I think this is mostly a US thing. Why use yearly salary? Youโ€™re not paid once a year, are you? Most likely once a month. Referencing monthly salary makes much more sense.

โ€œIโ€™m making 50kโ€. Great, now I have to guess - dollars? Monthly? Yearly? If yearly then whatโ€™s the monthly paycheck? Net? Gross?

For the US, but going by this thread itโ€™s not limited to here.

Also, for what itโ€™s worth, I would think if op was in a place that used monthly as the standard they wouldnโ€™t have posted this complaint. If thatโ€™s not the case Iโ€™m confused by the point of this post?
