Formula: Monthly salary × 12 ÷ 52 ÷ weekly hours = gross hourly rate. Daily rate based on 7.6 hours (38-hour week ÷ 5 days). All rates are gross before income tax and Medicare Levy. Use the calculator above for any monthly salary and any weekly hours.
The formula for converting a monthly salary to an hourly rate in Australia is:
Hourly rate = Monthly salary × 12 ÷ 52 ÷ weekly hours
You can also use a simpler shortcut based on average monthly hours:
The 164.3 figure comes from 38 hours × 52 weeks ÷ 12 months = 164.33 average monthly hours. The 173.3 figure uses 40 hours instead.
All figures above are gross (before-tax) hourly rates. Use the calculator above for any monthly amount and any weekly hours combination.
The Australian National Minimum Wage was $24.10 per hour as of July 2025 (applying from 1 July 2025 under the Fair Work Commission Annual Wage Review). For a 38-hour week, this equals approximately $916 per week or $3,966 per month. If your monthly-to-hourly conversion produces a rate below $24.10/hour, verify that any role meets the applicable minimum wage or award rate for your industry and classification.

Multiply your monthly salary by 12, then divide by 52 weeks, then divide by your weekly hours. For a 38-hour week: Monthly salary × 12 ÷ 52 ÷ 38. Or use the shortcut: Monthly salary ÷ 164.3. Example: $7,000/month ÷ 164.3 = $42.54/hour.
