Salary Calculator: Convert Hourly, Weekly, Monthly & Annual Pay

Convert your pay between hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly and annual amounts - and see what your time is really worth per hour, including overtime.

Formula

Annual pay = pay amount × pay periods per year: hourly × hours per week × 52, weekly × 52, biweekly × 26, monthly × 12. Going the other way: hourly rate = annual pay ÷ (hours per week × 52), and overtime = hourly rate × 1.5.

Quick mental math: at 40 hours a week, every $1 an hour is about $2,080 a year. So $25 an hour is roughly $52,000 a year, and $50 an hour is roughly $104,000.

Worked example

A $60,000 annual salary at 40 hours a week: hourly = $60,000 / (40 x 52) = $28.85 per hour. Weekly = $60,000 / 52 = $1,153.85. Biweekly = $60,000 / 26 = $2,307.69. Monthly = $60,000 / 12 = $5,000. Overtime rate = $28.85 x 1.5 = $43.27 per hour.

How to use the salary calculator

Enter your gross pay, pick the pay period, and set your weekly hours. The calculator restates your pay across hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly and annual periods, plus your overtime rate.

The three fields

Salary amount — your gross pay in dollars, before taxes and deductions.
Pay period — per hour, per week, every 2 weeks, per month, or per year.
Hours per week — defaults to 40 for full-time; change it for part-time or long-hour roles.

What it does not do

It converts gross pay only and does not subtract income tax, Social Security, Medicare, insurance or retirement contributions. Your take-home pay will be lower. Planning what to do with the salary? The compound interest calculator shows what steady saving from that pay can grow into, and the loan EMI calculator helps you budget a monthly loan payment against it.

Common salaries at a glance

At the standard full-time schedule of 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year:

Annual	Hourly	Weekly	Biweekly	Monthly
$40,000	$19.23	$769.23	$1,538.46	$3,333.33
$50,000	$24.04	$961.54	$1,923.08	$4,166.67

$100,000	$48.08	$1,923.08	$3,846.15	$8,333.33
$150,000	$72.12	$2,884.62	$5,769.23	$12,500.00

Reading it the other way: $15 an hour is $31,200 a year, $20 is $41,600, $25 is $52,000 and $50 is $104,000.

Adjusting for your real schedule

Not everyone works 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year — and the schedule changes the answer. A 37.5-hour week is common in offices and healthcare: it gives 1,950 hours a year, which raises a $60,000 salary from $28.85 to $30.77 an hour.

Hours per week	$60,000 as hourly pay
30	$38.46
37.5	$30.77
40	$28.85
45	$25.64
50	$23.08

Unpaid time off matters too. $80,000 spread over 52 paid weeks is $38.46 an hour, but over 48 paid weeks it is $41.67. If some weeks are unpaid, compare offers using the hourly figures so the schedules do not distort the comparison.

Gross pay vs take-home pay

The calculator shows gross pay: earnings before anything is taken out. Take-home (net) pay is what reaches your bank account after federal and state income tax, Social Security and Medicare, plus health insurance, retirement and other deductions.

As a rough rule, take-home pay lands around 70–80% of gross for a typical US employee, but your tax bracket, state, filing status and benefits all move the number. Use this page to compare offers in gross terms, then check a pay stub or payroll estimate for the net figure.

Salary vs hourly: comparing job offers

A $52,000 salary and a $25-an-hour job look identical on paper at 40 hours a week — until the schedule, overtime and benefits differ. Convert both offers to an hourly equivalent with the calculator above, then weigh the trade-offs:

Comparison illustration of salaried vs hourly work: fixed monthly paycheck versus variable weekly pay with overtime — Salaried roles offer predictability; hourly roles with overtime can out-earn a slightly higher salary.

Factor	Salaried	Hourly
Overtime pay	Usually exempt — no overtime	Usually 1.5× after 40 hrs/week
Paycheck	Same every period	Varies with hours worked
Paid time off	Usually included	Often unpaid
Benefits	Usually included	Varies by employer

An hourly role with regular overtime can out-earn a slightly higher salary. A salaried role usually wins on predictability and paid time off.
