About this tool
This salary converter turns one rate of pay into every other. Type an hourly rate and you instantly see the daily, weekly, fortnightly, monthly and yearly equivalents, or type a yearly salary and the hourly rate appears. You set your own hours, days, weeks in the year and unpaid weeks off, so it works for part-time, contract and six-day weeks too.
Below the converter, the take-home card runs your yearly pay through the current tax rules of the country you choose: Australia for 2026–27 (including the new 15% rate, the $1,000 instant work deduction, Medicare levy and HELP repayments), the UK for 2026 to 2027 (Scottish bands, National Insurance and student loans), the US federal rules for 2026, India’s new regime for 2026-27, New Zealand with ACC and KiwiSaver, and Canada’s federal tax. You get take-home pay per year, month, fortnight and week, a chart of where the money goes and a link to every official source.
A comparison panel weighs up two job offers. Everything runs in your browser and nothing you type is sent anywhere. Tax figures are careful estimates, not tax advice.

In Australia for 2026–27, a salary of $80,000 with the $1,000 instant deduction has $79,000 taxable: income tax $14,220 and Medicare levy $1,580, so take-home pay is $64,200 a year, or $5,350 a month. Your employer also pays $9,600 of super on top.

Tips and good to know
- Monthly pay here is yearly pay divided by 12, not four weeks of pay. A month averages about 4.33 weeks.
- Choosing a country also switches the currency to match. If you switch the currency back, the tax card says so, because tax always works in the country’s own money.
- US figures leave out state income tax and Canadian figures leave out provincial tax, so real take-home pay there is lower. The card says this plainly.
- Payslips use pay-period tax tables, so they can differ from these yearly figures by a few dollars; your tax return settles it.
Frequently asked questions
Is my salary sent anywhere?
No. All the conversions and the tax maths happen in your browser on your device. Nothing you type is uploaded, saved or shared with anyone.
Is it free? Are there any limits?
Yes, it is free with no sign-up and no limits. Use it as often as you like for any amount, country and working pattern.
Does it work on a phone, iPhone or offline?
Yes. It works in Safari on iPhone, Chrome on Android and every modern desktop browser. Once the page has loaded, the maths runs on your device without needing the internet.
How accurate is the take-home pay?
It uses the official rates for each country’s current tax year, checked on 7 October 2026 and linked under the card. It assumes salary is your only income and you claim the usual allowances, so treat it as a close estimate. Your own situation, other income or credits can change the real figure.
Does it include state or provincial tax?
No. US results are federal tax, Social Security and Medicare only, and Canadian results are federal tax, CPP and EI only. State and provincial income taxes vary a lot, so they are left out and the card tells you so.
How do I convert an hourly rate to a yearly salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by your hours per week and then by your paid weeks per year. For example, 30 an hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = 62,400 a year. With 2 unpaid weeks it becomes 30 × 40 × 50 = 60,000.
Why does the comparison say one offer pays more but the other pays more per hour?
Because the offers ask for different hours. A salary of 85,000 for 40 hours a week is 40.87 an hour, while 42 an hour for 38 hours a week is 82,992 a year. The first pays more in total; the second pays more for your time.
