Salary Calculator

  • Browser-based
  • No signup

Enter a pay amount and period—such as $85,000 per year—to see equivalent hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, monthly, and annual figures. Adjust hours and days per week for your schedule.

Employers quote compensation in different units: hourly for shift work, annual salary for exempt roles, or per-project contracts. Converting between units helps compare offers, but overtime eligibility, bonuses, and benefits are not part of a simple hourly-to-annual conversion.

Take-home pay depends on federal, state, and local withholding, pre-tax deductions, and benefit elections. Use a dedicated paycheck or tax estimator when you need net pay rather than gross annualization from this salary converter.

Contractors quoting day rates should multiply by billable days per year, not calendar days, when comparing to full-time salary.

Freelancers comparing a $120,000 W-2 offer to a $150/hour contract should model unpaid vacation, health insurance, and self-employment tax before treating the hourly rate as higher.

How to use this tool

Enter your pay amount and select whether it is hourly, monthly, annual, or another period. Adjust hours per week and weeks per year if needed, then review equivalent pay across all periods.

Example: $85,000 per year with a 40-hour week and 52 weeks/year equals about $40.87/hour, $7,083/month, or $1,635/week before taxes.

When to use this

  • Converting annual salary to hourly for contract comparisons.
  • Estimating biweekly take-home before accepting an offer.
  • Checking gross vs net when moving states or tax brackets.
  • Budgeting from a new base salary figure.

Common examples

  • $75,000 annual salary, biweekly pay, ~22% effective withholding → estimated take-home near $2,100 per paycheck (varies widely by state and benefits).
  • $28/hour full-time (40 hrs/week, 52 weeks) → gross near $58,240/year before overtime, PTO, and deductions.
  • $120,000 base salary excluding bonus → models W-2 base only; equity and commission may not appear on the paycheck line.
  • $32/hour, 40 hours/week, 50 weeks/year → gross near $64,000 before overtime and benefits.
  • $95,000 annual salary → roughly $7,917/month gross or $45.67/hour at 40 hours/week.
