How this salary calculator works

It annualizes whatever you earn, then divides that across every pay period.

  • Annual = your amount × the number of those periods in a year.
  • Hourly = annual ÷ (working weeks × hours per week).
  • Weekly / monthly = annual ÷ 52 or ÷ 12.

Changing your working weeks or hours per week adjusts the hourly figure.
