What is a salary calculator?
A salary calculator converts your pay between different time periods. Enter your salary as an annual, monthly, biweekly, weekly, daily, or hourly amount, and instantly see the equivalent value across all other pay periods. It uses standard assumptions of 52 weeks, 260 work days, and your specified hours per week.

How is salary converted between pay periods?
Salary conversion starts by normalizing your input to an annual figure, then dividing by the number of periods in a year. All calculations use integer cents to avoid floating-point currency errors.
Salary Conversion Formulas
Monthly = Annual / 12. Biweekly = Annual / 26. Weekly = Annual / 52. Daily = Annual / 260. Hourly = Annual / (Hours/Week x 52).
Assumptions Used
- 52 weeks: Number of weeks per year
- 26 periods: Biweekly pay periods per year (52 / 2)
- 12 months: Calendar months per year
- 260 days: Standard work days per year (52 weeks x 5 days)
- Hours/week: Configurable, defaults to 40 for full-time
These are gross salary conversions. Taxes, deductions, overtime, holidays, and paid time off are not factored into the calculations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Divide your annual salary by the number of work hours in a year. For a standard 40-hour work week, that is 2,080 hours per year (40 hours x 52 weeks). For example, a $75,000 annual salary equals approximately $36.06 per hour.
Biweekly pay means you are paid every two weeks, resulting in 26 paychecks per year. Semimonthly pay means you are paid twice a month on fixed dates, resulting in 24 paychecks per year. This calculator uses biweekly (every 2 weeks, 26 periods).
No. This calculator converts gross salary between pay periods based on standard hours. Overtime pay, which is typically 1.5x the regular hourly rate for hours over 40 per week under the FLSA, is not included in these conversions.
No. This calculator shows gross salary conversions only. It does not subtract federal income tax, state income tax, Social Security, Medicare, or other deductions. Use our Tax Calculator for net pay estimates.
This calculator uses 260 work days per year, which is 52 weeks times 5 work days per week. This does not account for holidays or paid time off, which typically reduce actual work days to around 248-252.
Yes. Change the hours per week field to match your part-time schedule. For example, if you work 20 hours per week, enter 20 and the calculator will adjust all conversions accordingly, including the hourly rate.
