What is the Salary Calculator?
A salary calculator that converts between hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly, and annual pay; estimates take-home after taxes in 9 countries; and adjusts for cost-of-living when comparing global offers. The conversions are exact; the tax math is an approximation for median earners (real-world tax depends on filing status, deductions, brackets).
Most online salary calculators are US-only. We cover US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, India, Pakistan, and UAE -useful for remote workers, contractors negotiating global rates, and anyone comparing what a salary actually buys across borders.

Real use cases
- You got a $50/hr contract offer. Hourly → annual = $104K. Take-home in US after FICA + federal ≈ $79K. Now compare to your salary job.
- You're moving from London (£70K) to Dubai (AED equivalent). UK take-home ≈ £49K, UAE 0% tax = full AED gross. Calculate equivalent purchasing power.
- Offer letter says $100K annual gross. Pakistan tax slabs put your take-home around $82K. Plan accordingly.
- Junior dev in India earning ₹12 LPA wants to know what equivalent salary in US would feel similar. COL adjustment gives the answer.
- Negotiating a remote role for a US company while in Pakistan. Calculator shows what hourly rate in USD matches your target PKR take-home.
- Trying to decide between Berlin (€80K) and Toronto (CAD 95K). Take-home + COL together show which actually leaves you better off.
Frequently asked questions
Is the salary calculator free?▾
Yes. Unlimited use, no signup, no daily cap. All math runs in your browser. Salary.com is free but ad-supported and US-only; we cover 9 countries with cost-of-living comparison.
Which countries are supported?▾
Nine: United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, India, Pakistan, UAE. Effective tax rates and social-security contributions are baked in (rough averages, not personalized advice).
How accurate are the tax rates?▾
They're approximate averages for median earners. Real tax depends on filing status, deductions, credits, state/province, and specific tax brackets. Use this as a planning estimate, not for filing.
What's the difference between gross and net?▾
Gross is what your offer letter says. Net (take-home) is what hits your bank after income tax + social security deductions. The gap is usually 25-45% depending on country.
Can I convert hourly to annual?▾
Yes. Type any frequency (hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly, annual), all the others compute. Hourly assumes standard 40-hour week, 52 weeks/year.
What's cost-of-living adjustment?▾
It shows what your salary is worth in another country, normalized to local cost of living. $100K in NYC has the buying power of about $30K in Karachi. Useful for remote workers comparing global offers.
Are bonuses or stock factored in?▾
Not directly. Type total gross including expected bonus + RSU vesting if you want a full picture. The calculator handles whatever number you give it as 'gross'.
Why is Germany's effective rate so high?▾
Germany combines income tax (progressive up to 45%) with heavy social contributions (pension + health + unemployment + care ≈ 20% employee share). Effective combined for middle-income hits 40-50%.
Does UAE really have 0% income tax?▾
Yes for individuals (no personal income tax). UAE nationals contribute to pension; expats do not. Corporate tax exists since 2023 (9%) but doesn't affect personal salary.
Is my salary data private?▾
Yes. The whole calculator runs in your browser. We never see your numbers. No log, no analytics on the input.
