Salary conversions made simple

This tool converts a salary between yearly, monthly, weekly, and hourly amounts, and applies your estimated overall tax rate to show take-home pay at each level. It's handy for comparing a salaried offer against contract work, checking what a raise means per month, or budgeting from an hourly wage.

Worked example

On a 60,000 annual salary with a 40-hour week: gross monthly pay is 5,000 and the hourly equivalent is about 28.85. With a 20% effective tax rate, take-home is about 48,000 a year, or 4,000 a month — the number that matters for rent and budgeting.

Estimating your tax rate

Your effective rate is usually far below your top bracket because lower bands and allowances apply first. Estimate the income-tax portion precisely with our Income Tax calculator, then add your country's social contributions to get the total rate to use here.

Frequently asked questions

+How do I convert an annual salary to an hourly rate?

Divide the annual salary by working weeks per year, then by hours per week. On 60,000 a year at 40 hours and 52 weeks, that's 60,000 ÷ 52 ÷ 40 ≈ 28.85 per hour.

+What tax rate should I enter?

Use your effective (average) rate — total deductions divided by gross pay — not your top marginal bracket. It should include income tax plus social security or national insurance. Our Income Tax calculator can estimate the income-tax part from your local brackets.

+Why is my real payslip different from this estimate?

Payslips include country-specific items this simple tool doesn't model: pension contributions, health insurance, benefits, tax credits, and payroll timing. Treat this as a close estimate for planning and negotiation, not an exact payroll figure.

+Is a monthly salary just the annual amount divided by 12?

For salaried employees, usually yes. But some countries pay 13th- or 14th-month bonuses, and weekly or biweekly payrolls produce months with extra paydays — so your bank account may see a slightly different rhythm than a flat one-twelfth.
