How to Calculate Work-Study Hours
Divide your total work-study award by your hourly rate and weeks available.
Formula
Hours per Week = Total Award / (Hourly Rate x Weeks)
Most work-study positions allow 10–15 hours per week during the school year.
Example Calculation
A $3,000 work-study award at $12/hour over 30 weeks.
- 01Hours per week = $3,000 / ($12 x 30) = $3,000 / $360 = 8.3 hours
- 02Total hours = $3,000 / $12 = 250 hours
- 03Monthly earnings = $3,000 / 6.93 months = $433
