Salary Calculator
Convert pay between hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly.
How to use Salary Calculator
- Enter your pay and the period it covers (hour, week, month, year…).
- Set your hours and days per week.
- Read the same pay for every period. Add unpaid holidays or vacation days to see the reduced yearly figure.
How it works
A full year is taken as 52 weeks. With 40 hours a week that is 2,080 hours, so yearly pay = hourly × 2,080, monthly = yearly ÷ 12, twice-monthly = yearly ÷ 24, and two-weekly = weekly × 2 (26 pay periods). Daily pay = hourly × (hours per week ÷ days per week).
If some holidays or vacation days are unpaid, enter them. The adjusted column multiplies by (working days − days off) ÷ working days, where working days = days per week × 52. Leave both at 0 if your time off is paid, which is the usual case for salaried staff.
Example
25 an hour at 40 hours a week: 25 × 2,080 = 52,000 a year, 4,333.33 a month, 2,000 every two weeks and 200 a day. With 10 unpaid holidays and 15 unpaid vacation days, 235 of 260 days are worked: 47,000 a year.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert hourly pay to a yearly salary?
Multiply by the hours you work in a year. At 40 hours a week: hourly × 2,080. A quick estimate is to double the hourly rate and add three zeros (25 → about 50,000).
How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?
Divide by yearly hours: salary ÷ (hours per week × 52). 60,000 at 40 hours a week is 28.85 an hour.
What is the difference between biweekly and semi-monthly pay?
Biweekly is every two weeks: 26 pay days a year. Semi-monthly is twice a month: 24 pay days. The yearly total is the same; each biweekly cheque is smaller.
Is this before or after tax?
Before tax and deductions (gross). Take-home pay depends on your country, state and personal situation, which a general calculator cannot know.
Limitations
- Gross pay only: no income tax, social security, pension or benefit deductions.
- Uses 52 weeks per year; a calendar year is 52 weeks and one or two days.
