Convert any pay rate to any other β using your actual working pattern, not a generic 40-hour assumption.
Enter what you know and the calculator fills in the rest.
Everything is converted through a single annual figure, then divided back out:
| From | To annual |
|---|---|
| Hourly | rate Γ hours per week Γ paid weeks |
| Daily | rate Γ days per week Γ paid weeks |
| Weekly | rate Γ paid weeks |
| Monthly | rate Γ 12 |
This is the field generic converters get wrong. If you are salaried with paid annual leave, you are paid for all 52 weeks even though you work fewer β so use 52. If you are a contractor who is only paid for weeks actually worked, and you take four unpaid weeks off, use 48. The same headline day rate produces a materially different annual figure depending on which applies to you.
Many US-centric tools hard-code 2,080 hours (40 Γ 52). That is fine for a standard American full-time job and wrong nearly everywhere else β a 45-hour week is standard across much of the Gulf, 35 hours is common in France, and part-time patterns fit none of them. Setting your own hours and days is why the numbers here match your payslip.
All figures are before income tax, social insurance and any employee contributions. Some countries also pay a statutory 13th month, which is not included here β add it to the annual figure if it applies to you.
Multiply the hourly rate by your hours per week, then by the number of paid weeks in the year. At 25 an hour, 40 hours a week and 52 paid weeks, that is 52,000 a year gross.
Use 52 if you are salaried with paid holiday, because you are paid across the whole year. Use fewer only if there are weeks you genuinely are not paid for, which is typical for contractors and some hourly roles.
Gross β before income tax, social security and any deductions. Net pay depends entirely on your country's tax rules and personal circumstances.
Add it to the annual total separately. A guaranteed 13th month effectively multiplies a monthly salary by 13 rather than 12.
Because a month averages about 4.33 weeks, not 4. Four weekly payments is roughly 92% of a true month, which is why weekly-paid workers get five payments in some months.
