Hourly Rate FAQ

What are standard work hours in Canada?

Standard work hours are 40 hours per week (8 hours per day, 5 days per week) for federally regulated employees. Most provinces follow similar standards, though some like British Columbia and Ontario use 44 hours per week before overtime kicks in. Quebec uses 40 hours. The annual standard is typically 2,080 hours (40 hours x 52 weeks).

How does overtime affect my hourly rate conversion?

This calculator uses your regular hourly rate for conversion. Overtime in Canada is typically paid at 1.5 times your regular rate after 44 hours per week (varies by province). If you regularly work overtime, your effective hourly rate will be higher than the base rate shown here. Use our Overtime Calculator for a more detailed analysis.

What is the minimum wage by province?

As of 2025, minimum wages vary by province: British Columbia $17.85/hr, Alberta $15.00/hr, Ontario $17.20/hr, Quebec $15.75/hr, and the federal minimum is $17.75/hr for federally regulated workers. Several provinces index their minimum wage to inflation, so rates increase annually. Check your provincial labour board for the most current rate.

Should I include vacation time in weeks per year?

It depends on how you think of your pay. If you receive paid vacation, keep 52 weeks since you are paid for the full year. If you are a contractor or do not receive paid vacation, reduce the weeks to reflect actual working weeks (e.g., 50 weeks for 2 weeks unpaid vacation). In Canada, statutory minimum vacation is 2 weeks (3 weeks after 5 years in most provinces).

How do I convert a salary offer to hourly?

Divide the annual salary by the total hours you will work. For a standard 40-hour week over 52 weeks, divide by 2,080. For example, a $60,000 salary equals $28.85/hour. This helps compare salaried positions with hourly contract work. Remember that salaried positions often include benefits (health, dental, pension) worth 15-25% of salary.

Understanding Hourly Rates in Canada

How to convert between hourly, daily, and annual pay in Canada

How do you convert an annual salary to an hourly rate?

Divide your annual salary by the number of working hours in a year. A standard full-time year is 2,080 hours (40 hours per week times 52 weeks). On a $60,000 salary, your hourly rate is $60,000 / 2,080 = $28.85 per hour. If you work 37.5 hours per week, use 1,950 hours instead, giving $30.77 per hour.

What is the minimum wage across Canada?

Minimum wage varies by province. As of 2025, Ontario is $17.20, British Columbia is $17.40, Alberta is $15.00, and the federal minimum (for federally regulated industries) is $17.30. Some provinces also have different rates for liquor servers, students, or specific industries. Minimum wages are adjusted regularly, usually annually.

How do taxes affect your effective hourly rate?

Your take-home hourly rate is lower than your gross rate because of income tax, CPP, and EI deductions. On a $30 per hour gross rate ($62,400 annual), a typical Ontario worker might take home about $22 per hour after all deductions. Use this calculator to find your exact net hourly rate based on your province and circumstances.

How does overtime affect your hourly rate?

In most provinces, overtime is paid at 1.5 times your regular hourly rate after a set threshold — usually 44 hours per week in Ontario and 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week in British Columbia. If your regular rate is $25 per hour, overtime is $37.50 per hour. Some provinces also require double time after additional thresholds.

Should you include benefits when comparing hourly rates?

Yes. When comparing a salaried position to a contract or hourly job, factor in the value of benefits. Employer-paid health insurance, pension contributions, paid vacation, and sick days can be worth 15% to 30% of your salary. A $30/hour job with full benefits may be equivalent to a $38/hour contract with no benefits.

What is the average hourly wage in Canada?

As of 2025, the average hourly wage for all employees in Canada is about $34 to $36 per hour. However, this varies hugely by industry and region. Professionals in tech, finance, and engineering often earn $50 to $100+ per hour, while service and retail workers may earn closer to minimum wage. Your specific rate depends on your skills, experience, and location.

How do statutory holidays affect hourly workers?

Hourly workers in Canada are entitled to public holiday pay for statutory holidays. If you do not work the holiday, you receive an average day's pay. If you work the holiday, you typically receive your regular pay plus premium pay (usually 1.5 times your rate). There are nine to twelve statutory holidays per year depending on your province.
