## Why the assumptions matter

Most converters quietly assume a 40 hour week and 52 paid weeks. That is fine for a salaried employee and badly wrong for everyone else, which is why all three inputs are yours to set.

- **Hours per week**: The single biggest lever. At the same annual salary, a 45 hour week is worth about 11 percent less per hour than a 40 hour one. If you are comparing two offers with different expected hours, comparing annual figures alone hides the difference entirely.
- **Paid weeks per year**: Salaried staff are usually paid all 52 weeks, including their leave. A contractor who takes four unpaid weeks is working 48, so their headline day rate has to cover more than it first appears. Set this to 48 and the annual figure tells the truth.
- **Days per week**: Used for the daily rate, which is how most contract and freelance work is actually quoted. A four day week changes the day rate without changing anything else.
- **Comparing an offer to a contract**: Convert both to the same period before you compare. A contract day rate that looks generous next to a salary often stops looking that way once unpaid leave, and the benefits it does not include, are in the same units.
- **Sense-checking a posting**: Job ads quote whatever period flatters the number. Converting it to the period you think in takes a second and stops a high-looking monthly figure from anchoring you.
- **These are gross figures**: Everything shown is before tax, deductions, and employer contributions. Take-home depends on your country, your bracket, and your allowances, and any tool that claims otherwise without knowing where you live is guessing.

## How to use it

1. **Enter what you know** Type the figure you have and pick the period it is quoted in. Currency is cosmetic; the maths is identical either way.
2. **Set your real working pattern** Adjust hours, days, and paid weeks to match the job in question rather than leaving the defaults in place.
3. **Compare in one period** Read across the table and compare every option in whichever row you naturally think in.

## Frequently asked questions

### Is this take-home pay or gross?

Gross, before any tax or deductions. Net pay depends on your country, your income bracket, and your personal allowances, so a converter that does not know where you live cannot calculate it honestly.

### How do I convert an hourly rate to an annual salary?

Multiply the hourly rate by your hours per week and then by your paid weeks per year. At 40 hours and 52 weeks that is 2,080 hours, so a rate of 50 an hour is 104,000 a year. Enter your own hours and weeks above and the table does it for you.

### What should I put for paid weeks per year?

Use 52 if you are salaried and your leave is paid, because you are paid across the whole year. Use 52 minus your unpaid weeks if you are a contractor or freelancer, since weeks you do not bill still have to be covered by the weeks you do.

### Does it convert between currencies?

No. The currency selector only changes how the figures are formatted, so there are no exchange rates involved and nothing to go out of date. Use a dedicated currency converter for that.

### Why does the monthly figure not match my payslip?

The monthly row is the annual figure divided by twelve, before deductions. Payslips differ because of tax, pension and insurance contributions, and because some employers pay across a different number of periods.

### Is anything I type sent anywhere?

No. It is arithmetic running in your browser. Nothing is transmitted and nothing is stored.
