How it is calculated
Daily wage = monthly salary ÷ day divisor. Hourly wage = daily wage ÷ working hours per day.
Example
Inputs: Monthly salary = 6,000, Days to divide by = 30 days, Working hours per day = 8 h. Result: Daily wage: 200.00; Hourly wage: 25.00; Annual salary: 72,000.00.
Limits and caveats
- Whether to divide by 30 or by working days depends on your contract or local labour law.
- Check whether the wage is the basic salary alone or includes allowances.
Questions about this tool
Why divide the salary by 30?
Many Gulf labour systems and contracts treat a month as 30 days for the daily wage, whatever the month length.
What is the daily wage on 6,000 a month?
Divided by 30 it is 200 a day, and over 8 hours that is 25 an hour.
When should I divide by working days only?
When your contract says so, for example 22 or 26 working days a month. The daily wage is higher because the divisor is smaller.
