How This Calculator Works

This tool converts any salary into all common pay periods. Enter your pay amount, choose what it represents (annual, hourly, monthly, etc.), then set your hours per week and days per week.

The calculator then works out your exact hourly rate, daily pay, weekly earnings, biweekly paycheck, monthly income, and full annual salary calculator result in one step.

Need to go the other way? Use our hourly to salary calculator to turn a wage into a yearly figure, or the salary to hourly calculator to break an annual pay down to an hourly rate.

Use the advanced options to add a tax rate or other deductions — you'll see an estimated take-home figure alongside your gross pay at every level.

Salary Conversion Formulas

All conversions start from the annual salary. Here is how each figure is derived:

  • Annual = Hourly × Hours/Week × Weeks/Year
  • Monthly = Annual ÷ 12
  • Biweekly = Annual ÷ 26
  • Semi-Monthly = Annual ÷ 24
  • Weekly = Annual ÷ 52
  • Daily = Weekly ÷ Days per Week
  • Hourly = Annual ÷ (Hours/Week × Weeks/Year)
