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.
Why 'weeks per year' matters
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.
Frequently asked questions
This assumes a flat hourly rate for all hours entered — calculate overtime hours separately if your rate differs for extra hours.
EXACT TRANSFORMATION, NOT A FURTHER APPROXIMATION: the real scaglioni apply to 'reddito imponibile' (RAL minus INPS employee contributions, ≈9.19%). Bracket thresholds/rates here are mathematically transformed so applying them directly to RAL reproduces the identical result — verified against a published worked example to within €1. Uses representative national-average regional/municipal surtax rates (1.23% regional, 0.50% municipal pre-transformation), NOT a specific Comune's actual rate — real rates range from 0.70% to over 2% regionally alone. Does not model the detrazione lavoro dipendente (employment income tax credit), which varies by income level — this calculator's estimate may run slightly higher than real IRPEF netta as a result. IRPEF scaglioni are set by the annual Legge di Bilancio (typically finalized in December). Regional and municipal surtaxes are set independently by each region/comune. This is an educational estimate, not tax advice — verify against your Comune's published addizionale rate and a commercialista for a precise figure.
