What is the Hourly to Salary Calculator?

Job offers and pay rates come in different shapes: one role quotes an hourly rate, another an annual salary, and comparing them in your head is error-prone. This calculator converts between the two both ways, using your real hours per week and weeks per year, so you're always comparing like with like.

It runs entirely in your browser and shows every pay period at once.

What does this tool do?

Pick a direction. Hourly → Salary multiplies your rate by your weekly hours and working weeks to give weekly, monthly, bi-weekly and annual pay. Salary → Hourly does the reverse, dividing an annual figure by your total yearly hours to reveal the equivalent hourly rate. All results update as you type.

Everything is gross — before tax — so it's ideal for comparing offers on the same basis.

Tips

Set weeks per year to less than 52 if you take unpaid leave — it changes the hourly equivalent noticeably.
For a fair offer comparison, use the same hours and weeks for both roles.
Remember these are gross figures; check take-home separately, as tax varies by income and location.
Part-time? Enter your real weekly hours rather than 40 for an accurate annual figure.
Freelancers: divide a target salary by billable (not total) hours for a realistic rate.

Common mistakes to avoid

Assuming 40 hours and 52 weeks always

Fix: Enter your real hours and working weeks — unpaid leave and part-time hours change the result.

Comparing gross to take-home

Fix: These figures are pre-tax; don't compare them against a post-tax number.

Ignoring unpaid time off

Fix: Fewer paid weeks raises the hourly equivalent of a salary — set weeks accordingly.

Using total hours for freelance rates

Fix: Base a freelance rate on billable hours, which are fewer than hours worked.
