Salary Calculator: Convert Hourly to Annual & Compare Offers
Tooly · 2026-08-02 · 5 min read
Job postings never use the same units: one says "$60,000/year", another says "$30/hour", and a third says "$1,200/week". A salary calculator converts between them instantly so you can compare offers apples-to-apples — and set your freelance rate with confidence.
What a salary calculator does
- Hourly → annual — $25/hr × 40 hrs × 52 weeks = $52,000
- Annual → hourly — $62,400 ÷ 2,080 hours = $30/hr
- Weekly & monthly — break any salary into pay periods
- Custom schedules — part-time and freelance hours supported

Freelancer tip: don't forget the overhead
- Employees get taxes, benefits, and paid time off paid for — freelancers don't
- Rule of thumb: your freelance rate ≈ employee rate × 1.3–1.5
- Track your actual billable hours — the calculator helps you find your real effective rate
- For invoicing at your new rate, pair with InvoiceForge
