How to use the salary calculator
Enter an amount, tell the calculator what period it covers, and set your hours per week, days per week, and weeks worked per year. It converts your pay into hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and annual figures all at once, so you can compare jobs quoted on different bases.
Comparing offers fairly
Job offers rarely use the same units: one is quoted per hour, another as a monthly figure, a third as an annual package. Converting everything to a single basis is the only way to compare them honestly. The number of weeks you actually work is the detail people most often forget — a role with more unpaid time off is worth less per year at the same hourly rate, and this tool makes that trade-off visible.
Gross versus take-home
The figures here are gross pay, before any tax or deductions. Net pay varies so much by country and personal circumstances that a single formula cannot capture it, so this calculator deliberately stays on the gross side for clean, comparable numbers. When budgeting, remember your actual take-home will be lower. All calculations happen in your browser and nothing is stored.
