Salary Calculator
Convert a salary at any pay period into hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly and annual pay.
How the conversion works
This calculator first converts whatever pay period you enter into an annual figure, then derives every other period from that same annual number, so all six figures stay consistent with each other. Hourly and daily rates additionally account for how many hours you actually work per week — useful for part-time or non-standard schedules, where a straight annual-salary-to-hourly conversion based on a 40-hour week would be misleading.
With this calculator's defaults — a £60,000 annual salary at 40 hours per week — the hourly equivalent is £60,000 ÷ 52 weeks ÷ 40 hours ≈ £28.85/hour, and the monthly figure is £60,000 ÷ 12 = £5,000, not simply the weekly figure times 4.33. Every figure shown is a gross amount, before any income tax, national insurance, or pension deductions — for an estimate of what actually lands in your account, see the Income Tax calculator, and if you're comparing an employee salary against self-employed or contract rates, see the Freelance Rate calculator.
Frequently asked questions
- How is the daily rate calculated?
- Using a standard 5-day work week, regardless of how many hours per week you enter.
- What does "hours per week" affect?
- Only the hourly-equivalent figure. Your weekly, biweekly, monthly and annual pay don't change based on hours worked — only how that pay converts to and from an hourly rate.
- Does this account for taxes?
- No — these are gross pay figures before tax, insurance or any other deductions, converted between pay periods using a standard 52-week, 5-day work week.
- Why is my monthly figure not exactly 4x my weekly figure?
- A year has 52 weeks but only 12 months, so months are slightly longer than 4 weeks on average — monthly pay is your annual pay divided by 12, not your weekly pay multiplied by 4.
- Can I use this in my own app?
- Yes — every calculator on Stupidly Clever has a matching REST API and MCP tool that runs the same underlying logic.
- What is the difference between gross and net salary?
- Gross salary is your pay before any deductions — income tax, national insurance (UK), social security (US), pension contributions. Net salary (take-home pay) is what reaches your bank account after all deductions. This calculator shows gross equivalents; use the Income Tax Calculator to estimate the net figure.
- How do I convert an hourly rate to an annual salary?
- Multiply by hours per week, then by weeks worked per year. For a standard full-time role: hourly rate × 40 hours × 52 weeks. If you take 4 weeks' holiday, use 48 weeks. The calculator handles this automatically once you set your weekly hours and hourly rate.
