  4. Key point

A salary expressed per hour, month or year can only be compared correctly when the same working-time basis is used.

The Bethemesh salary calculator automatically converts hourly, weekly, monthly and annual compensation.

Salary conversion formulas

Annual salary = Hourly rate × Hours per week × Weeks per year

Monthly salary = Annual salary / 12

Hourly rate = Annual salary / (Hours per week × Weeks per year)

At €20/hour, 35 hours per week and 52 weeks, the annual equivalent is €36,400 and the monthly average is about €3,033.33.

Why 151.67 hours per month at 35 hours per week?

35 × 52 = 1,820 hours/year

1,820 / 12 ≈ 151.67 hours/month

This is an average monthly time basis, not a statement that every calendar month contains the same working hours.

Time conversion is not gross-to-net conversion

Changing the salary period does not calculate payroll deductions. Contributions, taxes, bonuses, overtime and individual payroll rules are separate issues.

For financing simulations, use the loan calculator. To model savings growth, use the compound interest calculator.

Key point

Use the same weekly hours and annual-week assumption when comparing two compensation packages.
