Everything is calculated in your browser: no data is sent anywhere. Indicative result: the applicable collective agreement and your payroll consultant have the final word.
How the calculation works
- 1 From monthly pay: hourly rate = monthly pay ÷ the CCNL's hourly divisor.
- 2 From annual pay (RAL): hourly rate = annual pay ÷ (weekly hours × 52).
- 3 The result is gross: contributions and taxes are calculated on the payslip. For overtime, use the dedicated calculator.
Frequently asked questions
What is the hourly divisor?
The number you divide monthly pay by to get the hourly rate. The collective agreement sets it: for example 168 in the Confcommercio Terziario CCNL (40 hours), 173 in the metalworking industry CCNL.
Is the gross hourly rate what the employee takes home?
No: it is before contributions and taxes. The net amount comes from the payslip.
Why multiply by 52 when starting from annual pay?
Because annual pay covers the whole year, with vacation, holidays and the extra monthly payments: 52 weeks times weekly hours are the hours the annual pay is spread over. The result can differ from the one from monthly pay and the divisor (it is usually higher when there are 13th and 14th months), because the divisor starts from monthly pay alone.
