What Is the Salary Converter?
Whether you are comparing job offers, transitioning between hourly and salaried positions, or negotiating freelance rates, our Salary Converter helps you translate between hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and annual pay.

Job seekers comparing offers, freelancers setting rates, employees negotiating salary, and anyone planning their personal budget will benefit from this converter.

Frequently Asked Questions
Hourly workers earn premium because they lack benefits like health insurance, paid leave, and retirement contributions. 20% to 30% premium is common.
Standard converter excludes overtime and bonuses. Add expected overtime or average bonuses separately for accurate comparison.
Assume 40 hours per week for most full-time roles. Many professional roles require 45 to 50 hours, use actual expected hours for accuracy.
Freelancers should include non-billable hours like admin, marketing, and client communication. If you work 50 hours weekly but bill only 30, your effective hourly rate is total income divided by 50, not 30.
Indian CTC includes employer PF contribution, gratuity, insurance, and other benefits that are not direct take-home pay. When converting hourly, use the gross cash component rather than total CTC for accurate comparison.
Divide your gross cash component (CTC minus employer PF, gratuity, and non-cash benefits) by the number of working hours per year. For a gross cash salary of INR 12,00,000 with 40 hours/week and 52 weeks/year, the hourly rate is 12,00,000 / (40 × 52) = approximately INR 577 per hour.
Standard converters exclude overtime and bonuses. For accurate comparison, add expected annual overtime pay and average bonus separately. In India, many IT companies pay 10-30% of base salary as performance bonus, which should be factored into the effective hourly rate for accurate job comparison.
Freelancers should include non-billable hours like admin, marketing, and client communication. If you work 50 hours weekly but bill only 30, your effective hourly rate is total income divided by 50, not 30. Including a 30% buffer for taxes, health insurance, and unpaid leave gives a true comparable rate.
Gross salary includes basic pay, allowances, and bonuses before deductions. Take-home salary is after deducting employee PF (12% of basic), professional tax, income tax, and other deductions. Typically, take-home pay is 70-80% of the gross salary, depending on the salary structure and tax regime chosen.
Standard assumption is 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours per year for full-time employment. However, many Indian IT and professional roles effectively work 45-50 hours per week. For accurate comparison, use the actual expected hours rather than the standard 40-hour assumption for your specific industry.
