Use this free online salary calculator to convert any pay figure - hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly - into its equivalent across all the other pay periods. Just enter your salary amount along with your working hours, days, and weeks, and get an instant breakdown.
How to Use the Salary Calculator
Enter your pay figure in the "Salary Amount (₹)" field.
Select whether that figure is Yearly, Monthly, Weekly, Daily, or Hourly from "This Amount Is Per".
Fill in "Hours Per Week", "Working Days Per Week", and "Weeks Per Year" to match your actual work schedule.
Click "Calculate Salary" to view the equivalent amount for every pay period in the results table.
How the Conversion Works
Whatever pay period you start from, the calculator first turns your figure into an annual amount, then divides that annual amount back down into every other period.
Starting from
Annual salary is
Hourly
Hourly rate × Hours per week × Weeks per year
Daily
Daily rate × Working days per week × Weeks per year
Weekly
Weekly pay × Weeks per year
Monthly
Monthly pay × 12
From the annual figure, monthly pay is annual ÷ 12, weekly pay is annual ÷ weeks per year, daily pay is weekly ÷ working days per week, and hourly pay is weekly ÷ hours per week. Because the monthly figure always uses 12 months while the weekly figure uses your weeks-per-year setting, changing the number of weeks changes the weekly, daily and hourly results but not the monthly one.
Worked Example: ₹12 Lakh a Year
An annual package of ₹12,00,000 is ₹1,00,000 a month. What that means per day and per hour depends on how many days and hours you actually work:
Schedule
Weekly
Daily
Hourly
5 days, 40 hours, 52 weeks
₹23,076.92
₹4,615.38
₹576.92
6 days, 48 hours, 52 weeks
₹23,076.92
₹3,846.15
₹480.77
5 days, 40 hours, 48 weeks
₹25,000.00
₹5,000.00
₹625.00
The same salary is worth about 17% less per hour on a six-day, 48-hour week than on a five-day, 40-hour week. The last row assumes four weeks of paid leave and holidays: you are paid for 52 weeks but only work 48, so each working hour is effectively paid more.
When This Conversion Is Useful
Comparing a job offer with freelance or contract work: a freelancer charging ₹500 an hour for 40 hours a week over 52 weeks earns ₹10,40,000 a year, or about ₹86,667 a month, before tax and without paid leave, PF or insurance.
Comparing offers with different working weeks: a higher salary with a six-day week may pay less per hour than a slightly lower one with a five-day week.
Pricing overtime or side projects: knowing your hourly equivalent helps you decide whether extra work is worth your time.
Budgeting from an annual package: converting the yearly figure to monthly gives a starting point for a household budget.
Things to Keep in Mind
The results are gross amounts. They do not deduct income tax, PF or professional tax. For the amount that reaches your bank account, use the Take-Home Salary Calculator.
A package quoted as "LPA" in India is usually CTC, which can include employer PF contributions, gratuity, insurance and variable pay. Converting the full CTC will overstate your regular monthly pay, so enter the fixed salary if you want a realistic figure.
Employers do not all calculate a day's pay the same way. For leave deductions, many divide the monthly salary by the number of days in the month or by a fixed 26 or 30 days, which gives a different daily figure from the one shown here.
Frequently Asked Questions
It first converts your entered amount to an annual figure based on the pay period you selected (for example, Hourly amount × Hours Per Week × Weeks Per Year, or Monthly amount × 12). It then derives the monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly equivalents from that annual figure using your Weeks Per Year, Working Days Per Week, and Hours Per Week values.
These values let the calculator accurately split your yearly salary into weekly, daily, and hourly amounts. Since work schedules vary, changing these fields (for example, 35 hours a week instead of 40) will change the daily and hourly figures accordingly.
Use 52 if you want the figures for every week of the year, as for a salaried job with paid leave. Use a smaller number, such as 48, to see what you earn per week or hour actually worked after leave and holidays, or if you are a freelancer who is not paid for weeks off.
No. It converts a gross figure between pay periods without deducting tax, PF or other deductions. Use the Take-Home Salary Calculator to estimate your in-hand pay.
This tool divides weekly pay by your working days per week. Many Indian employers instead divide the monthly salary by a fixed 26 or 30 days, or by the days in that month, when working out leave deductions or a day's pay.
