Your pay
Monthly × 12 isn’t always the annual figure
Companies pay bonuses, holiday pay, and incentives on very different schedules, so multiplying a monthly paycheck by 12 often misses the contracted annual salary. Some employers even split the annual salary over 13 or 14 payments a year instead of 12.
Match gross to gross
A job posting’s salary is almost always gross (before tax), while the amount that lands in your account is net (after tax and deductions). Comparing your net paycheck to a gross salary figure makes your pay look lower than it really is. Reversing net pay back to a gross salary would require undoing taxes and deductions, which vary a lot country to country — this tool works with gross figures only.
Compare total compensation when negotiating
The base salary alone misses a lot. Whether severance or a 13th/14th-month payment is included in the quoted figure, the share that comes from bonuses versus base pay, and non-taxable allowances or benefits all matter for a fair comparison between offers.

Frequently asked questions
QDoes this account for taxes?
No — this tool works entirely in gross (pre-tax) figures. Tax rules vary too much by country to build a reliable net-to-gross reversal into one calculator.
QWhat if my bonus isn’t a fixed number of months’ pay?
Estimate the closest number of months’ worth it adds up to, or add the exact bonus amount using the "other annual pay" field instead.
