The fact remains that there are NOT only 52 weeks in the year, it's a little more than 52 - so your figures aren't going to work as the 365.25 figure is taking into account EVERY single day, your calculations are based on perfect 52 week years which don't exist!

There are 52.14 (rounded) weeks in a year. FACT.
There are 365.25 (rounded) days in a year. FACT.

so you cant calculate a weekly number then * it by 52 to get the yearly figure, then using the overall days in the year to calculate one day worth of the yearly figure.

I already told you - your figures take into consideration that there are 52 perfect weeks in a year, THERE ARE NOT! There is OVER 52 weeks per year, THEREFORE you will not be able to use 52 as a figure for weekly amounts. Similarly you cannot use 365 as there are not 365 perfect days in a year, there is a little more.

That is why we have a leap year, to add up the 1/4 of days = 1 day, that we don't account for 3 years out of 4.

What's so difficult to understand?!

Not sure what you mean here, but 149.5 * ~52.14 = ~ 7800? What's the problem?

£25 a year? Big deal. . .get over it. I suggest if you walk around looking at the floor where ever you go you will find 50p per week, hence recouping the loss.

Exactly. If you use days as your figure for calculating your income, i.e. divide your income into how much you get per day, you have to take into consideration that there are more than 52 weeks in a year!!!!!

PLEASE TELL ME YOU UNDERSTAND THIS!!!!

You probably spend about an hour of day not working when you are paid to do so.

Do you actually end up with £7800 a year (let's not talk about tax or anything like that)?? If so, then you are getting paid all your money and surely it's not a problem?

crashuk · 15 Apr 2006 at 18:06

freefall i understand it, but its relating it to a financial calculation, iam trying to explain you cant do the following £650 per month * 12= 7800 / 365 then * 7 = £149.50p. if your going to do it that way then you must the daily figure by 7.44 to give me £150per week. But they are saying no there isnt .4 of a day in week.
I hope you see where iam coming from.
