How to use
Enter your annual salary or hourly rate and the calculator instantly shows your pay broken down across all common pay periods. Adjust hours per week (default 40) and weeks per year (default 52) to match your actual schedule. Use the tabs to switch between converting from salary or from hourly rate.
Formula
Examples
Standard full-time salary
A $60,000 annual salary with a standard 40-hour work week over 52 weeks equals $28.85/hour. That breaks down to $230.77/day, $1,153.85/week, $2,307.69/biweekly, and $5,000/month.
Part-time with overtime
Working 30 hours/week for 48 weeks at $20/hour yields $28,800 annually. This is useful for comparing part-time positions or factoring in unpaid vacation weeks.
Frequently asked questions
How many work hours are in a year?
A standard work year is 2,080 hours (40 hours/week x 52 weeks). If you take 2 weeks unpaid vacation, use 50 weeks (2,000 hours) for a more accurate calculation.
Does this calculator account for taxes?
No. This converts gross (pre-tax) figures only. Your take-home pay depends on federal and state income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and any deductions or benefits.
How do I account for overtime?
Overtime is typically paid at 1.5x your regular hourly rate for hours over 40/week in the US. This calculator shows your base rate. Multiply the hourly result by 1.5 to estimate overtime pay.
Why does biweekly pay not equal exactly half of monthly?
Biweekly pay is every 2 weeks (26 paychecks/year), while monthly is calendar-based (12 paychecks/year). Biweekly = weekly x 2, monthly = annual / 12. They produce slightly different amounts because months vary in length.
