Convert your hourly wage into daily, weekly, monthly, and annual salary, including overtime pay.
This calculator converts an hourly wage into daily, weekly, monthly, and annual pay figures, accounting for regular hours, overtime hours and pay multiplier, and the number of paid weeks per year - useful for comparing an hourly job offer to an annual salary, or estimating your gross pay.
This calculator multiplies your hourly rate by your hours to get weekly pay, separating regular hours from overtime hours (which are paid at your rate times the overtime multiplier), then scales weekly pay to daily, monthly, and annual figures.
Formula: Regular Weekly Pay = Hourly Rate × Regular Hours. Overtime Weekly Pay = Hourly Rate × Overtime Multiplier × Overtime Hours. Weekly Pay = Regular Weekly Pay + Overtime Weekly Pay. Daily Pay = Weekly Pay ÷ 5. Annual Salary = Weekly Pay × Paid Weeks per Year. Monthly Pay = Annual Salary ÷ 12.
Example: An hourly rate of CA$22 for 40 regular hours per week, with no overtime, paid for all 52 weeks of the year, gives a weekly pay of CA$880, a daily pay of CA$176, a monthly pay of about CA$3,813, and an annual salary of CA$45,760. (Note: this example is for illustration purposes only - your actual pay frequency, deductions, and overtime rules may differ.)
This calculator shows gross pay (before taxes and deductions) - to estimate your actual take-home pay after federal and provincial income tax, CPP, and EI, see our Take-Home Pay Calculator or Income Tax Calculator. Overtime rules in Canada vary by province and by whether a job falls under federal or provincial labour standards: most provinces require overtime pay (commonly 1.5x the regular rate) once an employee works more than a set number of hours in a day (often 8) or week (often 40 or 44, depending on the province), though some industries and salaried/exempt roles have different rules. Minimum wage also varies by province and is updated periodically - as of recent years it has generally ranged from roughly CA$15 to CA$19 per hour depending on the province, so check your province's current minimum wage to ensure your hourly rate complies if you're an employer, or to understand your entitlements as an employee. If you're comparing a job offer that pays hourly to one that pays an annual salary, this calculator can help put both on the same basis - but remember to also compare benefits, vacation pay (which in some provinces is calculated as a percentage of gross wages rather than being a separate paid week), and other compensation beyond base pay.
Multiply your hourly rate by your regular hours per week to get weekly pay, then multiply by the number of paid weeks per year (52 for a full year). For example, CA\$22/hour × 40 hours = CA\$880/week, and CA\$880 × 52 weeks = CA\$45,760/year. Add any overtime pay using the same approach with your overtime rate and hours.
A multiplier of 1.5x (often called "time and a half") is the most common overtime rate required by employment standards legislation across Canadian provinces, though the threshold for when overtime applies (e.g., after 8 hours per day or 40-44 hours per week) varies by province and industry. Some employers offer higher multipliers (such as 2x for certain holidays) as part of their policy or collective agreement.
No, this calculator shows gross pay - the amount before income tax, CPP, and EI deductions. To estimate your net (take-home) pay, use our Take-Home Pay Calculator, which applies federal and provincial tax brackets along with CPP and EI rates to your gross income.
Because most months don't have exactly 4 weeks (52 weeks ÷ 12 months ≈ 4.33 weeks per month). This calculator divides your annual salary by 12 to get a true monthly average, which accounts for the extra partial weeks - multiplying weekly pay by 4 would understate your actual monthly income.
This calculator doesn't check your hourly rate against minimum wage - it simply calculates pay based on whatever rate you enter. Minimum wage varies by province and is updated periodically, so if you're using this for compliance purposes (as an employer or to check your own pay), verify your province's current minimum wage separately.
This calculator assumes consistent weekly hours. If your hours vary significantly, you could run the calculation for a "typical" week, or for different scenarios (a busy week vs. a slow week) to get a sense of the range, and use your actual pay stubs or an average over several months for a more precise picture of your real income.
