How much do you actually earn per hour? This calculator converts your gross monthly or annual salary into an hourly rate — and back again. It works with gross figures only and calculates no tax or national insurance. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is stored.

The conversion uses the common convention that three months contain thirteen weeks — so 52 weeks per year. That gives: hourly rate = annual gross ÷ (weekly hours × 52), the same as monthly gross × 3 ÷ (weekly hours × 13). In reverse, the annual salary is hourly rate × weekly hours × 52, and the monthly salary is the annual figure ÷ 12.
The "gross" label only describes your input — no tax or contributions are worked out (that is a deliberately excluded topic). Optionally the calculator shows how many working hours a given purchase price equals: hours = price ÷ hourly rate. Amounts are shown in a currency of your choice (display only).
Hourly rate=Annual gross / (Weekly hours × 52)Annual gross=Hourly rate × Weekly hours × 52Hours for purchase=Price / Hourly rate| Direction | Salary → hourly rate |
|---|---|
| Gross salary | 45,000 per year |
| Weekly hours | 37.5 |
| Purchase | 1,200 |
| Gross hourly rate | €23.08 |
|---|---|
| Monthly salary (gross) | €3,750.00 |
| Annual salary (gross) | €45,000.00 |
| Working hours for the purchase | 52 h |
Annual gross = €45,000.00. Hourly rate = €45,000.00 ÷ (37.5 × 52 hours) = €45,000.00 ÷ 1,950 = €23.08. A €1,200.00 purchase then works out at about 52 working hours. All figures are gross example assumptions.
No. It works with gross figures only and deliberately calculates no tax or contributions. For take-home pay you need a dedicated gross-to-net tool — this calculator has a different, purely arithmetic purpose.
A month averages more than four weeks. The common "13 weeks per quarter" convention gives 52 weeks a year and a fair conversion. Other conventions exist but produce slightly different figures.
