About this salary converter

This salary converter turns any single pay rate into every other pay period at once — hourly, daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly and annual — using a schedule you control rather than fixed assumptions.

The maths is simple but easy to get wrong by hand. Everything is converted to an annual figure first (hours/day × days/week × 52 weeks for an hourly rate), then divided back out into each period. People use it to:

Everything runs locally in your browser — your pay figures are never sent to a server, stored, or tracked. Refresh the page and nothing is kept.

How to use
  1. Enter any pay amount in the amount field — the dollar sign is added automatically. Quick presets are available for common rates like $25/hr or $80k/yr.
  2. Pick the period that matches your input from the dropdown: per hour, day, week, fortnight, month or year.
  3. Set hours per day and days per week to match your actual schedule. The defaults are 8 hours/day and 5 days/week (a standard 40-hour week).
  4. Read the full conversion table on the right — every period recalculates instantly from your input as you type.
  5. Click the copy icon beside any row to put that exact value (to two decimal places) on your clipboard.
FAQ

Multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours you work per year. With the default 8 hours/day and 5 days/week, that's 8 × 5 × 52 = 2,080 hours per year, so $50/hour equals $104,000 a year. Annual to hourly is the reverse: divide the salary by 2,080.

By default it assumes 8 hours/day, 5 days/week (a 40-hour week) and a full 52 weeks per year. The 52-week basis is fixed, but you can change the hours-per-day and days-per-week fields to match a 37.5-hour week, a 4-day week, or any other schedule.

Both. Each period shows the gross figure plus an after-tax (take-home) estimate based on the country you pick, using that country's 2024–25 income-tax brackets and tax-free allowance. Note this covers income tax only — it excludes national insurance, social security, Medicare, superannuation and other contributions. For a full breakdown of all payroll deductions, use the Payroll Calculator.

It uses a full 52 weeks, so it does not deduct unpaid time off. For salaried roles that's usually correct, since paid leave is already included. If you want to model only weeks actually worked, lower the days-per-week value to reflect your real average.

Set the hours-per-day and days-per-week to match your real hours — for example 6 hours/day across 3 days/week. The hourly and daily figures stay the same, but the weekly, monthly and annual totals scale down to reflect the reduced hours you actually work.

Convert both offers to the same period. Enter the first offer (say, an annual salary) and note its hourly figure, then enter the second (perhaps an hourly contract rate) using the same hours/day and days/week. Comparing like-for-like reveals which actually pays more per hour worked.

Monthly = annual ÷ 12. Fortnightly (bi-weekly) = annual ÷ 26. Because there are 26 fortnights in a year (not 24), two months each contain three fortnightly pays. Each monthly payment is therefore slightly larger than two fortnightly payments combined.
