## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability finance-calculators-pay-period-converter-cfbfca6f
```

Example prompt: If I earn $32 an hour working 40 hours a week for 50 weeks a year, what does that work out to as a weekly, biweekly, monthly, and annual salary?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to normalize or compare compensation figures across different pay period frequencies — e.g. comparing a salary offer to an hourly contract rate, or helping a user understand their effective hourly rate from an annual salary. It handles custom hours-per-week and weeks-per-year inputs, making it suitable for part-time, seasonal, or non-standard work schedules.

## Known failure modes

- Missing required 'amount' query parameter returns an error
- Missing required 'per' query parameter returns an error
- Invalid 'per' value (not one of: hour, week, biweekly, month, year) causes a validation failure
- Non-numeric amount value causes a parsing error
- Extremely large or negative values may produce nonsensical but technically valid output

## How this service works

Convert pay between hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly and annual for a given hours per week and weeks worked.

## Output

Returns a structured object with the pay amount expressed across all standard pay periods: hourly, daily (5-day week), weekly, biweekly, monthly, and annual. Also echoes back the hours per week and weeks per year assumptions used, along with a summary, verdict, disclaimer, and optional degraded/reasons fields if any assumptions were applied.
