Salary & Hourly Wage Converter

Convert pay between hourly, weekly, monthly and yearly figures.

Gross (pre-tax) figures. Take-home pay depends on tax and deductions where you live.

Comparing pay on the same footing

A job advertised at an hourly rate and one quoting an annual salary are hard to compare at a glance. This converter puts everything onto one annual figure first, then breaks it back down into hourly, daily, weekly and monthly amounts.

annual = rate scaled by your hours, days and weeks worked

Your working pattern drives the result. The same annual salary is a higher hourly rate if you work fewer hours, and the same hourly rate earns less per year if you work fewer weeks. Adjust the hours, days and weeks to match your real schedule.

Worked example

At $25 an hour for 40 hours a week across 52 weeks, gross pay is about $52,000 a year — roughly $4,333 a month, $1,000 a week and $200 a day. These are pre-tax figures.

Reading an offer clearly

Converting pay to a common basis makes offers comparable and helps you sense-check a rate against the hours behind it. A headline salary can hide long hours; a tidy hourly rate can add up to less than expected over a part-year contract.

Worth remembering

Gross is not take-home. Tax and deductions reduce these figures, and vary widely by country.
Benefits count too. Pension, healthcare and paid leave are real value beyond the headline number.
Hours are the hidden variable. Always check what working pattern a quoted figure assumes.

This is general information, not financial advice.

Frequently asked questions

Are these figures before or after tax?

Before tax. They are gross pay — your take-home will be lower after income tax, social contributions and any other deductions, which depend on where you live and your circumstances.

How is an annual salary turned into an hourly rate?

The annual amount is divided by the hours worked in a year — your weekly hours times the number of working weeks. Fewer hours or weeks raises the implied hourly rate.

Should I use 52 weeks?

Use 52 for a simple full-year figure. If you want to account for unpaid leave, drop the weeks accordingly — for example 48 weeks if you take four unpaid.

Why might my monthly figure look off?

Monthly here is simply the annual divided by 12. Actual pay cheques can vary if you are paid every four weeks, or weekly, because months are not equal lengths.
