Worked example: €2,500 net a month
- Working days in a year: 5 days × 52 weeks = 260, minus 15 paid days off = 245 days.
- Working weeks in a year: 245 ÷ 5 = 49 weeks.
- Working hours per month: 49 weeks × 40 h ÷ 12 = 163.3 hours.
- Hourly wage: €2,500 ÷ 163.3 h = €15.31 an hour, or €122.45 per working day.
Why paid days off raise your hourly wage
Your salary is also paid for vacation days and public holidays, so each hour you actually work earns more. Counting all 52 weeks gives €14.42; taking the days off into account gives €15.31.

Frequently asked questions
How many working hours are in a month?
At 40 hours a week a month has 40 h × 4.33 weeks = 173.2 working hours. Paid days off lower that: with 37 days off a year (for example 28 vacation days and 9 public holidays) it is 148.7 hours.
How do I convert an hourly wage into a monthly salary?
Multiply the hourly wage by your working hours in a month. €15.00 an hour at 40 hours a week is €15.00 × 173.2 h = €2,598 a month.
What is the minimum wage in Germany in 2026?
Since 1 January 2026 the statutory minimum wage is €13.90 gross an hour, about €2,407 a month at 40 hours a week. On 1 January 2027 it rises to €14.60. It is a gross figure: to compare your pay with it, enter your gross salary in the calculator instead of your net one.
How many hours can I work in a mini-job?
In 2026 a German mini-job may pay up to €603 a month. At the minimum wage of €13.90 that is at most €603 ÷ €13.90 = 43.4 hours a month, about 10 hours a week. Earn more per hour and the limit is reached in fewer hours.
