It is usually accepted per year when not specified. For example when you talk about GDP, it is yearly. Salary? Yearly usually yearly unless specified. Factory production? Yearly.
And no, you cannot use watts, unless you invent a new unit, watts of capacity?
The units used are correct.

- gambiting 4y ago>>Salary? Yearly usually yearly unless specified. That's a very uniquely English thing. Where I'm from(Poland) you always list the salary per month and that's how people talk about it. I've never seen anyone refer to a salary on an annual basis.
- frant-hartm 4y agoIt's US thing, not English. English would be weekly :-).
- throwawayben 4y agonobody I know (here in England) would say their salary is their weekly earnings. Salary is always per year
- ben_w 4y agoWhen I did a summer holiday job during my A-levels, people talked about hourly rates and got paid weekly; when I was at Aberystwyth at the end of my degree, I remember some local employment scheme that listed pay per week; I think the job contracts after I graduated and before I moved country were usually listing annual pay, but I can't remember. Now I'm in Berlin, discussion is mixed between monthly and annually.
- throwawayben 4y agoyeah for temporary/part time work you'll often have hourly rates with weekly pay, but that wouldn't normally be called a salary
- gambiting 4y agoI live in UK currently and everyone says their salary per annum :-)
- numpad0 4y agoSounds like it’s English thing, that monthly- and yearly-income shares the word ;)
- WesolyKubeczek 4y agoYou can thank our people’s republic past for that. In the whole bloc and the USSR, monthly has been the standard. It just carried over. (Troubled post-socialism past and, to some extent, present, in which the vast majority is living paycheck to paycheck with little to no ability to save up, is sure contributing to this mode of thinking.)
- jaclaz 4y agoRest assured that in many other EU countries that were never a "people's republic" salary is usually talked about on a "per month" basis.
- Tade0 4y ago> Where I'm from(Poland) you always list the salary per month and that's how people talk about it. Depends on the type of contract. I'm also from Poland and unit I use most often is the daily rate because it's the only reliable way for a contractor to calculate earnings. Job listings indeed still use monthly, but their understanding of a month is usually "20 workdays", which is obviously off by at least 10%.
