into payroll notes, part-time pay checks, or employment-contract review notes.
Paid weekly-holiday hours and weekly pay
Last reviewed: July 10, 2026The calculator’s five-day-week assumption
paid holiday hours = min(8, scheduled weekly hours÷5) · pay = hourly wage×paid hours
The tool calculates only when scheduled weekly hours are at least 15 and scheduled workdays were completed. Dividing by five is a simplified five-day-week assumption, so other work patterns need separate confirmation.
Example: KRW 10,320/hour, 20 scheduled weekly hours, completed days
- • 20 scheduled weekly hours
- • Scheduled workdays completed
- 1. paid holiday hours = 20÷5 = 4
- 2. weekly holiday pay = 10,320×4 = KRW 41,280
- 3. weekly base pay = 10,320×20 = KRW 206,400
- 4. weekly total = KRW 247,680
Estimated pre-tax weekly holiday pay is KRW 41,280 and weekly total pay is KRW 247,680.
How to read the result
- Enter contractual scheduled hours, not total presence time plus irregular overtime.
- At the boundary, this tool treats 15 hours or more as meeting the rule and anything below as zero.
- Weekly total combines scheduled-hour base pay and holiday pay; overtime, night, and holiday-work premiums are excluded.
Conditions that change the result
- Schedules other than five days, varying ultra-part-time weeks, and four-week averaging need contract and roster review.
- Absence, lateness, early departure, substituted holidays, and workplace policy can affect completion and payment treatment.
- The default KRW 10,320 is the 2026 minimum hourly wage; an entered contractual wage takes priority.
Common input mistakes
- Do not add all overtime or total time on site to scheduled weekly hours.
- Do not enter the monthly 209-hour figure in the weekly-hours field.
- Selecting completed scheduled days when required days were missed produces a holiday-pay estimate.

FAQ
Q.When does this calculator treat weekly holiday pay as eligible?
It uses the general simplified conditions of at least 15 scheduled hours in the week and attendance on every scheduled workday. Contract terms, the actual schedule, absences, and applicable labor rules still need to be checked for a real payroll decision.
Q.Why are paid holiday hours calculated as weekly hours divided by 5?
The formula scales from the common 40-hour week, where the paid weekly holiday is 8 hours. One fifth of scheduled weekly hours gives the proportional paid holiday hours, capped at 8.
Q.What happens at 15 weekly hours?
With the default KRW 10,320 hourly wage and 15 scheduled weekly hours, paid holiday hours are 3 and estimated weekly holiday pay is KRW 30,960.
Q.Is this take-home pay?
No. It is a pre-tax reference amount. Actual deposited pay can differ because of tax, social insurance, contract terms, attendance handling, and employer payroll rules.
