Paid and unpaid weeks
Salaried employees in the US and UK are normally paid for all 52 weeks, including holidays. Contractors and freelancers are only paid for weeks they work, so set paid weeks to around 46–48 to allow for holidays and gaps between projects.
Before tax
All figures are gross pay. Income tax, National Insurance, Social Security, Medicare, provident fund and pension contributions come out of these amounts and vary by country and income.
