How do I convert an hourly wage to a salary?

Multiply the hourly rate by the hours you work each week, then by 52 weeks for the annual figure. So $30 an hour at 40 hours a week is $1,200 a week and $62,400 a year. This calculator does every pay period at once.

Is this gross or take-home pay?

These are gross figures, before tax. To see take-home pay after PAYE, ACC, KiwiSaver, and student loan, use our PAYE Calculator, which applies the New Zealand tax rules to your gross income.

How many work days are in a year?

This calculator uses 52 weeks a year and your stated hours per week. The daily figure assumes 5 work days a week. Actual pay can differ slightly with public holidays and leave, but this gives an accurate everyday comparison.

Enter an amount, say what period it is, and set your hours per week, and the calculator shows the equivalent hourly, daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, and annual pay. All figures are gross, before tax. For take-home pay after PAYE and deductions, use the PAYE Calculator.

How the conversion works

Everything is converted to an annual figure first, then divided back into each period. The annual amount is the hourly rate times your weekly hours times 52, or the stated weekly, monthly, or yearly amount. Weekly is annual divided by 52, fortnightly by 26, and monthly by 12.

Worked example

A $70,000 salary at 40 hours a week is about $33.65 an hour, $1,346 a week, $2,692 a fortnight, and $5,833 a month, all before tax. Changing the hours per week changes the hourly rate without changing the annual salary.
