How to Calculate Your Holiday Pay
The standard formula for calculating holiday pay in Norway is:

A worker in Norway earning kr25/hour working 8 hours on a public holiday:
- Holiday rate at 2x: kr25 × 2 = kr50.00/hour
- Holiday pay: kr50.00 × 8 hours = kr400.00
- Regular pay would be: kr25 × 8 = kr200.00
- Extra premium earned: kr200.00
