How the conversion works
Annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks worked per year. A full-time week in Australia is usually 38 ordinary hours, so $40 an hour for 52 weeks is $79,040 a year, and a $100,000 salary works out at about $50.61 an hour.
Permanent employees are paid for 52 weeks, including annual leave and public holidays. Casual employees are only paid for hours worked, so enter the weeks you actually expect to work. Casual rates normally include a loading to make up for the lack of paid leave.

Frequently asked questions
How many working hours are there in a year?
A full-time employee on 38 hours a week is paid for 1,976 hours a year (38 × 52). That includes paid annual leave and public holidays.
Should I use 52 weeks or fewer?
Use 52 if you are a permanent employee, because leave is paid. If you are casual or a contractor, subtract the weeks you expect to take off without pay, including public holidays.
Does the hourly rate include super?
Usually not. Super is normally paid on top of an hourly rate for employees. Check your contract or award, because some rates are quoted inclusive of super.
