Hourly to Salary Calculator
Converting an hourly wage to a salary makes it easy to compare a contract or part-time role with a salaried offer. This calculator multiplies your hourly rate by your weekly hours and working weeks to give weekly, monthly, and annual pay. All figures are gross, before tax, and work in any currency.

At 25 per hour for 40 hours a week across 52 weeks, that is about 52,000 a year — roughly 4,333 a month, before tax.
How it works
The conversion has two levers most people forget: hours per week and weeks per year. A common shortcut assumes 40 hours over 52 weeks — 2,080 hours — but few people actually work all 52 weeks. If you take unpaid leave, work seasonally, or freelance with gaps, lowering the weeks-per-year figure gives a far more honest annual number.
The monthly figure is the annual divided by twelve, not the weekly multiplied by four. There are about 4.33 weeks in a month, so multiplying weekly pay by four understates your monthly income by roughly 8%. Dividing the annual by twelve avoids that trap.
Every figure here is gross — your pay before income tax, retirement contributions, insurance, or any other deduction. Take-home pay is always lower. Use the currency switcher to view the numbers in your own currency.
Weekly = hourly rate × hours per week. Annual = weekly × weeks per year. Monthly = annual ÷ 12.
Worked example
Take 25 per hour, 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year. Weekly pay is 25 × 40 = 1,000. Annual pay is 1,000 × 52 = 52,000. Monthly pay is 52,000 ÷ 12 ≈ 4,333. Note that 4,333 is more than 1,000 × 4 (4,000), because a month is about 4.33 weeks, not exactly four.
Things to watch out for
If you are paid for overtime at a higher rate, this flat conversion will understate your earnings — add overtime separately. Salaried roles often bundle paid holiday, sick leave, and benefits that an hourly rate does not, so an equal headline number is not an equal offer. To go the other way, from salary to hourly, divide the annual salary by your total hours worked in the year.
Frequently asked questions
Is the result before or after tax?+
Before tax. Every figure is gross pay. Income tax, retirement contributions, and insurance are deducted afterward, so your take-home will be lower.
Why use 52 weeks?+
Fifty-two weeks assumes you work every week of the year. If you take unpaid leave or work seasonally, lower the weeks-per-year figure for a more realistic annual total.
Why isn’t monthly pay just weekly pay times four?+
Because a month averages about 4.33 weeks, not four. Multiplying by four undercounts by roughly 8%, so this tool divides the annual figure by twelve instead.
Can I use this for any currency?+
Yes — it is straight multiplication, so it works in any currency. Use the switcher at the top to display your pay in yours.
