How the Salary Calculator Works

Enter an annual salary, or an hourly rate and the hours you work each week. The calculator converts the amount into every common pay period using these formulas:

Pay periodFormula
HourlyAnnual salary ÷ (hours per week × 52)
DailyAnnual salary ÷ 260 workdays
WeeklyAnnual salary ÷ 52
Bi-weeklyAnnual salary ÷ 26
Semi-monthlyAnnual salary ÷ 24
MonthlyAnnual salary ÷ 12

At 40 hours a week, that works out to 2,080 paid hours a year. If you enter an hourly rate instead, the annual salary is hourly rate × hours per week × 52.

Example: ,000 salary

At 40 hours a week, a ,000 salary equals about $36.06 an hour, $1,442.31 a week, $2,884.62 every two weeks, $3,125.00 twice a month, or $6,250.00 a month.

What these numbers do not include

All results are gross pay before taxes and deductions. They do not include overtime, bonuses, unpaid time off or benefits. To estimate pay after federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and state tax, use the Paycheck Calculator or the Take-Home Pay Calculator. If you are paid hourly with overtime, try the Hourly Pay Calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many work hours are in a year?

A full-time schedule of 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is 2,080 hours a year. Some employers use 2,087 hours (365.25 days ÷ 7 × 40). This calculator uses the hours per week you enter × 52.

How do I convert hourly pay to an annual salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by your weekly hours and by 52. For example, $25 an hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000 a year. That is $2,000 gross per bi-weekly paycheck, or $1,000 a week.

How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?

Divide your annual salary by the number of hours you work in a year. For a $60,000 salary at 40 hours a week: $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = about $28.85 an hour.

What is the difference between bi-weekly and semi-monthly pay?

Bi-weekly pay comes every two weeks, which is 26 paychecks a year, so two months each year have three paychecks. Semi-monthly pay comes twice a month (often on the 15th and the last day), which is 24 paychecks a year. Each semi-monthly check is slightly larger.

Does this salary calculator subtract taxes?

No. It converts gross pay only. To see estimated federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and state tax on your salary, use the Paycheck Calculator.
