How this works in your browser
Whatever you enter is normalised into a single annual figure using your stated hours per week and a 52-week year, then divided back out into each period. Routing everything through one canonical value keeps the conversions consistent in both directions, so entering an hourly rate and entering the equivalent salary produce matching results rather than drifting apart through rounding. The hours-per-week input is what makes the hourly figure meaningful at all, since an annual salary says nothing about hourly value without it. All figures are gross, and everything is computed locally with nothing transmitted.

Frequently asked questions
Does this account for taxes?
No, all figures are gross (pre-tax) estimates based on the amount you enter.
How does it handle overtime?
It assumes a consistent number of hours per week as entered - it does not apply special overtime rates.
What if I only work part of the year?
The calculation assumes 52 working weeks per year; for a different work schedule, adjust the hours-per-week figure or use the weekly/monthly figures directly.
How do I compare a salaried offer with contract work?
Do not compare the headline figures, because they are not equivalent. A salaried role includes paid holiday, sick leave, employer pension contributions and often insurance, none of which a contract rate carries. Contractors commonly need a substantially higher hourly rate to end up level, and the gap is easy to underestimate.
Why is my monthly pay not the yearly figure divided by twelve?
It usually is, but if you are paid every two weeks you get 26 payments rather than 24, so two months each year contain three pay dates. The annual total is the same; the monthly rhythm is not, which catches people out when budgeting.
Does this show take-home pay?
No. Every figure is gross, before income tax, national insurance or social security, pension contributions and any other deductions. What actually reaches your account is meaningfully lower and depends on your jurisdiction and circumstances.
Are my pay details sent anywhere?
No. The conversion runs in your browser, which matters given salary is something most people would rather not type into an unknown service.
