How to use it

  1. Enter an amount and choose what it is: hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, monthly or annual.
  2. Set hours per week (default 40), days per week (default 5) and paid weeks per year (default 52). Lower the paid weeks if you take unpaid time off.
  3. The table shows the amount for every pay period, gross, before taxes.

The formula is hourly rate x hours per week x paid weeks per year = annual pay. For salary to hourly, divide the annual salary by hours per week x paid weeks per year. The calculation runs in your browser.

What the result leaves out

  • Results are gross pay before taxes, benefits and other deductions.
  • Overtime is not included. Use the overtime calculator for hours over 40 a week.
  • Many people count paid holidays and vacation as paid weeks. Unpaid leave reduces the weeks.
  • The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour. Many states set a higher minimum, so check your state's labor department.
  • To turn a work schedule into hours first, use the hours calculator.
