Over the past decade, several works have used the ratio between total (rest 8-1000 mu m) infrared and radio (rest 1.4 GHz) luminosity in star-forming galaxies (q(IR)), often referred to as the infrared-radio correlation (IRRC), to calibrate the radio emission as a star formation rate (SFR) indicator. Previous studies constrained the evolution of q(IR) with redshift, finding a mild but significant decline that is yet to be understood. Here, for the first time, we calibrate q(IR) as a function of both stellar mass (M-star) and redshift, starting from an M-star-selected sample of > 400 000 star-forming galaxies in the COSMOS field, identified via (NUV-r)/(r-J) colours, at redshifts of 0.1
