1. What is Daily Basic Rate?

The Daily Basic Rate represents the amount an employee earns per working day, calculated by dividing the annual salary by the standard number of working days in a year (typically 260 days).

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the daily rate formula:

Where:

• \( Annual\ Salary \) — Total yearly compensation before deductions
• \( 260 \) — Standard number of working days per year

Explanation: This calculation assumes a standard work year of 260 days, which accounts for weekends and typical holidays.

3. Importance of Daily Rate Calculation

Details: Daily rate calculation is essential for contract workers, part-time employees, pro-rata salary calculations, leave encashment, and determining daily compensation for temporary assignments.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the annual salary in your local currency. The calculator will automatically divide by 260 working days to provide the daily rate.

Q3: Is this before or after taxes?

Q4: How accurate is this for part-time workers?
