About this tool
How to use it
- Enter your annual salary, how many hours you work per week, and how many weeks you actually work per year (52 for a full year, less if you take unpaid leave).
- Read your hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly rate together — they're all derived from the same salary, just at different intervals.
- Enter how many overtime hours you work in a typical week and pick the overtime multiplier (1.5× or 2×) to see the extra pay and your new total annual figure.
- Click Calculate, or just keep typing — everything updates live.
Why it matters
An annual salary alone doesn't tell you what an hour of your time is actually worth, which matters for comparing job offers quoted differently (one hourly, one salaried), estimating freelance or contract rates, or working out whether unpaid overtime is eating into your effective hourly pay more than you'd guessed.
When to use it
Comparing a salaried job offer against an hourly contract role paying a different way. Negotiating pay and wanting to talk in whichever unit (hourly, monthly) the other side is using. Checking what your unpaid overtime is actually costing you in effective hourly terms, or what paid overtime would add to your annual total.
Good to know
The daily rate assumes a standard 5-day work week (weekly rate ÷ 5) regardless of the hours-per-week figure entered — if you work a compressed schedule (e.g. four 10-hour days), the daily rate shown won't match your actual daily pay, since this calculator has no way to know your specific day count. Overtime pay is calculated as (hourly rate × multiplier × overtime hours × weeks worked per year) — a straightforward multiplier model; it doesn't account for jurisdiction-specific overtime rules (which vary by country and by exempt/non-exempt employment status in ways this tool can't determine from a salary figure alone).
Common questions
Why is my daily rate not what I actually get paid per day?
The daily rate here is your weekly rate divided by 5, assuming a standard 5-day work week — it doesn't know your actual schedule. If you work a different number of days per week, divide your weekly rate by your own day count instead.
Why does 'weeks worked per year' matter if I'm salaried?
A salary is normally paid the same every period regardless of hours, but this calculator is answering a different question — what your salary works out to per hour of actual work. If you take unpaid leave, sabbaticals, or work a seasonal schedule, entering fewer than 52 weeks gives a more accurate per-hour figure for the time you actually work.
Does this account for taxes?
No — every figure here is gross pay (before tax and other deductions), matching how salaries and hourly rates are normally quoted when comparing job offers. Use a dedicated take-home-pay calculator for net figures.
Is 1.5x or 2x the correct overtime rate for me?
It depends entirely on your employer's policy or your local labor law — this tool doesn't know which applies to you, which is exactly why both options are offered rather than one being assumed. Check your contract or local regulations for the rate that actually applies.
Does this work for a part-time salary too?
Yes — enter your actual annual salary and actual hours per week; the calculation doesn't assume full-time hours, so a part-time salary and a shorter work week produce a correctly scaled hourly rate.
