How to Use This Tool

  1. Enter the annual salary you want to convert.
  2. Adjust hours per week if it is not a standard 40.
  3. Adjust weeks worked per year if you take unpaid time off.
  4. Hourly, weekly, biweekly, and monthly amounts update instantly.

How It Works

hourly rate = annual salary / (hours per week × weeks per year)

Weekly pay is the hourly rate times hours per week; biweekly doubles the weekly amount; monthly divides the annual salary by 12.

Example

A $52,000 annual salary at 40 hours per week for 52 weeks:

hourly = 52,000 / (40 × 52) = 52,000 / 2,080 = $25.00/hr, weekly = $1,000, monthly ≈ $4,333.33.

Benefits

  • Compare a salaried offer to an hourly job.
  • Adjust for part-time schedules or unpaid time off.
  • See weekly, biweekly, and monthly pay at a glance.

Important Notes

This tool provides pre-tax estimates only and is not tax, payroll, or financial advice. Actual take-home pay depends on tax withholding, benefits deductions, and your specific pay schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why 40 hours and 52 weeks by default?

40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year is the most common full-time schedule in the US, so it is used as a sensible default. Both fields are editable — change them to match your actual schedule, including unpaid time off.

Is this hourly rate before or after taxes?

This is a pre-tax (gross) estimate. It does not subtract federal, state, or local taxes, or any other deductions like health insurance or retirement contributions.

How is the monthly amount calculated?

Monthly pay is simply the annual salary divided by 12, regardless of how many weeks are in a given month. This matches how salaried pay is usually described, even though actual paychecks may differ slightly by pay schedule.

What is the difference between biweekly and semi-monthly pay?

Biweekly means every two weeks (26 paychecks a year), which this calculator estimates by doubling the weekly amount. Semi-monthly means twice a month (24 paychecks a year), which is not directly calculated here since it depends on exact pay dates.

Can I use this if I do not work a standard 5-day week?

Yes, just enter your actual average hours per week and weeks worked per year (subtracting unpaid time off) instead of the defaults.
