1. What is the Salary Calculator?

This calculator converts hourly wage to annual salary in Ontario using the standard ADP tool calculation method. It helps employees and employers estimate yearly earnings based on hourly pay and weekly hours.

The calculator uses the standard salary equation:

Where:

• Hourly Wage — Pay rate in Canadian dollars per hour
• Hours per Week — Number of hours worked each week
• 52 — Number of weeks in a year

Explanation: The equation multiplies your hourly rate by weekly hours, then multiplies by 52 weeks to estimate annual earnings before taxes and deductions.
