Calculators & Converters
Salary / Hourly Wage Calculator
The Salary / Hourly Wage Calculator converts an hourly rate into an equivalent annual, monthly or weekly salary, or works the other way by breaking an annual salary down into an hourly rate, based on the number of hours you typically work. It's useful for comparing job offers quoted in different pay formats, freelancers setting rates, or anyone curious what their pay works out to on a different timescale.
The conversion is calculated instantly in your browser as soon as you enter a rate and your working hours, with no data sent to a server at any point. That means you can quickly test different hours-per-week assumptions and see the numbers update immediately.
How to Use the Salary / Hourly Wage Calculator
- Open the Salary / Hourly Wage Calculator tool.
- Enter either your hourly rate or your annual salary.
- Enter the number of hours you typically work per week (and weeks per year, if asked).
- View the converted pay figures across hourly, weekly, monthly and annual timescales.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is annual salary calculated from an hourly rate?
The tool multiplies your hourly rate by the hours you work per week and then by the number of working weeks per year, giving a gross annual estimate before any deductions.
Does this calculation include taxes or deductions?
No, the figures shown are gross pay estimates only; actual take-home pay depends on taxes, benefits and other deductions specific to your situation, which this tool does not calculate.
What if I don't work a standard number of weeks per year?
You can adjust the hours and weeks inputs to match your actual work pattern, including accounting for unpaid time off, to get a more personalized estimate.
