What is an Hourly to Salary Calculator?
Our Hourly to Salary Calculator helps you figure out exactly how much you make in a year based on your hourly pay rate. Instead of trying to guess your weekly, monthly, and yearly paycheck, this simple tool does the math for you.
How to use the Hourly to Salary Calculator
You can find out how much you earn over time by following these quick steps:
- Select your Currency: Choose the currency you use for work from the dropdown menu (e.g., USD, EUR, or GBP).
- Define your Hourly Rate: Enter how much you make per hour.
- Set Shift Length: Type in how many hours you work in an average day.
- Define Days Per Week: Enter the number of days you work each week.
- Calculate Results: Click the calculate button. The tool will show you your weekly, monthly, and yearly income instantly.
Why use this tool?
When you get a job offer, employers will sometimes only give you an hourly rate. If you want to know if that job pays the bills, you need to know how much you will make in a year. Our tool tells you exactly what that looks like so you can decide if the job is right for you, or if you need to negotiate for higher pay.
This calculator also protects your privacy. Instead of sending your salary details to a server, everything is calculated privately on your own device.
Features
- 100% Private: Your salary details stay on your device and are never sent to a server.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does unpaid time off affect my salary?
This calculator assumes you work 52 full weeks a year. If you take 3 weeks of unpaid vacation, simply multiply your "Weekly Salary" result by 49 instead of 52 for an accurate yearly number.
Is it better to be paid hourly or salary?
It depends on your job. If you work many long shifts, being paid hourly with overtime can earn you more money. A salary is better if you want a predictable paycheck and better company benefits.
What is a standard working week?
In the United States, a standard work week is 40 hours—usually 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. In some other parts of the world, 35 or 32 hours is standard.
Does this calculator include taxes?
No. The results are your gross income (before taxes). To find your actual take-home pay, you will need to subtract income tax, insurance costs, and other deductions.
Can freelancers use this tool?
Yes. Freelancers often use this calculator to figure out what they should charge per hour. Just enter different hourly rates until the annual result matches your income goals.
