## Description

Stop guessing what a yearly salary actually means for your weekly budget. This MCP gives your AI client the math tools needed to break down annual pay into an hourly rate. Instead of assuming a standard 40-hour week, you can input your actual working hours and the number of weeks you work each year. This is useful when you are looking at contract roles with different schedules or comparing a high-salary job with fewer hours against a lower-salary job with more hours. You can use standard work profiles to save time or check if a proposed schedule is even realistic. It's a direct way to see the true value of a compensation package.
