Salary Calculator

Convert a salary between hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly.

How the calculator works

The entered amount is first normalized to an annual figure: monthly amounts multiply by 12, weekly by 52, daily by 52 × days-per-week, and hourly by 52 × hours-per-week. Every other figure then derives from the annual value — monthly is ÷ 12, weekly is ÷ 52, the daily rate is the weekly rate ÷ working days, and the hourly rate is the daily rate ÷ hours per day, where hours per day equal weekly hours ÷ weekly days. The two-weeks row simply doubles the weekly figure, matching the common biweekly payroll cycle. All figures are gross: taxes, social contributions, and benefits sit on top of this arithmetic, not inside it.

Formula

Annual = amount × period factor
Hourly = Annual ÷ (52 × hours per week)

Where:

  • period factor — 1 for yearly, 12 for monthly, 52 for weekly, 52 × days for daily, 52 × hours for hourly
  • hours per week — your actual contracted hours
  • days per week — your actual working days, used for the daily rate

Example

A $60,000 annual salary at 40 hours across 5 days: monthly pay is $5,000.00, weekly $1,153.85, the daily rate $230.77, and the hourly rate $28.85 — with the biweekly paycheck at $2,307.69. An hourly offer of $30 sounds higher, but at the same schedule it equals $62,400 a year; and a freelance rate needs roughly a third more than a staff hourly rate once unpaid admin time is priced in.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these figures before or after tax?
Before — everything shown is gross pay. Net salary depends on income tax brackets, social contributions, and local deductions that vary enormously, so gross conversions are the only universally comparable baseline.
Why is my monthly pay not exactly annual ÷ 12?
Some employers pay over 12 months, others over 13 or 26 cycles, and calendar months differ in length. Payroll averages are close to ÷ 12, but your contract wording decides — check whether 'monthly salary' is defined independently of the annual figure.
What about paid vacation and holidays?
Salaried work typically includes paid leave, so the annual figure already covers it. For hourly contractors the time off is unpaid — which is why their equivalent rate must be higher to match a salaried total.
How do I price freelance work from a salary?
Convert the salary to its hourly rate, then add 25–35% to cover unpaid time (admin, sales, gaps), equipment, and the absence of benefits. The hourly row of this calculator is the starting point for that arithmetic.
