What does an hourly wage equal as a salary?
Convert an hourly wage into annual, monthly, weekly, and approximate after-tax income. The tool annualizes regular hours, adds the overtime amount you choose, and presents the resulting yearly pay beside the hourly rate. Changing weeks, hours, or overtime shows how the same wage changes when the work pattern changes.
With the values entered, the calculator estimates estimated annual salary of $54,600. This scenario uses province or territory set to Ontario, hourly wage of $28, hours per week of 37.5 hours, and weeks worked per year of 52 weeks. The supporting results show monthly income of $4,550 and weekly income of $1,050, which makes the main drivers easier to compare. Useful for comparing hourly and salaried roles, especially when hours or seasonality vary. Compare annual pay with the actual hours required to earn it. A salaried offer is stronger only when its benefits, paid time off, overtime expectations, and total workload still make sense beside the hourly result.

Frequently asked questions
Should I use 52 weeks?
Use 52 if you are paid year-round. Use fewer weeks for seasonal or contract work.
Does this include vacation pay?
Only if it is already reflected in your hourly wage or paid weeks.
What if my hours change every week?
Use a conservative average, then run a low-hours case. The lower case is often better for rent, debt, and bill planning.
What if salary includes unpaid overtime?
Estimate the real weekly hours and compare the effective hourly rate. A salary can look better until long unpaid weeks are included.
Hourly vs salary jobs
Hourly jobs pay for each hour worked, while salaried roles usually quote annual pay. Benefits, overtime, and schedule stability can change the real comparison.
Full-time work in Canada
A common full-time schedule is 35 to 40 hours per week, but actual hours vary by employer and province.
Overtime rules
Overtime thresholds and exemptions vary across Canada. This calculator uses the multiplier you enter rather than applying legal rules automatically.
Disclaimer
Hourly and salary comparisons depend on hours worked, overtime eligibility, unpaid time, benefits, vacation pay, and province-specific employment rules. Use this estimate before comparing offers or negotiating pay.
