The employee schedule treats leave and public holidays as paid time. Contractor hours remove those days, then reduce billable time and add the benefit replacement you choose.
25 days off · 15% unbillable time · 20% benefit replacement. Before benefits, matching the salary requires $33.19 per billed hour.

PAY SCHEDULE FIELD GUIDE
Two pay schedules can share the same salary and still feel different
Biweekly pay arrives every two weeks, usually 26 times a year. Semi-monthly pay arrives twice each calendar month, 24 times a year. At $62,400, that is $2,400 per biweekly cheque versus $2,600 semi-monthly. The annual amount is the same, but the monthly budget rhythm is not.
How the contractor comparison is built
- Start with the employee’s gross annual equivalent.
- Subtract paid leave and public holidays from potential work hours.
- Reduce remaining hours by the unbillable share for admin, sales, and payment follow-up.
- Add the chosen benefit-replacement percentage, then divide by billable hours.
Every figure is gross arithmetic. Tax, overtime, bonus, equity, retirement match, insurance details, and local employment rules are outside this comparison.
