Hourly to Salary Calculator — Global

Understanding hourly to salary conversion

Converting hourly pay to an annual salary is straightforward: multiply your hourly wage by the hours you work each week, then multiply by the number of working weeks per year. This gives you a clear top-line figure to compare roles, plan budgets, and negotiate offers across countries and industries.

Note: This tool estimates gross salary by default. If you add optional tax and deduction rates, it will display an estimated net salary and a visual breakdown. Actual results vary by location, employer benefits, and individual tax circumstances.

Key components of your salary

• Hourly wage: Your base pay rate for each hour worked.
• Hours per week: Total weekly hours, including typical overtime if it is regular and predictable.
• Weeks per year: Working weeks after accounting for holidays and unpaid time off.

Why this matters for students and professionals

• Budget clarity: Translate part-time or hourly work into monthly and annual numbers for realistic planning.
• Offer comparison: Evaluate roles across countries or contract types on a consistent basis.
• Negotiation prep: Set target hourly or annual figures aligned with your market and workload.

Practical tips

• Use averages: If your hours vary, average the past 8–12 weeks for a truer projection.
• Consider paid time off: If PTO is paid, keep weeks at 52; if not, reduce your working weeks accordingly.
• Model scenarios: Try conservative, typical, and optimistic hours to see the range of outcomes.
