Convert salary between hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and annual amounts with clearly stated assumptions.

Fields marked with * are required.

Enter the salary value in the unit selected below.
Salary unit
Between 1 and 7, usually 5.
Between 1 and 24, usually 8.
Between 1 and 52, usually 52.
Optional; these days are deducted from the annual working days.

Convert your salary between units (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, annual) with the underlying assumptions shown clearly, such as working days, hours per day and paid weeks.

Formula

Annual salary = amount × unit factor (monthly × 12, weekly × paid weeks, daily × working days, hourly × hours per day × days per week × paid weeks). Then: hourly rate = (annual salary − unpaid-day deduction) ÷ (annual working days × hours per day).

When is this useful?

Useful when comparing job offers quoted in different units, or when converting a monthly salary to an hourly rate to evaluate side projects or freelance work.

Worked example

Monthly salary: 1,200 currency units
Working pattern: 5 days × 8 hours = 260 working days per year
Annual salary = 1,200 × 12 = 14,400
Hourly rate ≈ 6.92, daily rate ≈ 55.38
Annual salary after deductions: 14,400

Assumptions

  • 12 months and 52 weeks per year.
  • Working days and hours per day are constant throughout the year.
  • Paid leave does not reduce the annual salary.
  • Taxes, retirement contributions, insurance and public holidays are not included.
  • Results are estimates and depend on your inputs and local rules.

Common mistakes

  • Using net salary instead of gross salary.
  • Assuming 40 working hours per week without checking.
  • Entering paid weeks or leave days inaccurately.
  • Ignoring the difference between working days and public holidays when planning income.

Frequently asked questions

Is the result the net income?

No. The result reflects whatever amount you enter: if you enter gross salary you get gross figures, and if you enter net salary you get net figures.

Why do I need to specify working days and hours per day?

Because converting to an hourly or daily rate requires knowing the actual working hours, and these numbers differ from job to job.

Are taxes and contributions included?

No. This converter works directly on the amount you enter. Consider taxes, contributions and local regulations when planning your finances.

What are unpaid leave days?

Days an employee does not get paid for. They are deducted from the annual working days before calculating daily and hourly rates.

Methodology and review

The converter normalises your amount to an annual salary, then divides it across the time units you provide, deducting unpaid leave days. This page is reviewed periodically for clarity, and results depend on your local laws and income source, so confirm final figures with your employer or the relevant authorities.

This result is an estimate for information purposes only and is not financial or legal advice. Verify applicable local figures and regulations before making any decision.
