Why use this tool?

Job offers, freelance rates, and pay negotiations often mix hourly and annual numbers, making it hard to compare on equal footing. This tool converts cleanly between the two and breaks the number down into daily, weekly, biweekly, and monthly pay.

How it works

  1. Choose whether you're starting from an annual salary or an hourly rate.
  2. Enter your hours per week and paid weeks per year.
  3. Read the full pay breakdown below.

Frequently asked questions
