Salary Converter
Convert pay between hourly, weekly, monthly and annual amounts using your own hours per week and weeks per year.
🔒 Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploadedHow pay rates convert
Every pay rate is the same income expressed over a different time unit, so converting between them is just multiplication and division anchored on the yearly total. The core relationship is annual = hourly × hours per week × weeks per year. From that annual figure the others follow directly: monthly = annual ÷ 12, weekly = annual ÷ weeks per year, and hourly reverses the chain by dividing the annual amount by total hours worked. Because all four fields are linked through the annual total, typing a number into any one of them updates the rest. The two schedule inputs — hours per week and weeks per year — control the conversion, so setting them to match your real working pattern is what makes the result accurate for you rather than a generic 40-hour assumption.
Choosing hours and weeks
The schedule matters more than people expect. A standard full-time year is often modeled as 40 hours across 52 weeks, which equals 2,080 paid hours. If you take two weeks of unpaid leave, use 50 weeks; if you work part-time, lower the hours per week. Note that monthly pay is defined here as the annual amount divided evenly by twelve, which is how salaried pay is usually quoted — it is not the same as four weekly paychecks, since most months are slightly longer than four weeks. Adjusting hours and weeks lets you compare a salaried offer against an hourly or contract rate on a genuine like-for-like basis.
Gross pay and limitations
These figures are gross pay — the amount before income tax, payroll taxes, retirement contributions, health insurance and other deductions. Actual take-home pay is lower and depends heavily on your country, region and personal withholdings, which this tool does not model. It also assumes a steady rate with no overtime premiums, bonuses, commissions or shift differentials; add those separately if they apply. Everything is calculated locally in your browser with no account or tax-table lookup, so it is a fast, private way to compare offers — just remember to estimate deductions before judging real spending power.
