Frequently Asked Questions
What is weekly holiday allowance (주휴수당)?
Weekly holiday allowance is a legally mandated paid day off for workers who complete all scheduled work days in a week and work at least 15 hours per week. It's calculated as: hourly wage × (weekly hours ÷ 40) × 8 hours.
How is overtime pay calculated in Korea?
Overtime pay in Korea is calculated at 1.5 times the regular hourly wage. This applies to work exceeding 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week under the Labor Standards Act.
How is night shift pay calculated?
Night shift pay (for work between 22:00 and 06:00) is an additional 50% of the regular hourly wage, making it 1.5 times the base rate. If night work is also overtime, the rate becomes 2.0 times.
What is the 2026 minimum wage in Korea?
The 2026 minimum wage in Korea is ₩10,030 per hour. This calculator will warn you if the entered hourly wage is below this minimum.

How It's Calculated
Weekly pay calculation includes:
1. Base Pay = Hourly Wage × Weekly Regular Hours (up to 40 hours) 2. Overtime Pay = Hourly Wage × 1.5 × Overtime Hours (hours exceeding 40/week) 3. Weekly Holiday Allowance (주휴수당): If you work 15+ hours/week consistently, you receive 1 additional paid day. Weekly Holiday Pay = Hourly Wage × (Weekly Hours / 40) × 8 hours
Total Weekly Pay = Base Pay + Overtime Pay + Weekly Holiday Allowance
For night work (10 PM–6 AM), an additional 50% premium applies. Holiday work also carries a 50% premium, stackable with overtime and night premiums.
⚠️ Disclaimer
Overtime and premium pay rules may differ for workplaces with fewer than 5 employees. Weekly holiday allowance eligibility requires consistent weekly hours of 15 or more. Verify your specific entitlements with the Ministry of Employment and Labor (1350).
