Comparing an hourly wage to a salaried offer requires putting both in the same terms. This calculator converts an hourly rate into its annual and monthly equivalent.
Salaried roles almost always include paid time off; hourly roles don't always. Using 52 weeks assumes no unpaid time off — lower this number if you expect unpaid weeks.
This assumes a flat hourly rate for all hours entered — calculate overtime hours separately if your rate differs for extra hours.
Service-Public.gouv.fr — barème de l'impôt sur le revenu 2026 (loi de finances promulguée le 19 février 2026) — retrieved July 18, 2026.
EXACT TRANSFORMATION, NOT AN APPROXIMATION: the real barème applies to 'revenu net imposable' (gross minus a flat 10% forfaitaire deduction for professional expenses). The bracket thresholds/rates here are mathematically transformed (taxable threshold T → gross threshold T/0.9; taxable rate R% → gross-equivalent rate R%×0.9) so applying them directly to gross income reproduces the identical result — verified by computing both the two-step (deduct-then-bracket) and one-step (transformed-bracket) methods and confirming agreement to within a few cents at every income level tested. Models a single person (1 part fiscale) only — married couples and families use the quotient familial, which changes results significantly. Approximates employee cotisations sociales as CSG (déductible + non déductible), CRDS, and a representative combined retirement contribution rate rather than itemizing every individual payroll line (vieillesse base, AGIRC-ARRCO tranches, etc. separately). Employees haven't paid a share of unemployment insurance (assurance chômage) since 2019 — entirely employer-funded now, correctly omitted here. The barème progressif is revalorized every year (usually by inflation) via the loi de finances, typically finalized in December/February.
