How do I convert hourly pay to an annual salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per week, then by 52 weeks. For example, $30 an hour at 40 hours a week is 30 times 40 times 52, which is $62,400 a year before tax.

Is this before or after tax?

The annual income shown is your gross income, before PAYE tax, ACC, KiwiSaver, and any student loan. To see your take-home pay after deductions, use our PAYE Calculator.

How many weeks and fortnights are in a year?

A year has 52 weeks, 26 fortnights, and 12 months. The calculator uses these to convert between pay frequencies, so monthly pay is the annual figure divided by 12.
