About the Salary Calculator
Is 25 an hour more than 48,000 a year? This salary calculator settles it in one glance. Enter any pay figure, tell it whether that number is per hour, per month or per year, and it converts to all the others — hourly, weekly, monthly and annual — using your working hours per week. An optional tax percentage adds an estimated net annual figure.
It assumes 52 paid weeks and defaults to a 40-hour week, both of which you can see and adjust, so the numbers are transparent rather than a black box. That makes it ideal for comparing job offers quoted in different units, checking a contractor day-rate against a staff salary, or budgeting from a payslip. Free, instant, and nothing you type is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by hours per week, then by 52 weeks: 25 per hour × 40 hours × 52 = 52,000 per year. This calculator applies exactly that formula, and updates every figure instantly if you change the hours-per-week field to match your real schedule.
How many working hours are in a year?
At the standard 40-hour week across 52 weeks, a year contains 2,080 working hours. That divisor is what links annual and hourly pay: a 52,000 salary is 52,000 ÷ 2,080 = 25 per hour. Part-time schedules scale proportionally — 20 hours a week gives 1,040 hours.
How accurate is the net salary estimate?
The tax field applies a single flat percentage, which approximates your overall effective rate. Real payroll involves brackets, allowances, social contributions and deductions that vary by country and situation, so treat the net figure as a rough planning number, not a payslip prediction.
How is monthly pay calculated from an annual salary?
Monthly pay is the annual figure divided by 12. Note that a month is slightly longer than four weeks, so monthly pay is a little more than 4 × weekly pay — 52 weeks spread over 12 months is about 4.33 weeks per month. Both figures are shown so nothing surprises you.
Does it account for overtime, bonuses or unpaid leave?
The conversion assumes a steady rate across 52 paid weeks. To approximate overtime, raise the hours-per-week value; for unpaid leave, reduce it proportionally; and add bonuses to the annual result manually. For irregular income, convert your realistic yearly total instead of a single week's pay.
