Convert an hourly pay rate to annual, monthly, bi-weekly, and weekly salary. Adjust hours per week and weeks per year for non-standard schedules. An optional effective tax rate slider produces a rough take-home estimate. All calculations run locally in your browser.
How it works
Annual salary equals hourly pay multiplied by hours per week multiplied by weeks per year. The default schedule of 40 hours per week across 52 weeks gives 2,080 working hours per year. The hourly equivalent of a salary is the annual figure divided by the same 2,080 hours. Bi-weekly equals weekly pay times two, and monthly equals annual divided by twelve. The optional take-home estimate multiplies the annual salary by (1 minus the effective tax rate you choose) and is a generic planning figure rather than a country-specific tax calculation.

Frequently asked questions
- How is hourly pay converted to annual salary?
- Annual salary = hourly rate x hours per week x weeks per year. The default assumes 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year, giving 2,080 working hours. Adjust either value for part-time schedules or planned unpaid time off.
- Why does the standard year use 52 weeks instead of 50?
- There are 52 weeks in a calendar year. Many full-time roles include 2 to 4 weeks of paid time off, so a salaried employee is paid for all 52 weeks even though they work fewer. Hourly workers without paid leave may want to reduce the weeks-per-year input to reflect unpaid time off.
- How accurate is the take-home estimate?
- The take-home slider uses a single effective tax rate that you set yourself, so it is a rough planning estimate, not a precise net pay figure. Actual take-home depends on federal, state, and local taxes, deductions, and benefits. Use a payroll calculator for exact figures.
