Working Days Breakdown
What does this calculator do?
Enter your gross monthly salary to instantly see what you truly earn per day, hour, week, and year. Switch to Advanced Mode to factor in income tax, pension contributions, social security, and your actual working days after vacation.
Why does your daily rate matter?
Knowing your real daily earnings helps you evaluate job offers, freelance rates, and financial decisions. A $5,000/month salary sounds different when you realize it's $26/hour โ or $19/hour after taxes.
How are daily earnings calculated?
Your annual gross salary is divided by your actual working days (accounting for weekends, PTO, and public holidays). This gives a realistic per-day figure rather than a theoretical one.
What about taxes and deductions?
Select your country for suggested average rates, or manually dial in your exact income tax, pension, and social security percentages. Net figures are shown separately from gross.
