Hourly to Annual Salary Calculator
Convert hourly pay to weekly, monthly, and annual. Or the other way around. Handles part-time, contract, and holiday adjustments.
How to use
- 1
Pick what you have — hourly, monthly, or annual. The calculator fills in all the others.
- 2
Adjust hours per week and weeks per year to match your situation (40h is desk-job standard, 48h is UAE Federal Labour Law standard).
- 3
All figures are gross (before tax/deductions). UAE has no personal income tax so this is also take-home for most expats.
Frequently asked questions
Hourly × hours per week × weeks per year. So AED 100/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = AED 208,000/year. The UAE Federal Labour Law standard work week is 48 hours, but most office jobs run 40.
Yes — when you take paid leave, you still get paid, so 'weeks per year' stays at 52. Only set it lower if you're billing as a contractor for fewer than 52 weeks per year.
Employees get paid annual leave, sick pay, end-of-service gratuity, and visa sponsorship. Contractors charge a higher rate to compensate. Rule of thumb: contractor hourly should be ~30-50% higher than equivalent employee hourly to cover lost benefits.
UAE Labour Law: overtime (beyond 8h/day or 48h/week) pays at 1.25× normal rate. Between 9pm and 4am: 1.5×. On Fridays/holidays: 1.5× plus a day off. Use the UAE Overtime Calculator on this site for the full math.
It is here. Some calculators use 'monthly = hourly × hours-per-week × 4.33' which gives a slightly different answer because months aren't all the same length. Annual ÷ 12 is the standard payroll calculation in UAE.
