Salary Converter

How to use it

Enter your pay and choose the period it is quoted for.
Adjust hours per week, days per week and paid weeks per year to your job. The defaults are a 40-hour, 5-day week and 52 paid weeks.
Leave salary payments per year at 12 unless you are paid in more instalments, for example 13 or 14.
Read your pay per year, month, week, day and hour.

Everything is converted through the yearly amount:

year = hourly × hours per week × weeks per year
week = year ÷ weeks per year, day = week ÷ days per week, hour = week ÷ hours per week
month = year ÷ payments per year

At 25 an hour, 40 hours a week and 52 weeks, you earn 1,000 a week, 52,000 a year and 4,333.33 a month; a day is 200.

A salary of 3,000 a month is 36,000 a year, 692.31 a week and 17.31 an hour.

Overtime, bonuses and shift premiums are not included; add them to the yearly amount if they are regular.
When you compare jobs, compare paid hours: a 37.5-hour week at the same salary pays more per hour than a 40-hour week.

How do I convert an hourly wage to a yearly salary?

Multiply the hourly rate by hours per week and by weeks per year. 25 an hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = 52,000 a year.

How do I convert a yearly salary to an hourly rate?

Divide by weeks per year and then by hours per week. 60,000 ÷ 52 ÷ 40 = 28.85 an hour.

Why is a month not four weeks?

A year has 52 weeks and 12 months, so a month averages 52 ÷ 12 = 4.33 weeks. Using 4 weeks understates monthly pay by about 8%.

Is this before or after tax?

Before. The converter changes the period only; income tax, social security and other deductions depend on where you live and are not included.

What if I am not paid for holidays?

Lower the paid weeks per year. Someone paid hourly who takes 4 unpaid weeks off works 48 paid weeks.
