To calculate your hourly rate, you will need to divide your gross pay (earnings before money has been deducted for tax, pension,
and other items) by the number of hours you worked during the payment period.
To give an example, if you worked 140 hours over the course of a month and earned €1,708, your calculation would look
something like this: 1708 / 140 = 12.20
Here your hourly wage would be €12.20 — almost €1 more than the national minimum wage in Ireland.
