💼 Salary Calculator

What this salary calculator does

Enter a pay figure for a year, month, week, day or hour, plus your normal hours per week and days per week. The calculator converts it to the same pay expressed as an hourly, daily, weekly, two-weekly, monthly and yearly amount, so you can compare an annual salary with an hourly rate. All figures are gross, meaning before tax and other deductions. The sums run in your browser and nothing you type is sent anywhere.

How it is calculated

Everything is first converted to a yearly amount, assuming 52 paid weeks in a year:

• From a yearly figure: used as is.
• From monthly: × 12. From weekly: × 52.
• From daily: × (days per week × 52). From hourly: × (hours per week × 52).

The yearly amount is then divided back out: hourly = yearly ÷ (hours per week × 52), daily = yearly ÷ (days per week × 52), weekly = yearly ÷ 52, two-weekly = yearly ÷ 26 and monthly = yearly ÷ 12.

Worked examples

• $60,000 a year, 40 hours over 5 days. Hourly $28.85 (60,000 ÷ 2,080), daily $230.77, weekly $1,153.85, two-weekly $2,307.69, monthly $5,000.00.
• $25 an hour, 40 hours a week. Weekly $1,000, monthly $4,333.33, yearly $52,000.
• Part-time: $20 an hour, 25 hours over 4 days. Weekly $500, monthly $2,166.67, yearly $26,000, and $125.00 per working day.

What it does not include

• Unpaid time off. The calculator assumes you are paid for all 52 weeks. If you are a contractor or hourly worker with 4 unpaid weeks a year, $25 an hour at 40 hours is $48,000 for 48 weeks, not $52,000, about 7.7% less. Reduce your hours or compare using only the weeks you expect to work.
• Overtime, bonuses and commission are not included.
• Tax and deductions. Take-home pay depends on your country and circumstances. At the time of writing the UAE does not charge personal income tax on employment income, but rules change and other countries do tax it, so check the current rules for where you work.
• Benefits. When comparing a salaried job with contract work, remember that employees often get paid leave, health cover, a pension or end-of-service gratuity, and contractors usually do not. In the UAE, the gratuity calculator estimates the end-of-service payment.
• Currency. The labels show dollars, but the arithmetic works in any currency.
