Salary Calculator
Convert a salary between hourly, weekly, monthly, and annual figures, and estimate net (take-home) pay after taxes and deductions. Enter your pay rate, working hours, and the deduction rates that apply to you.
Salary conversion formulas
Pay-period conversions follow directly from hours worked:
- Annual from hourly:
annual = hourly rate × hours per week × 52 - Monthly from annual:
monthly = annual / 12 - Weekly from annual:
weekly = annual / 52
Net pay subtracts deductions from gross pay:
net = gross − income tax − payroll contributions − other deductions
Gross salary is the amount agreed in your contract before anything is withheld. Net salary is what actually reaches your bank account after income tax, social security or pension contributions, insurance premiums, and any other withholdings.
Worked example
Suppose you earn 25 per hour and work 40 hours per week.
- Weekly gross:
25 × 40 = 1,000 - Annual gross:
1,000 × 52 = 52,000 - Monthly gross:
52,000 / 12 ≈ 4,333
If combined deductions come to, for example, 22% of gross pay, annual net pay is 52,000 × 0.78 = 40,560, or about 3,380 per month. The 22% here is only an illustration; your actual deduction rate depends on where you live, your income level, and your personal circumstances.
When to use this calculator
- Evaluating a job offer, by converting the quoted figure into the period you budget in and estimating the net amount.
- Comparing hourly and salaried roles, where different hours, overtime treatment, and benefits make headline numbers misleading.
- Negotiating a raise, to see what a percentage increase means in monthly take-home terms.
- Planning a move or career change, by testing how different deduction rates change net pay from the same gross salary.
Tips for interpreting the result
- Always compare offers on the same basis: same pay period, and either both gross or both net.
- The 52-week conversion assumes paid leave; if unpaid weeks apply, multiply by the weeks you are actually paid.
- Deductions are usually progressive, so the share of gross pay withheld typically rises as income rises; a flat example rate is a simplification.
- Benefits such as employer pension contributions, health cover, or bonuses can be worth a substantial share of salary but do not appear in net pay.
- Some jurisdictions distinguish the employer's total cost from your gross salary; make sure you know which figure a job advert quotes.

Net-pay figures are estimates based on the rates you enter; confirm actual withholdings with current official tax rates, your payslip, or a payroll professional before relying on them.
