How to use the salary calculator
- Enter your pay and choose what it is per: an hour, a day, a pay period, a month or a year.
- Set the hours and days you work in a normal week. Part-time and four-day schedules work too.
- If some holidays or vacation days are unpaid, enter them. The table then shows a full-year figure and a figure after the unpaid days.
Salary conversion formulas
Hourly rate = annual pay ÷ (hours per week × 52)
Monthly = annual ÷ 12 · Semi-monthly = annual ÷ 24 · Bi-weekly = annual ÷ 26 · Weekly = annual ÷ 52
Pay after unpaid days off = annual pay × (working days − unpaid days) ÷ working days
A year has 52 weeks, so a standard 40-hour, five-day job is 2,080 hours and 260 working days a year. Daily pay is the hourly rate times hours per day (hours per week ÷ days per week). Unpaid days off don't change your hourly or daily rate; they lower the total you take home over the year, so the weekly, monthly and annual figures become averages.
Worked example
At $25 an hour for 40 hours a week, you earn $200.00 a day, $1,000.00 a week, $2,000.00 every two weeks, $4,333.33 a month and $52,000 a year. If 10 holidays and 15 vacation days are unpaid, you work 235 of the 260 days, so the year's pay is $52,000 × 235 ÷ 260 = $47,000, or $3,916.67 a month on average.
Going the other way, a $65,000 salary is $31.25 an hour at 40 hours a week. If the job really takes 45 hours a week, the same salary works out to $27.78 an hour.
Hourly to salary table
Gross pay at 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, before tax.
| Hourly | Weekly | Bi-weekly | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $15.00 | $600.00 | $1,200.00 | $2,600.00 | $31,200 |
| $18.00 | $720.00 | $1,440.00 | $3,120.00 | $37,440 |
| $20.00 | $800.00 | $1,600.00 | $3,466.67 | $41,600 |
| $25.00 | $1,000.00 | $2,000.00 | $4,333.33 | $52,000 |
| $30.00 | $1,200.00 | $2,400.00 | $5,200.00 | $62,400 |
| $35.00 | $1,400.00 | $2,800.00 | $6,066.67 | $72,800 |
| $40.00 | $1,600.00 | $3,200.00 | $6,933.33 | $83,200 |
| $50.00 | $2,000.00 | $4,000.00 | $8,666.67 | $104,000 |
| $75.00 | $3,000.00 | $6,000.00 | $13,000.00 | $156,000 |
| $100.00 | $4,000.00 | $8,000.00 | $17,333.33 | $208,000 |
A quick rule of thumb: at 40 hours a week, the annual salary is about 2,000 times the hourly rate (the exact factor is 2,080), so $20 an hour is roughly $40,000 a year.
Things to watch
- Bi-weekly is not twice a month. Bi-weekly pay comes 26 times a year, semi-monthly pay 24 times. Two months a year have three bi-weekly paydays, which is why a bi-weekly check is smaller than a semi-monthly one for the same salary.
- A month is not four weeks. A month averages 52 ÷ 12 ≈ 4.33 weeks, so multiplying a weekly wage by 4 understates monthly pay by about 8%.
- Overtime is extra. These figures assume straight-time pay. Hours over 40 in a week are usually paid at 1.5 times the rate for non-exempt US workers.
- Gross is not take-home. Taxes and deductions come out of every check. Use the take-home paycheck calculator for net pay, or the income tax calculator for your yearly federal tax.
- Comparing offers? Put both on the same basis (hourly or annual), and count paid time off, bonuses and benefits separately.
Frequently asked questions
How much is $25 an hour per year?
At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, $25 an hour is $52,000 a year before tax: $1,000 a week, $2,000 every two weeks and about $4,333.33 a month. With 25 unpaid days off it falls to $47,000.
How do I convert an annual salary to an hourly rate?
Divide the salary by the hours you work in a year, which is hours per week × 52. A $60,000 salary at 40 hours a week is $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = about $28.85 an hour.
How many working hours are in a year?
A full-time 40-hour week for 52 weeks is 2,080 hours, or 260 working days of 8 hours. Paid holidays and vacation are included in that figure; unpaid days off reduce the hours you are paid for.
What is the difference between bi-weekly and semi-monthly pay?
Bi-weekly pay arrives every two weeks, 26 times a year. Semi-monthly pay arrives twice a month, 24 times a year. On a $52,000 salary that is $2,000 per bi-weekly check and about $2,166.67 per semi-monthly check.
How do unpaid holidays and vacation affect my salary?
Your hourly and daily rates stay the same, but you are paid for fewer days. At $25 an hour with 10 unpaid holidays and 15 unpaid vacation days, you are paid for 235 of 260 days, so the year comes to $52,000 × 235 ÷ 260 = $47,000.
