Hourly wage calculator for Germany

A monthly or annual salary does not always show the real value of a job offer. Working hours, bonuses and the selected period can change the hourly equivalent significantly.

Use this calculator to convert salary and working time into an estimated hourly wage for Germany.

Why hourly wage matters

Two offers can look similar by salary but differ by working hours. Hourly wage shows the gross value of one hour of work and makes offers easier to compare.

  • Compare monthly salary with working hours.
  • Include annual bonuses if relevant.
  • Use it for full-time and part-time comparisons.

How is hourly wage calculated?

The basic calculation divides the salary amount by the working hours in the relevant period. If the salary is entered monthly, monthly hours are used; if it is entered annually, annual hours are used.

  • Choose the correct salary period.
  • Specify whether working hours are monthly or annual.
  • Add extra payments in the annual bonus field.
