About the Salary Calculator
Compare job offers and contracts on equal terms. Enter your pay for any period, set your working hours and days, and see the equivalent hourly, daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly and yearly amounts, both before and after an estimated tax rate and other deductions.
How to use it
- Enter your pay and choose the period it covers (per hour, month, year, …).
- Adjust hours per week and days per week to match your contract.
- Optionally add an estimated tax rate and other deductions.
- Read gross and net pay for every period in the table.
How pay periods convert
Every amount is converted through the yearly figure. A year has 52 weeks, 26 fortnights and 12 months; working days are your days per week × 52, and working hours are your hours per week × 52. So 52,000 a year at 40 hours a week is 1,000 a week, about 4,333.33 a month and 25.00 an hour.
Because a month is on average 4.33 weeks long, multiplying a weekly wage by 4 understates monthly pay by roughly 8%. Use the table rather than mental shortcuts when comparing offers.
Estimating take-home pay
Income tax is usually progressive, so this tool asks for your effective rate — total tax divided by total income — rather than your top bracket. Add pension, social security or insurance deductions as a separate percentage. If you know your payslip figures, divide total deductions by gross pay to get an accurate combined rate.

Comparing job offers
Convert both offers to the same period and the same hours. A contract role paying a high hourly rate with no paid leave can be worth less than a lower salary with 20 days of paid holiday, bonuses and employer pension contributions.
Frequently asked questions
How do you convert an annual salary to an hourly rate?
Divide the annual salary by the number of working hours in a year: hours per week × 52. At 40 hours a week that is 2,080 hours, so 52,000 a year is 25 an hour.
Is the tax figure exact?
No. Tax rules differ by country and are usually progressive, so this tool applies a single effective rate you choose. For Sri Lanka, use the Sri Lanka Salary Calculator, which applies APIT slabs, EPF and ETF.
Does a month have exactly four weeks?
No. A year has 52 weeks, so an average month has 52 ÷ 12 ≈ 4.33 weeks. Monthly figures here use that average.
