Average Weekly Wage Formula
The following formula is used to calculate an average weekly wage:
AWW = AS / W
- Where AWW is the average weekly wage ($)
- AS is the annual salary ($)
- W is the number of weeks used for the average (commonly 52 for a calendar-year average, or the number of weeks worked)
To calculate the average weekly wage, divide the annual salary by the number of weeks you want to average over (often 52 for a calendar-year average).

How to calculate average weekly wage?
Example Problem:
The following example outlines how to calculate an average weekly wage.
First, determine the person's annual salary. In this example, the person in question earns a total of $50,000.00.
Next, use the formula above to calculate the average weekly wage. If the person works fewer than 52 weeks per year, substitute the number of weeks worked.
AWW = AS / W
AWW = 50,000 / 52
AWW = $961.54.
