Salary Calculator

This free salary calculator and paycheck calculator converts your pay between hourly, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and annual figures so you can compare job offers or calculate paycheck totals on an apples-to-apples basis.

How pay and paycheck conversions work

Salary conversions rely on standard work-year assumptions: 52 weeks per year and 26 bi-weekly pay periods. Annual gross pay from an hourly rate is calculated as:

Annual Pay = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × 52
Example: $30/hour at 40 hours/week equals $1,200/week, $2,400 bi-weekly, about $5,200/month, and $62,400 per year.

Gross vs. net paycheck

These figures are gross pay — before taxes, insurance, retirement contributions, or other deductions (a simple payroll calculator view). For an estimate of federal taxes owed, see our Income Tax Calculator. Total hours with our Hours Calculator.
