How it works

The annual salary equals the hourly rate multiplied by hours per week and weeks per year. Monthly pay divides the annual figure by 12, biweekly divides by 26, and weekly by 52. For hourly employees, reduce weeks to reflect unpaid time off.

Worked example

Example: €22/h, 40 h/week, 52 weeks → €45,760/year, €3,813/month.

Recommendations

  • Multiply by your real weeks if you take unpaid leave or seasonal breaks.
  • Compare the annual figure against salary offers using the same weekly hours.
  • Remember that freelancers must also cover taxes and social contributions from this figure.

Tips & advice

  • A €1/h raise is €2,080/year at 40 h/week — small on paper, real in the bank.
  • When comparing to a salary, check benefits: hours can differ even at the same nominal rate.
  • Use this number to sanity-check quotes from contractors or agencies.
