Where do they describe it on a monthly basis? I’m in Australia and I’ve never heard anyone describe their salary in anything other than annual. Take home pay we’d go fortnightly though.
In Serbia as well. Whenever someone mentions an annual salary, I have to divide it by 12 to get some sense out of it, because we only talk about the monthly.
Over here in Belgium we do, I thought that’s how it’s done in most countries. It makes more sense to me too, you get your salary monthly (or maybe fortnightly like you) and you talk about your rent, debt payments, … also on a monthly basis.
In the U.S., most salary jobs are spoken about in annual terms. Job listing’s list annual salary, offer letters list annual pay, my employee portal lists annual pay, etc. My pay stubs are biweekly though. Pretty much nothing is ever described in monthly terms, at least not that I’ve ever seen.
In NZ we would talk annual salary, rent per week, and we just don’t talk about mortgage payments because it’s easier not to.
I think we probably do annual salary because there isn’t consistency with how people are paid. Weekly and fortnightly are probably the most common, but monthly is pretty normal too and I’ve seen some being paid twice monthly.
Slovakia, Czechia, Hungary no one in these countries talks on annual basis. it’s always monthly or hourly wage if it’s not a salaried position, but most are salaried and paycheck is once a month.

Don’t you have a 13th paycheck?

Same in Croatia. Also think it’s in most countries.
