How to Use This Salary Calculator

Pay is the same money counted in different units. Start from your hourly rate: multiply by your hours per week to get weekly pay, by 52 weeks to get the annual figure, and divide the annual figure by 12 for the monthly amount. The calculator works backwards too — enter a monthly or yearly amount and it finds the hourly rate. Set your real hours per week and weeks per year (excluding unpaid time off) to get honest numbers.

Formula Used

Annual pay = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year. Weekly = hourly × hours per week; monthly = annual ÷ 12; daily = hourly × 8.

Worked Example

Example: $30 per hour · 40 hours per week · 52 weeks per year

  1. Weekly pay = $30 × 40 = $1,200.00.
  2. Annual pay = $1,200 × 52 = $62,400.00.
  3. Monthly pay = $62,400 ÷ 12 = $5,200.00; a single 8-hour day is $240.00.

Annual: $62,400.00

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I account for unpaid time off?

Lower the weeks per year. If you take two unpaid weeks, use 50 instead of 52, and the annual figure will reflect it.

Does this include tax?

No. This is gross pay — what you earn before income tax, social security and other deductions. Your take-home pay will be lower; use the income tax calculator for a rough federal estimate.

Hourly or salary — which is better?

Hourly pay usually earns overtime, while a salary is fixed however many hours you work. Compare the hourly equivalent of a salary offer with the hours you will really work before deciding.
