Salary Conversion
This calculator converts your pay between different frequencies. It assumes a standard work schedule based on the hours per week and weeks per year you specify. Adjust these for part-time work, unpaid vacation, or overtime.
Decimals are fully supported — enter an hourly wage like $25.75, or a 37.5-hour work week (the standard full-time schedule at many Canadian employers), and the conversion stays exact to the cent.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by hours worked per week, then by 52 weeks. At $25/hour and 40 hours a week, that's 25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 per year.
How many working hours are in a year?
A standard full-time schedule of 40 hours per week works out to 2,080 hours per year (40 × 52). Actual paid hours are lower after vacation and holidays.
Is this before or after tax?
All figures here are gross (before tax). Take-home pay depends on your province or state, tax credits, and deductions like CPP/EI or 401(k) contributions.
What is the difference between a salary and a wage?
A salary is a fixed annual amount regardless of hours, while a wage is paid per hour worked. Hourly workers are typically eligible for overtime pay; salaried workers often are not.
