Hourly to salary converter template

Free build guide: Hourly to salary converter for WordPress

This guide rebuilds the Hourly to salary converter from this site in Gravity Forms: 5 inputs, 6 live results and no submit button. Expect about 33 minutes by hand. The template above is the same form as an import file, and the bundle adds a PDF version of this guide with a screenshot of every setting, plus the stylesheet.

You will end up with:

• Annual salary
• Per month
• Per week
• Hourly rate
• Per month
• Per week

What you need

• Gravity Forms (any license) — Calculation fields and conditional logic are in core.

Everything here is core Gravity Forms. No add-ons.

1. Create the form

1. Go to Forms → New Form and name it Hourly to salary.
2. In Form Settings → Form Layout, set the CSS Class Name to fo-live-only. Step 3 uses it to hide the submit button.
3. Leave the form open in the editor; the fields come next.

2. Add the fields, in this order

Field IDs are assigned as you add fields. If yours come out differently, change the {Label:ID} references in the formulas to match your IDs. Settings not mentioned stay at their defaults.

1. Convert · Radio Buttons · ID 1
Custom CSS Class (Appearance tab) fo-segmented.

Choices (tick show values and enter each value):

• Hourly → salary — value hourly (selected by default)
• Salary → hourly — value salary

2. Hourly rate · Number · ID 2
Number Format Currency; Default Value 25; Conditional Logic (Advanced tab): Show this field if Convert is Hourly → salary..

3. Annual salary · Number · ID 3

4. Hours per week · Number · ID 4
Number Format 9,999.99; Default Value 40; Range min 1 max 168; Layout: half width, on the same row as its neighbour (drag the field beside it in the editor; no CSS class needed).

5. Weeks per year · Number · ID 5
Number Format 9,999.99; Default Value 52; Description “52 with paid time off; 50 if two weeks are unpaid.”; Range min 1 max 52; Layout: half width, on the same row as its neighbour (drag the field beside it in the editor; no CSS class needed).

6. Annual salary · Number · ID 6

{Hourly rate:2} * {Hours per week:4}

9. Hourly rate · Number · ID 9

{Annual salary:3} / ( {Hours per week:4} * {Weeks per year:5} )

{Annual salary:3} / 12

11. Per week · Number · ID 11
Number Format Currency; Layout: half width, on the same row as its neighbour (drag the field beside it in the editor; no CSS class needed); Custom CSS Class (Appearance tab) fo-result fo-result--sub; tick Enable Calculation, Rounding 2; Conditional Logic (Advanced tab): Show this field if Convert is Salary → hourly..

{Annual salary:3} / {Weeks per year:5}

3. Hide the submit button

The results are live, so nothing needs submitting. Add this filter to your theme’s functions.php or a code-snippets plugin; it hides the button on any form carrying the fo-live-only class:

add_filter( 'gform_submit_button', function ( $button, $form ) {
	return str_contains( (string) rgar( $form, 'cssClass' ), 'fo-live-only' ) ? '' : $button;
}, 10, 2 );

Or with CSS alone: .fo-live-only_wrapper .gform_footer { display: none; }

4. Put it on a page and make it look like this

Add the form to any page with the Gravity Forms block, or the shortcode [gravityform id="X" title="false" ajax="false"]. The form inherits your theme’s styles; the classes you set in step 2 are hooks for the look you see on this site:

• fo-result on a calculation field makes it the big teal result panel.
• fo-result fo-result--sub makes the smaller secondary figures.
• fo-segmented on a radio field turns it into a segmented switch.
• Two fields on one row is the editor’s own column layout: drag a field beside another and the row splits in half. No CSS class is needed, and the old gf_left_half Ready Classes are deprecated.

The bundle includes the two stylesheets that implement those classes, with notes on matching your brand colours. Without them the form still works; it just looks like your theme’s default Gravity Forms styling.

How the maths works is explained under “How it’s calculated” on the live Hourly to salary converter.
