Salary Calculator: Convert Your Earnings

Compare job offers and understand your true earning power.

Whether you are negotiating a new contract in New York, looking at a freelance rate in London, or calculating your annual budget in Toronto, understanding your salary in different time increments is vital. Our Salary Calculator quickly converts your pay between hourly, daily, weekly, and annual rates to help you make informed career and lifestyle decisions.

How Salary Conversions Work

Salary calculations are based on the standard work year. For most full-time employees in the US and Canada, this consists of:

• 2,080 hours per year (40 hours per week × 52 weeks).¹
• 26 pay periods (bi-weekly) or 12 pay periods (monthly).

Calculating Hourly to Salary:

To find your annual salary from an hourly rate, the formula is:

Annual = Rate × Hours × 52

Calculating Salary to Hourly:

To find your hourly rate from an annual salary:

Hourly = Annual ÷ (Hours × 52)

Key Factors in Your Calculation

On familyhealthcalc.com, we encourage families to look beyond the base number:

1. Paid vs. Unpaid Time Off: If you are a contractor in the UK, your “daily rate” may seem high, but you must account for the 28 days of statutory leave that a permanent employee would typically be paid for.
2. Overtime: For hourly workers, hours worked over 40 per week are often paid at “Time and a Half” (²$1.5 \times$).³
3. The “Net” vs “Gross” Reality: Remember that this calculator provides Gross Pay (before taxes). To see what you actually keep, use our Income Tax Calculator.
