About Salary Calculator
Convert pay between hourly, weekly, monthly and annual figures so offers quoted differently can be compared on the same basis.
Comparing offers on salary alone is the most common mistake in this area. Total compensation includes employer pension or retirement contributions, health insurance, bonus structure, equity, holiday allowance and any allowances โ and these differ enough between employers that a lower headline salary can be worth meaningfully more. An extra few percent in pension contributions is real money with real compounding.
Cost of living matters as much as the number when comparing across locations. A salary that is 30% higher in a city where housing costs twice as much leaves you worse off in practice. Compare what remains after housing and commuting rather than the gross figure.
For negotiation, a range from several sources beats a single figure. Published salary data lags the market, varies by company size and industry, and often mixes seniority levels within one job title. Triangulate before anchoring yourself to a number in a conversation โ and remember that the first figure named tends to anchor the whole discussion.

Frequently asked questions
How do I compare two offers properly?
On total compensation, not salary. Include pension or retirement contributions, health cover, bonus, equity and holiday allowance. A lower headline salary with better benefits is frequently worth more.
How do I compare salaries in different cities?
Compare what remains after housing and commuting rather than gross pay. A 30% higher salary where housing costs twice as much leaves you worse off in real terms.
How reliable is published salary data?
Directionally useful, precisely unreliable. It lags the market, varies by company size and industry, and often mixes seniority levels under one title. Use several sources to build a range.
Does this show take-home pay after tax?
It converts between pay frequencies. Take-home depends on your tax code, allowances, pension contributions and local rates โ use an income tax calculator for your specific jurisdiction for a net figure.
