From hourly rate to yearly salary

Converting your hourly wage to an annual salary makes it easier to compare offers, budget, and plan ahead. The annual figure shown assumes full-time hours over 52 weeks, though your real income depends on your province, your guaranteed hours, and vacation pay.

What counts as full-time?

Full-time work in Canada is typically 37.5 to 40 hours per week. Most provinces require employers to provide vacation pay — usually 4% of earnings, rising with years of service — which hourly workers receive on top of their wage, an important factor when comparing to a salaried role.

Overtime and extra hours

Overtime rules vary by province, but most require 1.5 times the regular rate after a daily or weekly threshold (often 8 hours a day or 40-44 a week). If you regularly work overtime, your actual annual earnings will exceed the straight-time figure calculated here.

How we calculate this

This estimate applies the official income tax bands and mandatory contributions in force for the 2026 tax year. We calculate tax on each band separately (not your whole salary at one rate), then subtract social contributions to arrive at your take-home pay. Figures are estimates for a standard single taxpayer with no additional allowances or deductions.

Data sources: rates are based on figures published by Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) — Federal and provincial tax brackets, CPP and EI contributions.
