Salary/Hourly calculator

Introduction

Understanding how hourly pay translates into monthly and annual income is essential for budgeting, negotiating, and long-term planning. This Salary-to-Hourly tool converts hourly rate, weekly hours, and working weeks per year into clear totals, providing a realistic view of gross earnings. It helps you compare roles, evaluate side gigs, and set savings goals based on consistent assumptions.

With immediate, interpretable outputs, you can decide whether a given rate supports your expenses and targets. The tool is equally useful for employers modeling budgets and for contractors estimating annual income from variable schedules.

Because calculations happen in your browser, the process is quick and private. You can test multiple scenarios—different rates or hours—and instantly see the effect on totals, making it easy to bracket expectations and prioritize offers.
