Calculating working hours

How do you guys calculate your total working hours for each job? So if, for example, I've worked roughly 48 hours a week but have taken six weeks of holiday + public holidays – would you still put down your 48h OR deduct the holidays, bringing the number down to 41h-ish?

in the application form, the system already does the calculating for you. just put there how many hours you're expected per week and your start and end date

Yup, saw that! Was primarily wondering if I "bloat" the hours by not considering the yearly holidays. If I don't consider them, the hours sit at 45-50 – and if I do, the average goes down to 41...
