About the Salary Calculator

Enter your pay at any frequency and see it converted to every other one. Type an hourly rate to get the annual equivalent, or an annual salary to find what it works out to per hour, which is the comparison that actually matters when weighing up two offers.

The assumptions are yours to set, and that is the point. Hours per week, working days per week and paid holiday all change the answer significantly, so a rate that looks better on paper can be worse per hour once a longer working week is factored in. Freelancers can also subtract unpaid time off, which is the adjustment that makes a contract rate genuinely comparable with a salaried one.
