What is Salary Calculator?

A salary calculator converts between different pay periods (hourly, weekly, monthly, annual) and estimates your take-home pay after taxes.

How It Works

Enter your hourly rate and hours worked to see all pay period equivalents. The calculator shows both gross pay and estimated after-tax income based on your tax rate.

The Formula

Annual = Hourly × Hours/Week × Weeks/Year
Monthly = Annual / 12
Weekly = Annual / 52
Daily = Annual / 260

The calculator converts between hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and annual pay. It also estimates take-home pay based on your tax rate and calculates overtime earnings.

Examples

Example: $25/hour, Full-Time

$25/hour, 40 hours/week, 52 weeks, 22% tax rate

At $25/hour for 40 hours/week, you earn $52,000 annually. After 22% taxes, your take-home pay is $40,560 ($3,380/month). Your daily rate is $200 based on 260 working days.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert hourly to salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by hours worked per week, then by weeks worked per year. For a standard full-time job: $25/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000/year.

How many working days are in a year?

There are typically 260 working days in a year (52 weeks × 5 days), not counting holidays. For more accuracy, subtract your paid time off and holidays.

What's the difference between salary and hourly?

Salaried employees get a fixed annual amount regardless of hours worked. Hourly employees are paid for each hour worked and often get overtime. Salaried positions may offer more stability but no overtime pay.

How do taxes affect my take-home pay?

Your take-home pay is your gross pay minus federal, state, and local taxes, plus Social Security and Medicare (FICA). The effective tax rate is usually lower than your marginal rate due to deductions and brackets.
