Convert salary and hourly pay
Method and formulas
The calculator normalizes the entered amount to an annual gross value, then derives each pay period from that value.
Annual hours
annual hours = hours per week × paid weeksPaid weeks are the entered weeks minus unpaid leave weeks.
Hourly from annual
hourly rate = annual pay ÷ annual hoursThe hourly rate uses the hours and weeks you entered.
Annual from hourly
annual pay = hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeksBonuses, commissions and paid overtime are added separately.
Effective hourly rate
effective hourly = total annual value ÷ real annual timeReal time can include unpaid overtime and commuting if you enable them.
How to use the salary converter
Convert salary to hourly rate
Enter annual, monthly, weekly, biweekly or daily pay, then choose the hours and weeks that describe the work schedule.
Convert hourly rate to salary
Choose hourly as the starting frequency. The annual and monthly estimates update from the paid weeks and weekly hours.
Account for unpaid leave
Unpaid leave reduces paid weeks for hourly, daily and weekly estimates. Paid leave is shown as an assumption and does not automatically reduce fixed salary.
Compare effective hourly rates
Add unpaid overtime or commuting time to see a personal effective hourly estimate beside the contract rate.
Compare two job offers
Offer comparison keeps the currency identical and reports differences by income, effective hourly rate and annual time.
Important limits
- The result is a gross mathematical estimate, not a payslip.
- Taxes, social contributions, deductions and local employment rules are not applied.
- Overtime multipliers are user inputs, not legal defaults.
- Commuting time is only used for a personal effective rate and may not be paid work time.
