Germany Hourly to Annual Salary Calculator

Annual gross = hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks per year Annualising an hourly rate is a straight multiplication, but the paid-weeks figure is where estimates diverge: 52 assumes every week is paid, while contractors who take unpaid leave should reduce it. The deduction percentage gives an indicative net figure.

Germany Comparing an hourly contract against a salaried offer requires both on the same annual basis, including the weeks you will not be paid for.

This calculator takes 4 inputs: Hourly rate (EUR), Hours worked per week, Paid weeks per year, Tax and deductions. The pre-filled defaults are a realistic starting point — replace them with figures from your own environment for a result you can act on.
