This salary calculator converts a single rate of pay into every common pay period at once, so an hourly wage, a weekly check, a biweekly check, a monthly figure, and an annual salary all line up side by side. You pick the period your number represents, and the tool first normalizes it to an annual amount before splitting that total back across the other periods using a 52-week year.
Formula
Annual = amount × periodFactor; hourly = Annual ÷ (hoursPerWeek × 52)
- amount
- The pay figure you enter
- periodFactor
- Hourly: hoursPerWeek × 52; weekly: 52; biweekly: 26; monthly: 12; annual: 1
- hoursPerWeek
- Hours worked per week, used for hourly conversions (default 40)
How it works
- Enter an amount and choose the period it represents: hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly, or annual. If you choose hourly, also set your hours per week (the default is 40).
- The calculator converts your entry to an annual total. Hourly is multiplied by hours per week and 52; weekly by 52; biweekly by 26; monthly by 12; annual is used as is.
- It then divides that annual total back into each period and shows the equivalent hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly, and annual pay so you can compare offers stated in different units.
Worked example
An employee earns $25.00 per hour working 40 hours a week and wants every equivalent pay period.
- Annualize: 25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 per year.
- Weekly: 52,000 ÷ 52 = $1,000; biweekly: 52,000 ÷ 26 = $2,000.
- Monthly: 52,000 ÷ 12 = $4,333.33.
Hourly $25.00, weekly $1,000.00, biweekly $2,000.00, monthly $4,333.33, annual $52,000.00.
Frequently asked questions
- How many work weeks does this calculator assume?
- It uses a fixed 52-week year and a biweekly period of every two weeks, giving 26 biweekly checks. It does not subtract unpaid time off, so reduce your hours or weeks if you want to model fewer paid weeks.
- Does the result show take-home pay after taxes?
- No. This tool only converts gross pay between periods. It does not deduct federal or state income tax, Social Security, Medicare, or benefits, so use a paycheck or take-home pay calculator for net figures.
- Why does changing hours per week only matter for hourly pay?
- Hours per week is needed to translate between an hourly rate and a fixed annual salary. Weekly, biweekly, monthly, and annual entries already represent total pay for the period, so they convert without needing your hours.
