How this calculator works
Job ads and payslips in Australia mix hourly rates, weekly pay and annual packages, which makes it hard to compare offers at a glance. This calculator multiplies your hourly rate by your ordinary hours and the weeks you're actually paid for, subtracting any unpaid leave weeks so the annual figure reflects real take-home earning capacity rather than a theoretical 52-week year. It then breaks the result into weekly, fortnightly and monthly amounts to match however your payslip presents it. Because many Australian job ads quote a base salary and separately note '+ super', you can add the 12% Superannuation Guarantee rate (or your own rate if your employer pays more) to see the full remuneration package, which is the number that matters when comparing a job with a stated hourly rate to one advertised as an annual package inclusive of super.
Frequently asked questions
Does this include superannuation by default?
No. The base result is your gross wage from the hourly rate and hours entered. You can tick the option to add super on top at the current Superannuation Guarantee rate to see your total package value, matching how many employers advertise roles.
How do I account for unpaid leave or a shorter working year?
Enter the weeks you're actually paid, then subtract any unpaid leave weeks you expect to take, such as unpaid parental leave or an extended break. The calculator only annualises the weeks you're actually working and paid for.
Is this the same as my take-home pay?
No, this figure is gross pay before income tax, Medicare levy and any other withholding. Use a take-home pay calculator afterwards to see what actually lands in your bank account each pay cycle.
