Convert a salary to an hourly wage, or an hourly rate to a yearly salary, along with daily, weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly and monthly pay. The calculator also compares your rate with the general minimum wage in your province or territory as of October 2026. A $60,000 salary for 40 hours a week and 52 paid weeks works out to $28.85 an hour, $1,153.85 a week or $2,307.69 every two weeks.

How the conversion works
| To get | Formula |
|---|---|
| Yearly pay from hourly | Hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks per year |
| Hourly rate from salary | Yearly salary ÷ (hours per week × paid weeks per year) |
| Weekly pay | Hourly rate × hours per week |
| Biweekly pay | Yearly pay ÷ 26 |
| Semi-monthly pay | Yearly pay ÷ 24 |
| Monthly pay | Yearly pay ÷ 12 |
A full-time year is 2,080 hours at 40 hours a week, or 1,950 hours at 37.5 hours a week, which is common in offices and the public sector. Salaried employees are normally paid for vacation and statutory holidays, so use 52 weeks. If you take unpaid time off, enter only the weeks you are paid for.

Federally regulated employers, such as banks, airlines and telecom companies, must pay the higher of the federal rate and the provincial or territorial rate. Some provinces have separate rates for students, liquor servers, farm workers or live-in caregivers, so check your province's rules if one of these applies.
Gross pay versus take-home pay
Every figure here is gross pay. Your employer deducts income tax, CPP and EI from each cheque, so your take-home pay is lower: on $60,000 in Ontario it is about $3,945 a month. Use the income tax calculator below to see your net pay in your province.
FAQ
How many working hours are in a year?
2,080 at 40 hours a week and 1,950 at 37.5 hours a week, counting 52 weeks. Paid vacation and statutory holidays are included in those hours.
Is biweekly the same as twice a month?
No. Biweekly means every two weeks, which gives 26 pay days a year, and in some years 27. Semi-monthly means twice a month, usually on the 15th and the last day, which gives 24 pay days. A biweekly cheque is a little smaller, but there are two extra ones.
Does overtime change my hourly rate?
This calculator uses your regular hours. In most provinces overtime is paid at 1.5 times your regular rate after 40 or 44 hours a week (or 8 hours a day in some provinces), so add overtime separately.
