How to use the salary & hourly wage calculator

  1. Enter your pay and choose whether it’s per hour, day, week, month or year.
  2. Adjust hours per week, days per week and weeks per year to match your job.
  3. Read the equivalent pay for every other period.

How the conversion works

Everything is converted to a yearly figure first. With the defaults (40 hours a week, 5 days, 52 weeks), there are 2,080 working hours in a year, so $25 an hour is $52,000 a year. Monthly pay is the yearly amount divided by 12, which is why it isn’t simply four times the weekly pay.

Unpaid time off

If you’re paid hourly and take unpaid holidays, reduce weeks per year. For example, two unpaid weeks off means 50 weeks. Salaried employees with paid leave can keep 52.

Questions

Is this before or after tax?

Before tax. Take-home pay depends on where you live, your deductions and benefits.

Why are there 52 weeks but 12 months?

A year has 52 weeks and one or two extra days, so a month averages about 4.33 weeks.

Does it handle part-time hours?

Yes. Change hours per week, such as 20 for half-time.
