About this calculator
A salary calculator converts pay between hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly and annual figures so you can compare jobs or work out an equivalent rate. It first turns whatever you enter into an annual figure, then divides that across the hours, days and weeks you work to fill in every other period.
For example, a 60,000 annual salary at 40 hours a week over 52 weeks is 60,000 ÷ 2,080 hours ≈ 28.85 an hour, about 1,153 a week and 5,000 a month. Adjust the hours or weeks worked under advanced options and the hourly rate recalculates to match your real schedule.
Use it to compare a salaried offer with an hourly role, to set a freelance day rate, or to see what a raise means per paycheck. All figures are gross, before tax — pair it with the income tax calculator to estimate your take-home pay.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert salary to hourly?
Divide the annual salary by the hours worked per year (hours per week × weeks per year). A £60,000 salary at 40 h/week × 52 weeks is about £28.85 per hour.
Is this before or after tax?
This converts gross (before-tax) pay. Use the income tax calculator to estimate take-home pay.
How many working hours are in a year?
At the common 40 hours a week over 52 weeks it is 2,080 hours. Change the hours per week or weeks per year under advanced options — for instance dropping to 48 paid weeks — and the annual-to-hourly conversion updates accordingly.
How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by the hours you work each week and then by the weeks you work each year. At 28.85 an hour, 40 hours a week and 52 weeks that is about 60,000 a year. Set the "per" field to Hour to do this.
What is biweekly pay?
Biweekly pay is your annual salary divided by 26, since there are 26 fortnights in a year. It is not the same as twice-monthly pay, which divides by 24 — the calculator reports the true biweekly figure.
Does it account for unpaid time off?
Yes, through the weeks-per-year setting. If you take unpaid weeks, lower that number and your true hourly rate rises, because the same annual pay is earned over fewer working weeks.
