How the conversion works

Weekly pay is the starting point. An hourly rate times your hours gives weekly pay; weekly pay times paid weeks gives the yearly salary, and a month is a twelfth of the year. A fortnight is two weeks and a day is the week divided by the days you work.

Example. €15.00 an hour for 39 hours is €585.00 a week. Over 52 weeks that is €30,420 a year, or €2,535.00 a month.

Questions

How many working hours are in a year?

What is the minimum wage in Ireland?
The national minimum wage is €14.15 an hour in 2026. Budget 2027 announced €14.94 from 1 January 2027. Workers under 18 get 70% of the adult rate, at 18 they get 80% and at 19 90%.
How is monthly pay worked out from an hourly rate?
Weekly pay times the number of paid weeks gives the yearly figure, and monthly pay is a twelfth of that. A month is not four weeks: 52 weeks divided by 12 is 4.33 weeks.
How many paid weeks do I enter?
Use 52 if your annual leave and public holidays are paid, which is the case for most employees. Use fewer if you are paid only for the weeks you work, for example on a fixed term contract with unpaid breaks.
Is the hourly rate before or after tax?
Before tax. Pay rates and salaries in Ireland are quoted gross, before income tax, USC and PRSI. The take-home column shows what a single PAYE employee keeps.
