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.
IRAS publishes updated brackets, rebates, and CPF contribution rates/ceilings periodically. Income tax + standard employee CPF contribution only (Singapore Citizens/PRs). Does not apply to Employment Pass holders (who don't contribute to CPF), does not include personal reliefs, and does not include any Personal Income Tax Rebate. Only Citizens/PRs contribute to CPF — Employment Pass holders don't, so the CPF levy is conditional on the residencyStatus selector. Both groups still pay the same resident income tax brackets modeled here (a simplification for EP holders who meet the 183-day residency test — non-resident EP holders taxed at a flat 15% aren't modeled). This is an educational estimate, not tax advice or a substitute for a qualified advisor.
