Know what your pay works out to.
Convert a salary into an hourly rate, turn an hourly rate into an annual figure and see the cash value of a pay rise—with the work pattern made visible.
Built for comparisons. Results are gross-pay estimates only; tax, superannuation, overtime, allowances and benefits are not included.
Three useful answers, one clear set of assumptions.
Start with the number you know, then set the ordinary work pattern that gives that number context.
- 01Convert salaryAnnual gross pay → hourly, daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly figures.
- 02Convert hourly payHourly rate → estimated annual gross pay for your hours and paid weeks.
- 03Model a pay riseCurrent pay + percentage or fixed raise → new base pay and increase.

How to use the salary, hourly pay & pay-rise calculator
The video gives the quick walkthrough. These steps make the underlying calculation and the limits of each result explicit.
Enter gross pay and your normal schedule
Use the pay amount before income tax and other deductions. For a salary conversion, enter either the annual salary or hourly rate, then set ordinary hours each week, paid weeks in the year and workdays each week.
Read the breakdown—not only the headline
The calculator gives equivalent pay periods. A higher annual figure can still produce a lower effective hourly rate if the ordinary hours or paid weeks are different, so compare like for like.
Check the exclusions before deciding
These are transparent arithmetic estimates, not payroll advice. Confirm awards, employment contracts, tax, superannuation or pension treatment, overtime and leave arrangements using your own primary information.
Worked examples
Open the calculator See the numbers before entering your own.
Example 1A$80,000 annual salary
What is an A$80,000 salary per hour?
For a 38-hour week across 52 paid weeks, annual ordinary hours are 1,976.
- A$80,000 ÷ 1,976 hours
- A$40.49/hr
- Weekly gross pay
- A$1,538.46
- Monthly gross pay
- A$6,666.67
The hourly figure is an equivalent gross rate. It does not convert this salary into an overtime, award or take-home-pay entitlement.
Example 2A$45 hourly rate
What is A$45 an hour per year?
At 38 ordinary hours a week for 52 paid weeks, the estimate is:
A$88,920 gross per year
A$45 × 38 hours × 52 weeks
Change the paid weeks if the role has unpaid weeks or a work pattern that is not constant through the year.
Example 3Model a 5% pay rise
What does a 5% increase add?
A 5% increase on A$80,000 produces:
A$84,000 new annual base pay
- Increase
- A$4,000
- New monthly base
- A$7,000
Add a bonus only when it is separate from base pay, and confirm whether it is a percentage or a fixed amount.
How to interpret the result
Use it to compare scenarios, not to replace employment advice.
The calculator deliberately asks for the working pattern instead of silently assuming one. That makes it useful for testing a changed week, an hourly offer or a proposed increase on the same basis.

These answers explain the arithmetic shown by the tool. Check official or employer-specific information for any legal, payroll or tax question.
How do I calculate my hourly rate from an annual salary?
Divide gross annual salary by ordinary hours per week multiplied by paid weeks per year. For example, A$80,000 ÷ (38 × 52) is about A$40.49 per hour.
How do I calculate annual salary from an hourly rate?
Multiply the hourly rate by ordinary hours per week and paid weeks per year. A$45 per hour × 38 hours × 52 weeks is A$88,920 gross per year.
How much is a 5% pay rise on A$80,000?
Five per cent of A$80,000 is A$4,000. Add that increase to the existing salary to get a new annual base of A$84,000 before any separate bonus.
Does this calculator show take-home pay?
No. It works with gross pay only and does not calculate income tax, superannuation, pension contributions, deductions, overtime, allowances, leave loading or benefits.
Should I always enter 52 paid weeks?
Use the schedule that fits the comparison. If a role has unpaid weeks, variable hours or another work pattern, change the inputs so the arithmetic reflects the actual scenario.
