How this hourly to salary calculator works
This page starts in hourly mode so you can enter a before-tax hourly rate and immediately convert it into annual salary. It also shows weekly, fortnightly, and monthly salary equivalents, which makes it useful when comparing casual roles, contractor rates, and permanent salary offers.
The default assumption is a 38 hour Australian work week, but you can change the hours per week to match your roster, contract, or expected billable hours. Once the annual gross amount is calculated, the tool also estimates tax, super, and take-home pay using current Australian rules.
Common use cases
Compare hourly jobs with salaried roles
Convert an hourly wage into an annual salary estimate before you compare job offers or negotiate a permanent role.
Translate contractor rates into salary language
Turn an hourly contractor rate into monthly and annual figures so you can compare it with employee compensation more clearly.
Estimate take-home pay
See how much of an hourly rate could actually land in your bank account after PAYG tax, Medicare, and super are factored in.
Adjust for different work weeks
Use 38 hours, 37.5 hours, part-time hours, or your own custom weekly total depending on how your role is structured.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert an hourly rate to annual salary in Australia?
Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work each week, then multiply that by the number of paid weeks you expect to work in a year. This calculator does that automatically and shows annual, monthly, fortnightly, and weekly salary equivalents.
How many hours per week does this salary conversion use?
The calculator can use any hours-per-week figure you enter. On this page it starts with a 38 hour week, which is a common Australian full-time benchmark under the National Employment Standards.
Does this include tax and superannuation?
Yes. The calculator converts your hourly rate into annual gross salary, then applies 2025–2026 Australian tax settings to show take-home pay and superannuation estimates.
What is the difference between hourly wage and salary?
An hourly wage is paid per hour worked, while salary is usually quoted as a fixed annual amount. This page helps you compare the two by converting hourly pay into salary-style annual and monthly figures.
Can I use this for casual rates?
Yes, but remember that casual loading, penalty rates, overtime, unpaid leave, and actual hours worked can change the real annual total. Treat the conversion as an estimate unless your roster is stable year-round.
