Salary Calculator

Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work each week, then by the weeks you work each year. At 25 dollars an hour, 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, that's 25 times 2,080, or 52,000 dollars a year. The tool does this the moment you type, and it works backward too, splitting an annual figure into hourly, weekly, and monthly pay.

Full time is usually counted as 2,080 hours, which is 40 hours a week across 52 weeks. If you take unpaid weeks off, drop the weeks-per-year number and the total falls with it. Part-time or overtime schedules shift the figure too, so the tool lets you set both hours per week and weeks per year, and it'll match your real schedule rather than assume full time.

Gross, meaning before tax and deductions. The calculator converts a pay rate between periods, but it doesn't withhold income tax, Social Security, or benefits, since those depend on where you live and your situation. Your take-home will be lower, so treat these figures as the headline pay, not the amount that lands in your account, since that's after withholding.

Divide the annual salary by 12. A 52,000 dollar salary is about 4,333 dollars a month before tax. Be careful not to confuse monthly with a biweekly paycheck: paid every two weeks means 26 checks a year, so each is the annual divided by 26, which is a little less than half a month. The tool shows both so you don't mix them up.

Biweekly means every two weeks, which is 26 paychecks a year. Semimonthly means twice a month, usually the 15th and the last day, which is 24 paychecks. They sound alike but the per-check amounts differ, since 26 checks are each smaller than 24. The calculator lists both, so you'll see exactly what each payday brings and you won't mix up the two.

Multiply the monthly figure by 12. A 4,000 dollar month is 48,000 dollars a year, before tax. The same idea covers the other periods: a weekly wage times 52, a biweekly paycheck times 26, and a daily rate times the days you work in a year. Set the tool's Per menu to the period you're paid in, and it'll fill every other line for you, so you won't have to run the math by hand.

Only the weeks you're actually paid count toward the year, so if you take unpaid time off, lower the weeks-per-year number. Drop it from 52 to 50 and a 25 dollar hour falls from 52,000 to 50,000 dollars a year. Paid vacation doesn't change anything, since you're still paid for those weeks. It's the same adjustment other tools label a holiday or vacation setting, and here it's just the weeks-per-year box.

Yes to both. There's no sign-up, no limit, and nothing to install, since it runs entirely on your side. The numbers you enter stay on your device and aren't sent anywhere. Bookmark it when you're comparing a job offer or quoting a contract rate, and you'll have the conversions a tap away.
