Why use the Salary to Hourly Wage Calculator

The average wage across Canada and the United States is between $15 and $25 per hour. A lot of people don’t know how much they are earning because they receive a weekly, monthly, or yearly salary, and only focus on the guaranteed paycheque every month.

It’s important to know how much you’re earning per hour at your job so you can figure out if you need to ask for a raise or find a different field to work in. If your salary ends up being less than $15 an hour for all the hours you work, then it’s not worth it. It might be time to quit that job and find a different field to work in.

The reason you might need to calculate your hourly wage is because a yearly salary of $30,000 seems somewhat high when you only look at the yearly number. But when you calculate how many hours you work for that $30,000, the number could be under $10 an hour, which is not ideal if you’re not a student or earning an education.

Getting a paycheque is important to cover bills and keep up with rising costs. These days, with inflation and higher grocery prices, it’s essential to earn as much money as possible, especially for the hours you’re working. No one should work for free—or nearly free.

On the other hand, if you get a lot of days off and still get paid through your Christmas or spring break, sometimes a monthly or yearly salary is worth it. Our calculator will let you know if you are getting underpaid or overpaid.

Final Thoughts

In my opinion, salaries should exceed $50,000 or more. Otherwise, the job might not be worth it unless you’re an apprentice or getting educated for a short period of time. Get your numbers right with our salary-to-hourly calculator and make sure you know what you’re getting paid for.
