This hourly to salary calculator converts an hourly rate into gross weekly, monthly and annual salary for India. Enter what you earn an hour, the hours and days you actually work, and pick whether you are paid for hours worked or for all 30 days of the month. Both models are shown side by side every time, so you can see what the choice is worth in rupees. To go the other way and turn a salary into a rate, use the salary to hourly calculator. Nothing you type leaves your browser.

An hourly to salary calculator answers the question a rate on its own cannot: what is this worth over a month and over a year. Type your hourly pay, the hours you work in a week and the days you spread them across, and the tool returns gross weekly, monthly and annual salary with every step of the arithmetic printed underneath. Nothing is hidden in a constant you cannot check. The default Working Hours model pays for hours actually worked, which is how hourly, freelance and contract work is normally priced in India, and it is the model behind the familiar figure of 2,080 paid hours in a full-time year.
The second model exists because not every hourly worker is paid the same way. Where an employer converts a day rate into a monthly salary that covers all 30 days of the month, weekly offs included, the annual figure is meaningfully higher than the hours-worked figure, and the gap is worth seeing rather than guessing. This page prints both on every result and states the difference in rupees. Every figure it returns is gross, before employee provident fund, professional tax and income tax, so for the amount that reaches your bank continue to the in-hand salary calculator or the post-tax salary calculator. To convert hourly pay to salary is one direction of a pair; to convert salary to hourly rate, use the salary to hourly calculator. Everything here sits inside the wider set of salary calculators for India.

Gross rupees on the Working Hours model, 40 hours a week across 5 days. Every figure below was produced by running the calculator on this page, not written by hand.

| Same rate on Paid Calendar Days, annual | 7,20,000 | 14,40,000 | 34,56,000 |
Assumptions for every column: 40 hours a week, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year. Gross figures, before any deduction.
The last row is the one to sit with. On the same rate and the same hours, the Paid Calendar Days model returns 38.46 percent more a year than the Working Hours model, because it pays a full day rate for all 30 days of the month while the hours-worked model pays only for the roughly 22 days actually worked. That is not a rounding difference and it is not a preference: one of the two describes how you are actually paid and the other does not. If you are quoting a rate to a client or comparing an hourly offer with a salaried one, Working Hours is almost always the honest basis. Note also that all three annual figures here are gross. At ₹500 an hour the ₹10,40,000 a year is before employee provident fund, professional tax and income tax, so run it through the post-tax salary calculator for the figure after tax, or the CTC to in-hand salary calculator if an employer has quoted you a package rather than a rate.
An hourly rate and a salary describe the same earnings in two different units, and almost every practical question needs them in the same unit. A bank wants an annual figure. A recruiter quotes a package. A client pays by the hour. This calculator converts hourly into salary so those conversations can happen without arithmetic in the margin of a notebook.
It is built for the person holding a rate. Enter hourly pay, weekly hours and the days you work, and it returns pay per working day, pay per week, gross monthly salary and gross annual salary, with the conversion printed step by step underneath. It is deliberately not a tax tool. Income tax depends on the financial year, on your regime and on deductions this page knows nothing about, so it is computed on the pages that own it rather than estimated here.
What the tool returns is gross salary, every time. Employee provident fund, professional tax and income tax all come out of that figure before the money reaches your account. For the amount after income tax use the post-tax salary calculator, and for the monthly credit after provident fund and professional tax as well use the in-hand salary calculator or the take-home salary calculator.
To calculate hourly wage as a salary you need three things: the rate, the hours, and a rule for how many of those hours get paid across a month or a year. The rate and the hours come from you. The third is the part that quietly decides the answer, and it is why this page asks which model you are on instead of picking one silently.
Written out, the Working Hours formula is short enough to do on paper. Annual salary equals hourly rate times hours per week times 52. Monthly salary equals that divided by 12. At ₹500 an hour and 40 hours a week, annual salary is ₹10,40,000 and monthly salary is ₹86,667. The 2,080 figure people quote is simply 40 hours across 52 weeks, and dividing any annual salary by 2,080 reverses the conversion at standard full-time hours.
The wage period itself is a matter of law rather than convention. Under the Code on Wages, 2019, published by the Ministry of Labour and Employment, an employer fixes the wage period as daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly, and the appropriate government fixes the number of hours that make up a normal working day, with work beyond it payable at a higher rate. That is exactly why a rate cannot be turned into a salary without first saying which period is being paid for. Check your contract or appointment letter for the wage period before you trust either model, including the one this page defaults to.
Working Hours model at 40 hours a week across 5 days, which is 2,080 paid hours a year. Every row was computed by the engine on this page rather than typed from a reference chart, so the table and the tool cannot drift apart.
| Hourly Rate | Per Working Day | Per Week | Monthly Salary | Annual Salary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| ₹100 | 800 | 4,000 | 17,333 | 2,08,000 |
| ₹200 | 1,600 | 8,000 | 34,667 | 4,16,000 |
| ₹300 | 2,400 | 12,000 | 52,000 | 6,24,000 |
| ₹500 | 4,000 | 20,000 | 86,667 | 10,40,000 |
| ₹750 | 6,000 | 30,000 | 1,30,000 | 15,60,000 |
| ₹1,000 | 8,000 | 40,000 | 1,73,333 | 20,80,000 |
| ₹1,200 | 9,600 | 48,000 | 2,08,000 | 24,96,000 |
Assumptions for every row: 40 hours a week, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, Working Hours model.
All figures are gross, before employee provident fund, professional tax and income tax. Part-time hours scale the whole row proportionally: at 20 hours a week every monthly and annual figure above is exactly halved.
The conversion is needed whenever the unit you are paid in is not the unit you are being asked about. Loan and credit card applications are the most common: lenders assess annual income, and an hourly rate on its own is not an answer they accept. Comparing offers is the next most common, because an hourly engagement and a salaried role cannot be weighed against each other until both are stated per year.
Gig and contract work is where it comes up most often. Someone driving, delivering, tutoring, consulting or building software on a per-hour basis has a rate but no salary, and every form, every landlord and every bank asks for the salary. Converting first, with the hours honestly stated, turns a rate into a number those conversations can use. Set your hours to what you genuinely bill rather than to a hopeful full-time week, because a rate multiplied by hours you do not work is a figure you cannot support with invoices.
It also matters when you are moving in the other direction, from a salaried role toward hourly or contract work, and want to know what rate holds your income steady. That is the reverse calculation and it belongs to the salary to hourly calculator. If you are negotiating a raise on an existing salary instead, the salary increment calculator is the right page, and the monthly salary calculator and annual salary calculator handle conversions between monthly and yearly pay once you already hold a salary figure.
The short version before the detail: this is a wage-period converter built on arithmetic you can check line by line, not a payslip reader and not a tax calculator. Where it makes an assumption or stops short, it says so on screen rather than in a footnote.
Every figure this tool returns is gross. Income tax depends on the financial year, the regime you are on, the standard deduction and reliefs this page cannot see, so estimating it here would produce a confident number that could be wrong by a large margin. The pages that own that calculation are the post-tax salary calculator and the income tax calculator, and the honest route is to take the annual figure from here to one of them.
The Paid Calendar Days model needs to know hours per working day, and that can only be derived if the tool knows how many days you work. Assuming six days silently, as some converters do, gives a five-day worker a day rate that is 20 percent too low and a monthly figure to match. Making it a field means the assumption is visible, editable and checkable against your own contract, which is the whole point of printing the working underneath the answer.
The Working Hours model uses 52 weeks a year, which is the standard convention and is about 1.25 days short of a full calendar year. The Paid Calendar Days model uses a flat 30-day month, so a year comes to 360 paid days rather than 365. Both are conventions rather than measurements. Treat the monthly figure as an average across the year: real months have 28 to 31 days and a variable number of working days, so no single month will match it exactly.
Both models assume you are paid for every week of the year. An hourly worker with no paid leave who takes two weeks off is paid for 50 weeks, not 52, and the annual figure here overstates their income by about 4 percent. Freelancers between projects can be further out than that. If your hours vary, the honest approach is to enter your average billed hours rather than your best week, and to treat the annual figure as a ceiling.
The conversion multiplies every hour by the same rate. Where hours beyond the normal working day attract a higher statutory rate, the real figure is higher than the one shown, and this tool flags it rather than guessing when you enter more than 48 hours a week. Overtime entitlement depends on the establishment and the applicable law, and the calculation belongs on the overtime pay calculator.
The arithmetic here is fixed and checkable, but what it means for a loan application, a rate negotiation or a contract is not something a calculator can tell you. Your appointment letter or contract is the authority on your wage period and your hours. For anything with real money resting on it, an accountant is worth the fee.
The people who get the most from this page are the ones holding a rate and being asked for a salary. A freelancer whose client pays by the hour and whose bank wants an annual income figure on a loan form. A contract engineer weighing an hourly engagement against a salaried role and needing the two stated in the same unit before the comparison means anything. A part-time employee who wants to know what 20 hours a week actually adds up to over a year. A hiring manager converting a contractor rate into the band a permanent role would sit in. Gig and contract work is exactly where this conversion gets used most, because the pay unit and the offer unit rarely match. If you are starting from a package rather than a rate, the CTC to in-hand salary calculator is the right entry point, freelancers should also see the freelance income calculator, and paid interns can start at the internship stipend calculator. Everything sits in the wider set of salary calculators for India.
Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work in a week, then by 52 weeks. At ₹500 an hour and 40 hours a week that is ₹500 times 40 times 52, which comes to ₹10,40,000 gross a year. Divide by twelve for the monthly figure, ₹86,667. That is the Working Hours model and it is what this calculator uses by default, because it pays only for hours actually worked.
Take the annual figure and divide it by twelve, rather than multiplying weekly pay by four. A month is closer to 4.33 weeks than to 4, so multiplying by 4 understates monthly salary by roughly 8 percent. At ₹300 an hour and 40 hours a week, annual pay is ₹6,24,000 and monthly salary is ₹52,000, while the weeks-times-four shortcut would have given ₹48,000.
None of them silently. You choose. The Working Hours model pays for hours worked across 52 weeks and is the default. The Paid Calendar Days model pays a day rate across all 30 days of the month, weekly offs included. Days per week is your input too, so hours per working day is derived from your actual week rather than a hidden constant. Both models are printed on every result with the annual difference in rupees.
Working Hours pays only for hours worked, so annual salary is rate times weekly hours times 52. Paid Calendar Days pays a full day rate for every one of the 30 days in a month, which includes days you did not work. At 40 hours over 5 days the calendar model returns 38.46 percent more a year; at 48 hours over 6 days it returns 15.38 percent more. Use it only if your weekly offs are genuinely paid.
On the Working Hours model at 40 hours a week, ₹500 an hour is ₹10,40,000 gross a year and ₹86,667 gross a month, with pay per working day of ₹4,000. On the Paid Calendar Days model at 5 days a week the same rate gives ₹14,40,000 a year. Both figures are gross, before provident fund, professional tax and income tax.
Gross. The calculator converts a rate into a salary and stops there, without deducting anything. Employee provident fund, professional tax and income tax all come out afterwards. To find what actually reaches your bank, take the annual figure from here into the in-hand salary calculator, which applies those deductions properly.
Three, usually. Employee provident fund is 12 percent of basic pay where the establishment is covered. Professional tax is a state levy capped at ₹2,500 a year by the Constitution, and several states charge nothing. Income tax depends on your total income and your regime. None of them is computed here. The post-tax salary calculator handles income tax and the provident fund calculator handles the EPF slice.
Change the hours field to 20 and everything scales exactly, because the conversion is linear in hours. At ₹500 an hour, 20 hours a week gives ₹5,20,000 gross a year and ₹43,333 a month, which is precisely half the 40-hour result. Any value from half an hour to 168 hours a week is accepted, so irregular and partial schedules work the same way.
Not directly, but the conversion takes one step. Divide your weekly pay by the hours you work in that week to get the hourly rate, then enter it. If you are paid ₹18,000 for a 36-hour week, your hourly rate is ₹500 and you would enter 500 with 36 hours. The tool then prints pay per week back to you, which is a quick way to confirm you divided correctly.
Use the Copy result button under the tables. It puts a plain text summary on your clipboard with your inputs, the model you chose, the day, week, month and year figures, and both models' annual totals, so you can paste it into an email, a loan form or a note. There is no save, no account and no export file, because nothing you type is sent anywhere in the first place.
No. The whole conversion runs in your browser in JavaScript. Your rate and hours are never sent to a server, never written to a database and never shared with anyone. Close the tab and the numbers are gone. That is also why there is no history and no saved result to come back to.
One rate in, and your gross weekly, monthly and annual salary out, with both conversion models compared and every step of the arithmetic shown. Free, private, and nothing you type is stored.
