This chart uses 2,080 hours as a standard. However, the number of hours in a fiscal year may change each July 1, based on the number of regular workdays occurring between July 1 and June 30 of that year. Depending on the number of hours in a given fiscal year, an employee's salary may be spread across 26.0, 26.1 or 26.2 pay periods.
For current annualized fiscal hours and related calculations, review the current year's Calculation Survival Guide.
