Quick answer: A monthly salary of 10,000 is 120,000 a year; at 40 hours and 5 days a week for 52 weeks that is 2,307.69 a week, 461.54 a day and 57.69 an hour.
How it's calculated
Everything goes through the annual amount: annual = monthly × 12 = weekly × weeks a year = daily × days a week × weeks a year = hourly × hours a week × weeks a year.
52 weeks a year counts paid leave as worked time, which is how salaried pay is usually compared. To see what you earn per hour actually worked, lower the weeks by your weeks of leave.
Saudi and UAE labour law set normal working time at 8 hours a day or 48 hours a week, less in Ramadan. For end-of-service pay, the daily wage is usually the monthly wage ÷ 30: see the Saudi gratuity calculator and UAE gratuity calculator.
Worked examples
- 10,000 a month, 40 h, 5 days, 52 weeks: 120,000 ÷ 2,080 h = 57.69 an hour
- 50 an hour, 48 h a week, 52 weeks: 50 × 2,496 = 124,800 a year, 10,400 a month
Frequently asked questions
Is this before or after deductions?
Before. Social insurance (GOSI, GPSSA) and any tax or other deductions are taken from these amounts.
Why does the daily rate differ from my contract?
Contracts in the Gulf often use 30 days a month for a daily rate (monthly ÷ 30). This calculator uses working days; set days a week to 7 and weeks to 52.14 for a calendar-day rate.
How many working hours are in a year?
40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080; 48 hours × 52 weeks = 2,496.
How do I turn an hourly rate into a monthly salary?
Multiply by hours a week and weeks a year, then divide by 12. 50 an hour at 40 hours for 52 weeks is 104,000 a year, or 8,666.67 a month.
Does it include overtime or bonuses?
No. It converts one regular pay figure. Add regular allowances to the pay amount if you want them included.
Is paid leave counted?
With 52 weeks a year, yes: paid holidays count as paid weeks. Lower the weeks if you aren't paid for time off.
