How Salary Basis Options Work with Salary Amounts and Calculations

The interval used to quote and store salary, such as hourly or annually, is the frequency of the salary basis associated with the salary record.

The annualization factor is the numeric multiplier for the frequency. Calculations use the factor and the salary amount to decide the annual salary amount, as these examples show.

Frequency Annualization Factor Salary (USD) Annual Salary (USD)
Annually 1 50,000 50,000
Monthly 12 10,000 120,000
Hourly 2080 100 208,000
