  2. Set your working pattern

    Adjust the hours per week, days per week, and weeks worked per year to match how you actually work, or leave the standard 40, 5, and 52 in place.

  3. Read or copy the result

Why use this tool

Full pay breakdown at once

One salary produces the equivalent hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, and monthly pay together, so you can compare an offer against any pay period.

Matches any working pattern

Change the hours per week, days per week, or weeks worked per year and every figure recalculates, so part-time, compressed, and reduced-year schedules all work.

Accurate hourly maths

The hourly rate is the salary divided by the total hours you work in a year, so extra time off or a shorter week is reflected rather than ignored.

Currency neutral

Results are plain numbers to two decimals with no currency symbol, so they read the same in dollars, euros, pounds, or anything else.

Free with no signup

About this tool

This calculator turns an annual salary into an hourly rate, then shows what the same pay works out to per day, per week, every two weeks, and per month. Enter the salary and your working pattern, hours per week, days per week, and weeks worked per year, and every figure updates as you type. There is no button to press and nothing to submit.

The hourly rate is the salary divided by the total hours you work in a year, so a shorter week or extra weeks off both change the number, not just the headline salary. The weekly figure is the salary spread across the weeks you actually work, the daily figure divides that week across your working days, and the monthly figure is the year split into twelve. Use it to compare a salaried offer against a contract hourly rate, to price freelance work from a target income, or to check that a quoted wage matches the salary you had in mind. To turn a raise into a percentage, pair it with the percentage calculator, and to count how many working days a year actually holds, the business days calculator helps.

Everything is calculated on the page in plain numbers, so the results read the same whether you think in dollars, euros, or pounds. Nothing you enter is uploaded, stored, or shared.

Frequently asked questions

How is the hourly rate calculated?
The salary is divided by the total hours you work in a year, which is hours per week multiplied by weeks worked per year. With the standard 40 hours and 52 weeks that is 2,080 hours, so a 60,000 salary becomes about 28.85 per hour.
What if I do not work a standard 40-hour week?
Change the hours per week, days per week, and weeks per year to match your real schedule. A shorter week raises the hourly rate for the same salary, and taking more weeks off does the same, because you earn the salary over fewer hours.
What does biweekly mean here?
Biweekly is two weeks of pay, equal to the weekly figure doubled. It is the amount you would receive on a fortnightly pay cycle, while the monthly figure is the annual salary divided by twelve.
Which currency does it use?
None in particular. The calculator works with plain numbers to two decimal places, so every result reads the same whatever currency you have in mind.
Is my salary uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is sent to a server. The salary and schedule you type are never uploaded, stored, or logged.
Can I convert an hourly rate back to a salary?
Yes, indirectly. Multiply the hourly rate by your hours per week and weeks per year to get the annual salary, or type different salaries here until the hourly figure matches the rate you want.
