Open VAT Calculator →Why "paid weeks per year" matters
Most full-time EU employment contracts pay a consistent salary through statutory paid annual leave, so converting at 52 weeks/year is usually correct. Minimum statutory paid leave varies by country — for example, Germany requires at least 20 working days (based on a 5-day week), the Netherlands requires at least four times the weekly working hours, and Ireland requires at least 20 days — though most employers offer more in practice. If you're on an hourly or zero-hours contract without paid leave, reduce the "paid weeks" figure to match the weeks you actually expect to be paid.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert an hourly rate to an annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply by the number of paid weeks per year (52 if you are paid through holidays, fewer if not).
Should I use 52 weeks or fewer to convert to annual salary?
Use 52 weeks if your salary is paid consistently including during paid holiday leave, which is standard for most EU employment contracts. Use a lower number only if unpaid weeks apply, such as some freelance or zero-hours arrangements.
Is this the same as my net take-home pay?
No. This tool converts between pay periods only (hourly, weekly, monthly, annual) before tax. For take-home pay after tax and social security, use our EU Salary Calculator.
