Salary to Hourly Calculator

Comparing a salaried offer with an hourly rate - or checking what your pay really works out to per hour - is easier when every period sits side by side. Set your hours per week and working weeks per year to match your reality (gross pay, before tax).

How it works

  1. Choose whether you're entering an hourly rate or an annual salary.
  2. Set hours per week (default 40) and paid weeks per year (default 52; use fewer for unpaid time off).
  3. The calculator converts across hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and annual gross pay.
  4. Amounts are pre-tax; take-home pay depends on your country's tax and contributions.

The formula

Annual = hourly x hours/week x weeks/year. Hourly = annual / (hours/week x weeks/year). Monthly = annual / 12; weekly = annual / weeks; daily = weekly / days worked.

Frequently asked questions

Why gross pay instead of take-home?
Income tax and social contributions differ enormously between (and inside) the US and Europe, and change yearly. Converting gross pay is universally accurate; for net pay, apply your own payslip's effective deduction percentage to these figures.
What weeks-per-year number should I use?
52 if you are salaried or paid for holidays. If you are hourly without paid leave, subtract unpaid weeks - e.g. 48 weeks if you take four unpaid weeks off. This is the setting people most often get wrong when comparing offers.
Is a salaried offer or a higher hourly rate better?
Convert both to annual using your realistic hours. A salary quietly covering 50-hour weeks can pay a lower true hourly rate than an honest hourly job - this calculator makes that visible in seconds.
