How to convert salary to an hourly rate

How the conversion works

The calculator uses an average of 52/12 weeks per month, rather than a flat 4 weeks, so the monthly figure stays accurate across a full year even though months have different lengths.

Common uses

  • Compare a job offer's monthly salary against your current hourly rate.
  • Estimate what a freelance hourly rate should be to match a target monthly income.

Worked example

A $4,000 monthly salary at 40 hours per week works out to roughly $23.08 per hour, using the 52/12 weeks-per-month average.

Workload formula

Monthly hours
hours_per_week * weeks_per_year / 12
Hourly from monthly
monthly_salary / monthly_hours

4,000 per month, 40 h/week, 52 weeks

Monthly hours are 173.33, so the hourly rate is about 23.08.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why not just divide by 4 weeks?

Most months have more than 4 weeks in them; using the yearly average (52/12 ≈ 4.33) keeps the monthly figure accurate over a full year instead of overestimating it.

Does this account for taxes?

No. The calculator converts gross salary and hourly rate only; taxes and deductions aren't included.

What if I work a different number of hours some weeks?

Enter your typical or contracted hours per week — the calculator doesn't account for week-to-week variation.

Why can weeks per year change the hourly rate?

Monthly pay is divided by monthly hours, and monthly hours come from hours per week times weeks per year divided by 12.
