What this calculator does
This calculator converts gross annual salary into an effective hourly rate, or converts an hourly rate into an annual salary estimate. It is useful for Canadian employees, contractors, students, and job seekers comparing offers with different schedules.
How to use it
Use salary mode when you know the annual amount. Use hourly mode when you know the hourly rate. Then enter weekly hours and vacation treatment so the calculator can estimate working hours for the year.
Inputs explained
The gross pay number before income tax, CPP, EI, benefits, or other deductions.
The expected working schedule used to calculate total annual hours.
Time away from work. It changes hourly comparisons when vacation is unpaid.
Paid vacation keeps the year at 52 paid weeks; unpaid vacation reduces working weeks.
Example calculation
With the current inputs, the calculator uses 2,080 working hours across 52 paid weeks. That produces an effective hourly rate of $40.87.
How to read your result
Use the hourly or salary result to compare offers at the same work schedule. Then move the annual amount into the net pay calculator to estimate take-home pay and payroll deductions.
