How to convert an hourly rate to a salary
Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work in a week, then by 52. A standard full-time week in Australia is 38 hours, which is 1,976 hours a year. So $40 an hour is $79,040 a year, or $1,520 a week before tax.
To go the other way, divide the yearly salary by 1,976. An $80,000 salary works out to about $40.49 an hour.

Casual rates are higher for a reason
Casual employees usually get a 25% casual loading on top of the base rate. It makes up for not getting paid annual leave, personal leave or notice. When you compare a casual job with a permanent one, take the loading off first, or use the casual option above.
From 1 July 2026 the national minimum wage is set by the Fair Work Commission's annual review. Many workers are paid under an award with a higher minimum, so check the Fair Work pay guides for your job.
Frequently asked questions
How much is $30 an hour annually in Australia?
At 38 hours a week for 52 weeks, $30 an hour is $59,280 a year before tax, or about $1,140 a week. After tax and Medicare that's roughly $49,900 a year.
How many working hours are in a year?
A full-time employee on 38 hours a week has 1,976 paid hours a year. Paid annual leave and public holidays are included in that, because you're paid for them.
Should I divide by 52 or by 48 weeks?
Use 52 if you're paid for annual leave and public holidays, which is normal for permanent employees. Contractors and casuals who aren't paid when they don't work should use the weeks they actually work, often 44 to 48.
