How to Use the Salary Calculator

Converting Between Pay Periods

This calculator helps you understand your income across different time periods. Whether you're paid hourly, monthly, or annually, you can see what your salary translates to in other formats.

  1. Select your pay period (hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, or annual)
  2. Enter your salary amount for that period
  3. Adjust hours per week and weeks per year if different from standard (40 hours, 52 weeks)
  4. View your equivalent salary across all time periods

Standard Work Hours

The calculator uses default values of 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year, which are standard for full-time employment in many countries. However, you can adjust these:

  • Part-time work: Reduce hours per week (e.g., 20 hours for half-time)
  • Overtime: Increase hours per week if you regularly work overtime
  • Vacation time: Reduce weeks per year to account for unpaid leave (e.g., 50 weeks if you have 2 weeks unpaid vacation)
  • Contract work: Adjust weeks per year for seasonal or contract positions

Salary Calculations Explained

Hourly to Annual: Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year

Example: $25/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000/year

Annual to Hourly: Annual Salary ÷ Weeks per Year ÷ Hours per Week

Example: $52,000/year ÷ 52 weeks ÷ 40 hours = $25/hour

Monthly to Annual: Monthly Salary × 12 months

Example: $4,333.33/month × 12 = $52,000/year

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you convert hourly to annual salary?

To convert hourly wage to annual salary, multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply by the number of weeks you work per year (typically 52). Formula: Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × 52 weeks. For example, $25/hour × 40 hours/week × 52 weeks = $52,000/year.

What are the standard work hours assumptions?

This calculator uses default values of 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year, which are standard for full-time employment in most countries. However, these can be adjusted for part-time work, overtime, vacation time, or contract positions to match your specific work schedule.

How do I calculate part-time salary?

For part-time work, simply adjust the hours per week field to match your schedule. For example, if you work 20 hours per week instead of the standard 40, enter 20 in the hours per week field. The calculator will then compute accurate daily, weekly, monthly, and annual figures based on your part-time hours.

What about overtime pay rates?

This calculator shows base salary conversions at your regular pay rate. Overtime is typically paid at 1.5x or 2x your regular rate, which would need to be calculated separately. If you regularly work overtime, you can increase your hours per week to reflect total hours worked, but this won't account for the overtime premium.

What is the difference between gross and net salary?

This calculator shows gross salary (before taxes and deductions). Net salary is your actual take-home pay after federal and state taxes, Social Security, Medicare, health insurance, retirement contributions, and other deductions are withheld. Net salary is typically 20-30% less than gross salary depending on your location and deductions.

How do I compare salaries across different time periods?

Enter your known salary in any time period (hourly, monthly, annual, etc.), and the calculator instantly shows equivalent amounts in all other periods. This helps you compare job offers, understand your total compensation, or see how a raise impacts different pay periods.

Should I include benefits in my total compensation?

This calculator shows only base salary. Benefits like health insurance, retirement matching, bonuses, stock options, and other perks add significant value to your total compensation package but are not included in these calculations. When comparing job offers, consider the full value of all benefits in addition to base salary.

How do freelancers calculate their hourly rate?

Freelancers should account for non-billable hours, business expenses, self-employment taxes, and desired annual income. A common approach is to take your desired annual salary, divide by billable hours (typically 1000-1500 per year for freelancers), then multiply by 1.5-2x to cover overhead, taxes, and benefits you'd receive as an employee.
