How much work a gyro costs
Minutes of work equivalent to one classic wrap, using wages after contributions and before income tax, annual income divided by 12 and 173.3 working hours per month.
One eight-hour working day
One eight-hour working day in 2026 buys 9.9 gyros, so each gyro costs 0.8 hours of work.
- 1989B20.6 min0.3 hours
- 2002B26.4 min0.4 hours
- 2011B25 min0.4 hours
- 2019A34 min0.6 hours
- 2026B48.6 min0.8 hours
In 1989 you needed 20.6 minutes of work for one classic wrap. In 2026 you need 48.6 minutes.
Formula: (classic-equivalent wrap price / hourly pay) x 60. Hourly pay is the net monthly wage on the comparable basis (annual income / 12) divided by 173.3 hours, i.e. a 40-hour week.
Why we start at 1989: the 40-hour week applies from 1.1.1984 (national agreement of 14.2.1984; in industry 41 to 40 hours from 1.4.1983), while the 1975 agreement set a 45-hour week. Holding hourly pay at 173.3 hours would make earlier years look up to 12% cheaper in work than the wrap actually cost. Every year shown carries a documented price.
