How it works
A salary calculator converts pay between time units — hourly, weekly, monthly, and annual — so you can compare offers on the same basis. It scales by the number of hours you work per week and the standard 52 weeks per year, then divides down to the period you want.
Converting pay periods
Annual = hourly × hours/week × 52 Monthly = Annual ÷ 12 Hourly = Annual ÷ (hours/week × 52)
- hourly
- pay per hour
- hours/week
- usual hours worked weekly (40 full-time)
- 52
- weeks per year (2,080 hours at 40/week)
Worked example
- Hourly rate = $25
- Hours/week = 40
- Annual = 25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000
- Monthly = 52,000 ÷ 12 ≈ $4,333
$25/hr = $52,000/year ≈ $4,333/month (gross, before tax).
Good to know
- These figures are gross — actual take-home is lower after tax and deductions (see a paycheck calculator).
- A full-time year is usually taken as 2,080 hours (40 × 52); unpaid time off effectively lowers your real hourly rate.
- When comparing a salary to contract/hourly work, add the value of benefits (health, PTO, retirement match) — they can be worth 20–30% of base pay.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by 2,080 (40 hours x 52 weeks). For example, $25 per hour equals $52,000 a year full-time. For part-time work, use your actual weekly hours times 52.
What is the difference between gross salary and take-home pay?
Gross is your stated salary; take-home subtracts federal and state income tax, Social Security (6.2%), Medicare (1.45%), and benefit deductions. Net pay often lands around 70-80% of gross, depending on your situation.
How do I compare a salaried offer to an hourly one?
Convert both to annual figures, then factor in overtime eligibility (hourly roles get paid extra; many salaried roles don't), the value of benefits — often worth 20-30% on top of wages — and paid time off.
How do biweekly, semi-monthly, and monthly pay differ?
Biweekly means 26 paychecks a year (annual ÷ 26); semi-monthly means 24 (annual ÷ 24); monthly means 12. Biweekly schedules produce two months a year with a third paycheck.
Should I negotiate gross or net salary?
Always negotiate gross salary — net depends on your personal tax situation, filing status, and benefit elections, which the employer doesn't control. Gross is the comparable, contractual number.
