Convert any pay rate to all time periods instantly. AU standard 38-hour week.
Getting a new job offer and trying to work out what it actually means for your weekly budget? Or on an hourly rate and want to see what that translates to annually? This calculator converts between hourly, daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly, and annual pay so you can compare apples with apples.
It handles the full Australian pay cycle and lets you enter any form of pay — whether you know your hourly rate, your annual salary, or your fortnightly take-home. Gross income and the standard hours per week are the key inputs.
This is particularly useful when comparing a permanent salaried role against a casual or contract position where the hourly rate looks higher but doesn't include leave entitlements. The calculator won't factor in those entitlements, but at least having accurate gross income figures side by side makes the comparison easier.
The standard full-time working year in Australia is 38 hours per week, giving 1,976 hours annually (38 × 52). If you regularly work overtime or have a non-standard arrangement, adjust the hours per week field accordingly.
Gross pay is your income before any deductions. Net pay (take-home) is what actually hits your bank account after income tax, Medicare Levy, and any other deductions are taken out. This calculator shows gross figures — use the tax calculator to estimate your net.
Permanent employees receive paid annual leave (4 weeks), sick leave (10 days), and public holidays. Casual employees receive a 25% loading on their base rate instead. To compare fairly, either add 25% to the permanent base rate or reduce the casual rate by 20% — then compare the resulting figures.
OTE stands for On-Target Earnings — the total you'd earn if you hit all your performance targets, including commission or bonus. It's commonly used in sales roles. If you're being quoted OTE, make sure you understand what the guaranteed base salary is versus what requires hitting targets.
