How this calculator works
Converting an hourly rate to an annual salary is simple multiplication, but the "weeks per year" figure trips people up — 52 weeks assumes you're paid for every week including annual leave (typical for a salaried equivalent), while some people prefer to use fewer weeks to account for unpaid leave or irregular work.
Enter your hourly rate, your usual hours per week, and how many weeks a year you're actually paid for. The calculator multiplies these out to a weekly figure, then scales that up to fortnightly, monthly and annual equivalents.
Worked example: $35 an hour, 38 hours a week, 52 weeks a year comes to $1,330 a week, $2,660 a fortnight, $5,763.33 a month, and $69,160 a year.
To go the other way — from an annual salary back to an hourly rate — divide the annual figure by (hours per week × weeks per year). For the example above, $69,160 ÷ (38 × 52) gets you back to $35 an hour. This calculator doesn't account for penalty rates, overtime, or casual loading, which can significantly change your effective hourly earnings on top of the base rate.
Frequently asked questions
- Should I use 52 weeks or fewer?
- Use 52 if you want the salaried-equivalent figure (as if paid every week including leave). Use fewer weeks (e.g. 48) if you want to reflect unpaid leave, seasonal work, or time not actually worked or paid.
- Does this include superannuation?
- No — this is your base pay only. Superannuation guarantee is paid on top of ordinary time earnings by your employer and isn't included in this hourly-to-salary conversion.
- What about casual loading or penalty rates?
- Not included — if your hourly rate already includes casual loading (commonly 25% above the equivalent permanent rate) or penalty rates for particular shifts, this calculator just scales up whatever rate you enter as-is.
