How the conversion works
Total working hours in a year is hours-per-week × weeks-per-year. Divide the annual salary by that figure to get the hourly rate, or multiply the hourly rate by it to get back to annual. Every other figure — daily, weekly, monthly — follows directly from whichever rate you're solving for.
Common questions
Why 52 weeks instead of subtracting time off?
52 weeks is the standard default for comparing a salaried role's headline rate, since paid time off is usually still paid. Adjust the weeks-per-year field down if you want the rate to reflect actual weeks worked instead.
Does this account for taxes?
No, all figures are gross — before tax and any other deductions. Take-home pay will be lower, and by how much depends on where you live and your specific tax situation.
How is the daily rate calculated?
It assumes a 5-day work week regardless of how many hours per week you entered, dividing the weekly total by 5. If you work a different number of days, the daily figure won't directly apply.
