How to Use the Wage Calculator
Enter any one wage value — hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly — and the other four fields fill in instantly. To match your exact schedule, adjust the Hours per day and Days per week settings below the wage fields (defaults: 8 hours/day, 5 days/week).
All conversions use hourly wage as the base. Let H = hours per day and D = days per week.
| From \ To | Hourly | Daily | Weekly | Monthly | Yearly |
|---|
| Hourly (h) | — | h × H | h × H × D | h × H × D × 52 / 12 | h × H × D × 52 |
| Daily (d) | d / H | — | d × D | d × D × 52 / 12 | d × D × 52 |
| Weekly (w) | w / (H × D) | w / D | — | w × 52 / 12 | w × 52 |
| Monthly (m) | m × 12 / (52 × H × D) | m × 12 / (52 × D) | m × 12 / 52 | — | m × 12 |
| Yearly (y) | y / (52 × H × D) | y / (52 × D) | y / 52 | y / 12 | — |
Example: $25/hr to Annual Salary
Using default schedule (8 h/day, 5 days/week):
- Hourly: $25.00
- Daily: $25 × 8 = $200
- Weekly: $25 × 8 × 5 = $1,000
- Monthly: $25 × 8 × 5 × 52 / 12 ≈ $4,333.33
- Yearly: $25 × 8 × 5 × 52 = $52,000
About the Working Schedule Settings
The default 40-hour, 5-day week applies to most full-time employees. Adjust these for:
- Part-time work — e.g., 4 hours/day or 3 days/week
- Freelance / contract — bill rates often quoted per hour; adjust to match actual hours worked
- Compressed schedules — e.g., 10 h/day, 4 days/week (same yearly total)
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per day, then by the number of days per week, then by 52 weeks. With the standard 8-hour day and 5-day week: Annual salary = Hourly rate × 8 × 5 × 52. For example, $25/hr × 8 × 5 × 52 = $52,000/year.
How many working hours are in a year?
With a standard 8-hour day and 5-day week, a year contains 8 × 5 × 52 = 2,080 working hours. If your schedule differs, adjust the hours per day and days per week settings in the calculator.
How do I convert a monthly salary to an hourly rate?
Divide your monthly salary by the average number of working hours in a month. With standard 8h/day and 5-day weeks: hours per month = 8 × 5 × 52 / 12 ≈ 173.33. So hourly = monthly salary ÷ 173.33. For example, $4,333/month ÷ 173.33 ≈ $25/hr.
How many weeks are in a year for payroll purposes?
Payroll calculations use exactly 52 weeks per year. This is a standard convention — it gives 364 days, not 365, but the difference is small enough to be ignored for most pay calculations.
What is the difference between gross and net wage?
Gross wage is the amount before any deductions — taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and other withholdings. Net wage (take-home pay) is what you actually receive after those deductions. This calculator works with gross wages. To estimate net pay, consult a payroll calculator that accounts for your specific tax situation.
