Pay is quoted in many ways. A job advert gives a yearly salary, a contract gives a day rate, a shift job gives an hourly wage and a payslip shows a month. This converter puts all of them on the same footing. Enter an amount, say which period it covers, and set your usual hours and days per week. The tool works out the yearly figure first and then splits it into months, weeks, days and hours. If you add a flat tax percentage, it also shows each figure after that rate. The rate is a number you choose, such as an average rate from last year's tax return. The converter applies no country's tax bands, allowances or social security rules, so the after tax figures are only as good as the percentage you type. It works in 25 currencies and nothing you enter leaves your browser.
How to use the Salary Converter
- Type the pay amount and pick its currency.
- Choose whether that amount is paid per year, month, week, day or hour.
- Set the paid hours in your normal week.
- Add a flat tax percentage if you want after tax figures as well. Tip: Open the settings to change the working days per week or the number of paid weeks in a year.
- Read the yearly, monthly, weekly, daily and hourly pay in the table, and copy or download it as CSV.
Worked example
A job advert offers USD 52,000 a year for a 37.5 hour, 5 day week. The applicant sets aside 20% as a rough tax rate of their own.
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Pay amount | USD 52,000.00 per year |
| Hours per week | 37.5 |
| Days per week | 5 |
| Paid weeks per year | 52 |
| Flat tax rate | 20% |
Paid hours in a year = 37.5 x 52 = 1,950 Hourly pay = 52,000 / 1,950 = USD 26.67 Daily pay = 26.6667 x (37.5 / 5) = USD 200.00 Weekly pay = 52,000 / 52 = USD 1,000.00 Monthly pay = 52,000 / 12 = USD 4,333.33 Tax for the year = 52,000 x 20% = USD 10,400.00 Yearly pay after tax = 52,000 x 80% = USD 41,600.00 Monthly pay after tax = 4,333.333 x 80% = USD 3,466.67
- Hourly pay before tax
- USD 26.67
- Monthly pay before tax
- USD 4,333.33
- Weekly pay before tax
- USD 1,000.00
- Daily pay before tax
- USD 200.00
- Tax for the year at 20%
- USD 10,400.00
- Yearly pay after tax
- USD 41,600.00
- Monthly pay after tax
- USD 3,466.67
The 20% here is the applicant's own estimate, not a tax rate of any country. Each figure is rounded once from the exact yearly amount, so the monthly tax of 866.67 and the monthly take home of 3,466.67 come to one cent more than 4,333.33.
How it is calculated
Yearly pay = amount x 1 (year), x 12 (month), x paid weeks (week), x days per week x paid weeks (day), or x hours per week x paid weeks (hour)
Hourly pay = yearly pay / (hours per week x paid weeks)
Daily pay = hourly pay x (hours per week / days per week)
Weekly pay = yearly pay / paid weeks
Monthly pay = yearly pay / 12
Tax = pay x your rate; pay after tax = pay x (1 - your rate)
Every conversion passes through one number: the yearly pay. Whatever period you start from, the converter scales the amount up to a full year, using 12 months, your paid weeks, your days per week and your hours per week as needed. From that yearly figure it then works out each of the other periods, so a monthly salary and the hourly wage it implies always describe the same total.
A month is always a twelfth of the year, even though months differ in length. A week is the yearly pay divided by the paid weeks, so lowering the paid weeks raises the weekly figure while the year stays fixed. The hourly figure divides the year by the paid hours in it, and the daily figure is the hourly figure times the length of an average working day, which is your weekly hours divided by your working days.
When you start from an hourly rate, the converter keeps that rate exactly as typed and multiplies it out. A rate that was itself rounded, such as 26.67 instead of 26.6667, therefore gives a yearly figure a few units higher than the salary it came from. Starting from the salary avoids that drift.
The tax step is deliberately simple. You type one percentage, and the converter takes that share off each line, and nothing else. Real income tax in most countries rises in bands, starts after an allowance and sits next to other deductions such as social security, pension contributions or student loan repayments. None of that is modeled here, so the after tax lines are an estimate built on your own figure. For pay in the UK, the UK salary tools apply the published income tax bands, National Insurance and student loan rules instead of one flat rate.
Each figure, before tax, tax and after tax for every period, is worked out from the exact yearly amount and rounded half up to the smallest unit of the currency once. No figure is built from another rounded figure. That keeps every line as accurate as it can be, and it is why two rounded lines on the same row can differ by a cent from the third.
Frequently asked questions
How is a monthly salary turned into an hourly wage?
The converter first multiplies the monthly figure by 12 to get a year. It then divides that year by your hours per week times your paid weeks. A monthly salary of 4,333.33 at 37.5 hours a week and 52 weeks gives about 52,000 a year and 26.67 an hour. Changing the hours or the paid weeks changes the hourly figure, while the yearly amount stays the same.
Does this converter know the tax rules where I live?
No. It takes one flat percentage that you type and removes it from every line. Real income tax is usually charged in bands, with allowances and other deductions such as social security, so a single rate is only an estimate. A tax office, a payslip or an accountant can give the figures that apply to you. PayCalculus is adding a UK pack that follows the published UK rules.
What tax percentage can I enter here?
Any rate from 0 to 100, with up to two decimals. Some people use the share of last year's pay that went on tax, which they can work out from an annual tax statement or a payslip with year to date totals. Others type 0 to see gross pay only. The tool does not check the rate against any law, so the result reflects exactly the number entered.
Why do the monthly tax and take home not add up to the monthly pay?
Every figure is worked out from the exact yearly amount and rounded to the cent on its own. With 52,000 a year and a 20% rate, monthly pay is 4,333.333, shown as 4,333.33. Tax is 866.667, shown as 866.67, and take home is 3,466.667, shown as 3,466.67. Rounding each line once keeps every figure as close to the truth as possible, at the cost of a cent here and there.
What do paid weeks per year change?
They set how many weeks the yearly pay is spread over. The default of 52 suits a salary that keeps paying through holidays. A worker paid only for the weeks they work, such as a contractor taking six weeks off, can set 46. The yearly figure stays fixed, while the weekly, daily and hourly figures rise, because the same money covers fewer weeks.
