How it works?

This calculator converts between annual salary, monthly salary and hourly rate in all directions. The core formula is: Annual = Hourly × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year. A standard full-time job uses 40 h/week × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours per year.

The Monthly to hourly and Hourly to monthly tabs use the chosen month’s actual working time: Monday to Friday minus the chosen country’s public holidays. In Estonia the working day before New Year, Independence Day, Victory Day and Christmas Eve is 3 hours shorter; in Latvia and Lithuania a working day before a public holiday is 1 hour shorter (not for part-time employees there). For example, December 2026 in Estonia has 21 working days and 162 working hours, so a monthly salary of 2,000 euros is 12.35 euros an hour. For Germany the nationwide holidays are counted; the holidays of individual states are listed next to the result. If holiday data is unavailable, every day from Monday to Friday is counted and the result says so. You can also enter the number of working days yourself.

All figures are gross - before income tax, social contributions, or any other deductions.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert an annual salary to an hourly rate?

Divide your annual salary by the total hours worked per year (hours per week × weeks per year). For a standard full-time job - 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year - that's 2,080 hours. So a $50,000 salary works out to $50,000 ÷ 2,080 = $24.04 per hour.

Why does my effective hourly rate feel lower than calculated?

This calculator counts only your scheduled paid working hours. If you regularly work unpaid overtime, factor in commuting, or spend time on work-related tasks outside office hours, your real effective hourly rate is lower. The figures are also gross - once you deduct income tax and social contributions, your net hourly take-home is significantly less.

How many working weeks should I use?

For a salaried employee with paid holidays, use 52 - your employer pays you for every week of the year regardless. If you are self-employed or take unpaid leave, subtract those weeks. For example, 4 weeks of unpaid leave leaves 48 working weeks. The difference in your calculated hourly rate can be surprisingly large.

Does this calculator account for taxes?

No - all figures are gross (pre-tax). Your net take-home pay depends on your country's income tax bands, social insurance contributions, pension deductions, and other withholdings. For accurate net pay, consult your country's official tax calculator or your payslip.

I work part-time. How do I use this calculator?

Simply adjust the 'Hours per Week' field to your actual part-time hours - for example 20 hours instead of 40. The calculator will then compute your annual equivalent salary or hourly rate based on those hours. Weeks per year can also be adjusted if your part-time arrangement includes unpaid periods.
