Q: How many weeks should I use?

Salaried employees are usually paid for all 52 weeks including holidays, so 52 is the default. If you only work part of the year, lower the weeks to match.

At €20.00 per hour for 40 hours a week over 52 weeks, that's €41,600 a year (about €3,467 a month).

How the hourly to annual salary calculation works

Converting an hourly wage to a yearly figure is simple arithmetic — the trick is choosing realistic hours and weeks. Your gross annual pay is:

Annual = Hourly rate × Hours per week × Weeks per year
