What this calculator does
This tool converts an hourly wage into a full income picture — annual, monthly, weekly and daily gross pay. Instead of guessing what your hourly rate adds up to over a year, you enter how many hours you work per day, how many days per week, and how many weeks per year you actually work, and the calculator does the multiplication for you. All figures are gross (before taxes, deductions and benefits).
How to use it
Enter your hourly wage, then your typical schedule: hours per day, days per week, and weeks per year. A standard full-time schedule is 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year (or 50 if you take two unpaid weeks off). Part-time, seasonal and freelance workers can adjust each field to match reality. The result updates to show yearly income plus a breakdown by month, week and day.
The formula explained
The core equation is simply $$\text{Annual} = \text{Hourly} \times \text{Hours/Day} \times \text{Days/Week} \times \text{Weeks/Year}$$ Multiplying hours per day by days per week gives your weekly hours; multiplied by the hourly rate that is your weekly pay; multiplied by weeks per year gives the annual total. Monthly income is the annual figure divided by 12.
Worked example
Suppose you earn $20 per hour, work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 52 weeks a year. Weekly hours = \(8 \times 5 = 40\). Annual = \(20 \times 40 \times 52 = \$41{,}600\). Monthly = \(41{,}600 \div 12 \approx \$3{,}466.67\). Weekly = \(20 \times 40 = \$800\). Daily = \(20 \times 8 = \$160\).
FAQ
Is this gross or net pay? It is gross income — before income tax, payroll deductions, insurance and retirement contributions. Your take-home pay will be lower.
What weeks-per-year value should I use? Use 52 for paid year-round work, or fewer weeks if you have unpaid time off or seasonal work.
Does it include overtime? No. It assumes a flat hourly rate for all hours. If you work overtime at a higher rate, calculate that portion separately.
