Salary Converter (Hourly to Annual)

About this calculator

This converter takes a wage expressed in any one time unit — hourly, daily, weekly, monthly or annual — and recalculates it across all the others, using standard assumptions about hours per day, days per week and weeks per year to bridge between them. It answers the simple but often unclear question of what an hourly rate actually adds up to across a full year, or what an annual salary breaks down to per hour of work.

Job seekers use it to compare offers quoted in different formats, such as comparing an hourly contract rate against a salaried position advertised as an annual figure, and freelancers use it to translate a target annual income into the hourly rate they need to charge. It is also useful for budgeting, since knowing the monthly or weekly equivalent of a wage makes it far easier to plan recurring expenses than working from an abstract annual number alone.
