I worked 3 hours past quitting time. How many days is that?

Enter the hours and Tallyday converts them. With the default 8 hours = 1 day, 11 hours is 1.375 days. If your crew counts differently, change the hours per day in settings.

Can my pay period run from the 21st to the 20th?

Yes. Pick any start day from the 1st to the 28th and totals follow that period, e.g. May 21 – June 20.

Does it show take-home pay after tax?

Yes. Choose 3.3% withholding, Korean daily worker income tax or none, and take-home pay appears under the calendar.

I work at several sites a month. Can I tell them apart?

Every site has its own color on the calendar, and you get totals per site.

What about days split between two sites?

Log each site separately on the same day, e.g. 0.5 at site A and 0.5 at site B.

Can I mark days as paid?

Paid days get a strike-through and a green dot, and you can settle a whole period at once.

How do I move my records to a new phone?

Back up to a file in settings and restore it on the new phone. No account and no storage permission. CSV export is there too.

Yes. The home screen widget adds +1 day for today without opening the app.

Day laborer pay in Korea: 3.3% withholding vs daily worker tax

Day-rate workers in Korea usually see one of two deductions. 3.3% withholding treats pay as business income and takes 3% income tax plus 0.3% local tax. Daily worker income tax subtracts ₩150,000 a day, applies 6%, gives a 55% tax credit and adds 10% local tax. On a ₩200,000 day, 3.3% takes ₩6,600 while daily worker tax takes ₩1,485.

3.3% withholding (business income)

Tax = pay × 3.3%. A ₩200,000 day leaves ₩193,400. Because it is business income, filing a return the following May often gets some of it back.

Daily worker income tax

Income tax = (day rate − ₩150,000) × 6% × 45%, local tax = income tax × 10%. On ₩200,000: ₩50,000 × 6% = ₩3,000, × 45% = ₩1,350, plus ₩135 local tax = ₩1,485, leaving ₩198,515.

At ₩150,000 or less there is no income tax, and income tax under ₩1,000 is not withheld. Withholding settles the tax, so no return is needed.

Take-home by day rate

Taxes only; social insurance deductions are not included.

Day rate	After 3.3%	After daily worker tax
₩150,000	₩145,050	₩150,000 (no tax)
₩180,000	₩174,060	₩180,000 (under ₩1,000, not withheld)
₩200,000	₩193,400	₩198,515
₩250,000	₩241,750	₩247,030
₩300,000	₩290,100	₩295,545

Which one applies to you

Check the amount deducted on your pay slip or deposit.
If it equals 3.3% of your pay, it is business-income withholding.
If it is much smaller or zero, it is likely daily worker tax.
Not sure? Ask your employer which way they report you.

In Tallyday

Choose 3.3%, daily worker tax or none in Tallyday's settings, and your days, gross and estimated take-home pay for the period appear under the calendar.
