How to convert salary to an hourly rate
Convert a monthly salary into an hourly rate, or an hourly rate into a monthly and annual salary, based on your hours worked per week.
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.

FAQ
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.
