Worked example: $85,000 a year to an hourly rate

  • Hours in a year: 38 hours × 52 weeks = 1,976 hours.
  • Hourly rate: $85,000 ÷ 1,976 = $43.02 an hour.
  • Daily rate: a 7.6-hour day is $326.92.
  • Casual equivalent: to match this salary as a casual, you would need about $53.77 an hour, because casual rates include a 25% loading instead of paid leave.

These figures are before tax. To see what lands in your bank account, use the pay calculator or the salary after tax chart.

Frequently asked questions

How does the salary to hourly calculator work?

It divides your salary by the hours you work in a year (38 hours × 52 weeks by default) and shows the hourly, daily, weekly, fortnightly and monthly figures. Change the hours or weeks under "More options".

How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?

Divide the annual salary by the hours you work in a year. A full-time Australian week is 38 hours, so a year is 38 × 52 = 1,976 hours. $80,000 ÷ 1,976 = $40.49 an hour.

Should I use 52 weeks?

Yes for permanent employees: your 4 weeks of annual leave and public holidays are paid, so you are paid for all 52 weeks. Casual employees are not paid for leave, which is why casual rates include a 25% loading.

Full-time hours: Fair Work Ombudsman: hours of work.
