How to Use the Wage Converter
Switch between "Hourly → Yearly" and "Yearly → Hourly" to estimate hourly, monthly and yearly income in real time. The hours per day and days per month are editable, so you can match your own work pattern.
- Choose a direction (Hourly → Yearly or Yearly → Hourly).
- Enter the hourly wage or the yearly income.
- Adjust hours per day (default 8) and days per month (default 20) as needed.
- The hourly, monthly and yearly figures appear below. Use "Copy Result" to paste them anywhere.
Conversion is live: results update the moment you type. There is no button to press — every change to the amount, hours per day or days per month recalculates instantly. The assumptions used (hours per day and days per month) are always shown beneath the result, so you can see exactly which conditions produced the figures. The Examples (click to try) chips at the top set both the amount and the assumptions and show a result right away.
Worked example ($20/hr → yearly)
An hourly wage of $20, with the assumption "8 hours per day, 20 days per month", gives a monthly income of 20 × 8 × 20 = $3,200.00 and a yearly income of 3,200 × 12 = $38,400.00. Change the assumption to "6 hours per day, 16 days per month" and the monthly drops to $1,920.00 and the yearly to $23,040.00 — showing how much the same wage varies with the hours worked. Switch the currency to EUR or JPY and the same arithmetic runs with that symbol and rounding.
How It Is Calculated
- Monthly = hourly wage × hours per day × days per month
- Yearly = monthly × 12
- Hourly (from yearly) = yearly ÷ (12 months × days per month × hours per day)
When This Helps
When a part-time listing shows only an hourly rate and you want to know what full-time work adds up to over a year. Or the reverse — turning a stated salary back into an hourly rate to compare with how you work now. These figures are estimates and exclude overtime, bonuses and allowances, so treat them as a rough comparison.
Hourly wage to annual salary table
Assumes 8 hours a day and 20 working days a month (160 hours), in the page's default currency (USD). Monthly pay = hourly × hours × days; annual = monthly × 12. Overtime, bonuses and allowances are not included.
| Hourly (USD) | Monthly (USD) | Annual (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| 15 | 2,400 | 28,800 |
| 18 | 2,880 | 34,560 |
| 20 | 3,200 | 38,400 |
| 22 | 3,520 | 42,240 |
| 25 | 4,000 | 48,000 |
| 28 | 4,480 | 53,760 |
| 30 | 4,800 | 57,600 |
| 35 | 5,600 | 67,200 |
| 40 | 6,400 | 76,800 |
| 50 | 8,000 | 96,000 |
| 60 | 9,600 | 115,200 |
How hours change the annual figure (at $20/hour)
At the same hourly rate, the annual total moves a great deal with the schedule — worth checking when a benefit or coverage threshold depends on hours or annual pay.
| Hours per day | Days per month | Monthly (USD) | Annual (USD) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 8 | 20 | 3,200 | 38,400 |
| 8 | 22 | 3,520 | 42,240 |
| 7 | 20 | 2,800 | 33,600 |
| 6 | 16 | 1,920 | 23,040 |
| 5 | 12 | 1,200 | 14,400 |
| 4 | 10 | 800 | 9,600 |
These are gross figures. They are not take-home pay: income tax, resident tax and social insurance are not deducted. Public holidays, paid leave and shift variation are not modelled either.
