Salary Converter: Hourly, Monthly and Yearly
Enter the amount, the period and hours per week to convert between hourly, monthly and yearly.
Useful for comparing an 'hourly' offer with a 'monthly' one, or understanding what a monthly salary really adds up to per year — the conversion uses the real average of weeks per month (52 weeks ÷ 12 months), not a fixed 4-week month, which would underestimate the value.
Common full-time standard: 40 hours per week (varies by role and country).
Pure mathematical conversion based on the weekly hours entered — it doesn't account for bonuses, paid time off, benefits or deductions, which change the actual net amount received.
Frequently asked questions
Why not just divide the monthly amount by 4 weeks?
Because a month averages 4.33 weeks (52 weeks ÷ 12 months), not exactly 4. Using a fixed 4 weeks underestimates the monthly value by almost 8%.
Does this include bonuses and paid time off?
No. It's a pure mathematical conversion between the three periods, without accounting for benefits, bonuses, paid time off or tax deductions — which change the actual net amount received.
Can this compare a salaried job offer with a contractor rate?
It works as a first comparison of gross value per period, but for a complete comparison (with taxes and benefits factored in), it's worth using a dedicated employee-vs-contractor calculator.
