4-Day Work Week Pay Calculator: Calculate Your Pay Impact
Calculate how switching to a 4-day work week affects your hourly rate, annual salary, and true work-life balance value. Compare full pay, reduced pay, and productivity-based models.
How 4-Day Work Week Pay Is Calculated
There are three common 4-day work week models, each affecting pay differently.
The 100-80-100 model is used by companies like Perpetual Guardian and Microsoft Japan. Research shows 20–40% productivity gains offset the reduced hours.

Real-World Scenario Example
"On a $75,000/year salary: 100-80-100 model = $75,000/year but $45.67/hr effective rate (same as before). 80% pay model = $60,000/year. Compressed = same pay, same hours, different days."
