Legal Part-Time Work Regulations for Students

How It Works & Key Terms

Estimates are based on the minimum hourly rate legally allowed in each nation. Monthly figures use a universal standard (Weekly × 4.33 weeks).

📅 Term Time Weeks when your university is officially open and classes are active. Visas usually restrict working to 20 hours to prioritize study performance.

🏖️ Holiday Break Official scheduled breaks (Summer, Christmas, Easter). Break limits vary by country: most permit full-time work (40 hours) during these slots, though Australia caps at 38 hours.

Annual load assumes 35 weeks of study and 17 weeks of holiday per cycle. Your hours apply to the period you select; hours for the other period are scaled proportionally to its statutory cap.
