Weekly holiday pay

Generally, average contractual hours must be at least 15 per week over four weeks (or the employment period if shorter). Employment must continue throughout the relevant seven days and all contractual workdays must be attended. The calculator assumes fixed weekly hours and these conditions. The rule also applies to workplaces with fewer than five workers.

For this five-day, forty-hour ordinary-worker assumption, divide weekly contractual hours by five and multiply by the hourly ordinary wage. At 20 hours and ₩12,000 per hour, holiday pay is ₩48,000 and the weekly total is ₩288,000. Amounts round HALF_UP to whole KRW. Displayed hours round to four decimals; calculations use raw minutes.

Use contractual hours, not additional hours actually worked. Lateness and early departure are not automatically absence. Leave, absence and changes to the contract need individual review.

The revised 2021 interpretation does not require work to be scheduled on the eighth day. Employment throughout the relevant seven days is still required. Joining and leaving weeks need date-specific review.

This simple calculator does not handle variable schedules or reverse-calculate an inclusive hourly wage. Enter the hourly ordinary wage excluding holiday pay. Monthly wages may already include holiday pay, so do not add the result automatically.
