What is a salary / hourly calculator?
A salary and hourly calculator converts an hourly rate into estimated weekly, monthly and annual gross pay, or converts an annual salary into equivalent hourly, weekly and monthly amounts. It is useful when comparing job offers, planning a budget, checking a rate or understanding how a salary relates to a work schedule. Enter your pay amount and the work-schedule assumptions that apply to you.
This calculator uses only the figures you provide and runs in your browser. It does not upload or store your pay information. Use any currency consistently: if you enter an hourly rate in one currency, every displayed estimate is in that same currency.
How to convert hourly pay to salary
- Choose Hourly rate and enter the gross amount paid for one hour of work.
- Enter your usual hours per week and the number of working weeks in a year.
- Set the number of paid months you want to use for the monthly view.
- Review the estimated annual, monthly and weekly gross amounts.
The annual estimate is the hourly rate multiplied by hours per week and working weeks per year. For example, an hourly rate of 25 with 40 hours per week and 52 working weeks gives an annual estimate of 52,000. The monthly figure divides the annual estimate by the number of paid months you entered.
How to convert annual salary to hourly pay
- Choose Annual salary and enter the annual gross salary.
- Enter the hours you work in a normal week and the weeks you expect to work in a year.
- Review the hourly, weekly and monthly equivalents.
The hourly equivalent divides annual salary by hours per week multiplied by working weeks per year. A different number of weeks can account for unpaid leave, seasonal work or another planning assumption. It is not a payroll calculation: salaried roles may have variable hours, overtime rules or pay arrangements that do not map neatly to one hourly rate.
Important limits of pay conversions
All displayed figures are gross estimates before income tax, social contributions, benefit deductions, bonuses, commissions, overtime, leave and other payroll adjustments. Local employment laws and a contract can set different rules for overtime, minimum pay, deductions and paid time off. The calculator does not determine take-home pay or legal entitlement. Use it as a transparent planning tool, then check an offer letter, pay statement, payroll provider or qualified adviser for figures that apply to your situation.
