1. What is the Year to Hour Salary Calculator?

This calculator converts an annual salary in the Philippines to an equivalent hourly wage based on standard working hours. It helps employees and employers understand the hourly value of annual compensation packages.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple formula:

Where:

• Annual Salary — Total yearly compensation in Philippine Pesos (PHP)
• Working Hours Per Year — Total number of working hours in a year (default is 2080 for 40 hours/week × 52 weeks)

Explanation: The calculation divides the total annual compensation by the number of working hours to determine the hourly wage equivalent.

3. Importance of Hourly Rate Calculation

Details: Understanding your hourly rate helps in comparing job offers, negotiating salaries, budgeting personal finances, and ensuring fair compensation for overtime work.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your annual salary in PHP and the total working hours per year. The default of 2080 hours assumes a standard 40-hour work week with no time off.
