About the Wage Calculator
Wages are quoted in all sorts of ways — an hourly rate for one job, a monthly figure for another, an annual salary for a third — which makes comparing offers or planning a budget unexpectedly awkward. A wage calculator fixes that by converting any single figure into every other pay period: give it your hourly rate and it shows the weekly, monthly and yearly equivalents, and vice versa.
This is especially useful when you are weighing up jobs that advertise pay differently, or working out whether an hourly contract really pays more than a salaried role once you account for the hours involved. By putting every offer on the same annual or monthly basis, you can compare like with like instead of guessing. It is equally handy for everyday budgeting, when you need to know what an hourly wage adds up to over a month.
Enter your figure, set how many hours and weeks you work, and read off the equivalents instantly. The calculation runs entirely in your browser, so none of your pay details are stored or sent anywhere.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per week, then by the number of weeks you work per year (commonly 52). For example, £15/hour at 40 hours over 52 weeks is £31,200 a year. The calculator does this for you and also shows weekly and monthly equivalents.
How do I work out my hourly rate from a salary?
Divide your annual salary by the number of weeks you work, then by your weekly hours. The calculator reverses the conversion automatically — enter a yearly or monthly figure and it shows the equivalent hourly rate.
Does this wage calculator deduct tax?
This tool converts a wage between pay periods (hourly, weekly, monthly, annual) on a gross basis; it does not estimate tax deductions. For take-home pay after tax, use a dedicated country-specific paycheck or income-tax calculator.
Understanding Wage Conversions
How the pay periods relate
Every wage figure is the same earnings sliced over a different period. An hourly rate becomes a weekly wage when multiplied by hours worked, a weekly wage becomes annual when multiplied by the weeks you work, and an annual salary divides back down to monthly. The links depend on two assumptions — your hours per week and weeks per year — so setting those realistically is what makes the conversions match your real pay.
Gross versus net pay
This calculator works in gross pay — earnings before deductions. Your take-home (net) pay is lower once income tax, social security or national insurance, pension contributions and any other deductions come out, and those depend on your country and circumstances. Converting gross figures is the right way to compare offers on a like-for-like basis; estimate net separately with a paycheck calculator for your region when you need the amount that lands in your account.
Comparing job offers fairly
Roles often advertise pay differently — one hourly, one salaried — and the headline numbers can mislead. An hourly job paying more per hour can earn less over a year if it offers fewer hours, while a salary spread over long hours can work out to a modest hourly rate. Converting every offer to the same period strips away the framing so you can compare the actual earnings, then weigh benefits, hours and security on top.
