How to use
Enter your salary amount and select the pay period it represents (e.g. $75,000 per year). All equivalent pay periods appear instantly below.
If you work non-standard hours, expand Working assumptions and adjust hours per day, days per week, or weeks per year to match your actual schedule. This affects hourly, daily and weekly calculations.
Use cases
- Comparing a salaried job offer (annual) with a freelance rate (hourly)
- Converting a job listing salary to a monthly figure to budget against rent
- Checking if a raise brings your hourly rate above a target
- Comparing part-time and full-time offers on the same scale
- Calculating contractor rates to match a desired annual income
Limitations
All figures are gross (pre-tax). Income taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and other deductions are not calculated.
Overtime, bonuses, benefits, and variable pay are not included. The calculator assumes a fixed salary for all periods.
Frequently asked questions
How does the salary to hourly conversion work?
The calculator converts your salary to an annual figure first, then divides by the total hours worked per year (hours/day × days/week × weeks/year). The default assumption is 8 hours/day, 5 days/week, 52 weeks/year = 2,080 hours/year.
What does "biweekly" mean?
Biweekly means every two weeks — 26 pay periods per year. This is the most common payroll schedule in the US.
Does this include taxes?
No — all figures are gross (before tax). The calculator shows your pre-tax pay in different time units. Your take-home pay depends on your tax bracket, deductions, and location.
Why do my numbers look slightly off?
Results are based on the working assumption you set. If your employer calculates pay differently (e.g., 260 working days per year instead of 261), there may be slight differences. Adjust the hours/day, days/week, and weeks/year fields to match your situation.
What is the standard number of working hours per year?
The most common assumption in the US is 2,080 hours (8h × 5d × 52w). Some calculations use 2,087 hours to account for the extra partial week in most years.
