Frequently Asked Questions

How is yearly income calculated from hourly pay?

Yearly income = hourly rate × hours per week × effective paid weeks. Effective paid weeks = paid weeks per year (typically 52, including paid vacation) minus unpaid weeks off. Overtime hours above your threshold are multiplied by your overtime rate (e.g. 1.5×).

What if I work different hours each week?

Use your average hours per week. For irregular or freelance work, estimate a typical week or use a lower number to be conservative. All calculations run in your browser—no data is sent to any server.

What does the take-home or tax estimate mean?

The take-home and country tax presets apply an approximate percentage to gross income to estimate net pay. These are rough estimates only and not tax advice. For accurate figures use a dedicated salary or tax calculator.

How do I compare two job offers?

Use comparison mode: enter the first job's rate and hours, then the second. The calculator shows both yearly totals and the difference so you can compare offers fairly.
