How to use the salary to hourly calculator
- Enter your gross pay and choose the period it is quoted in (per hour, per year, and so on).
- Enter your usual hours and days per week.
- Enter how many paid weeks a year you work: 52 if leave and holidays are paid, fewer if some weeks are unpaid.
- Read the same pay in every period and copy the full list if you need it.
Worked example
$60,000 a year, 40 hours a week, 52 paid weeks
$60,000 ÷ (40 × 52 = 2,080 hours) = $28.85 an hour. The same salary is $5,000.00 a month, $2,500.00 semi-monthly, $2,307.69 a fortnight, $1,153.85 a week and $230.77 a day (5 days a week).
How it works
Every amount is converted to an annual figure and back. Hourly × hours per week × paid weeks = annual. Daily × days per week × paid weeks = annual. Weekly × paid weeks, fortnightly × paid weeks ÷ 2, semi-monthly × 24, monthly × 12 and quarterly × 4 all equal annual.
Assumptions
- Gross pay before tax, social security, retirement contributions and other deductions.
- Hours and weeks stay the same all year; overtime, bonuses and allowances are not included.
Frequently asked questions
How many working hours are in a year?
At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, 2,080. At 38 hours a week it is 1,976. Enter your own hours for an accurate figure.
Why isn’t monthly pay four times weekly pay?
A month averages about 4.33 weeks (52 ÷ 12), so monthly pay is one twelfth of the annual figure, not four weeks’ pay.
Does this work out my take-home pay?
No. It converts gross pay only. Tax and deductions depend on your country, income and circumstances.
Limitations
- No tax or deductions.
- Shift penalties, overtime rates and unpaid breaks are not modelled.
