You enter either an hourly rate or an annual salary. If you enter the hourly rate plus hours per week and weeks per year, the tool multiplies all three to get your gross annual salary, then divides into monthly, biweekly, weekly, and daily figures. If you enter an annual salary directly, it reverses the calculation to show the equivalent hourly rate. The default assumes 52 weeks — adjust downward if you take unpaid time off.
Use 52 if you receive paid vacation and holidays. If you take unpaid time off, subtract those weeks — for example, 50 weeks if you take 2 weeks unpaid. This makes a meaningful difference: at $25/hr and 40 hrs/wk, 52 weeks gives $52,000 while 50 weeks gives $50,000.
No. This calculator uses a flat hourly rate for all hours. Under the FLSA, non-exempt workers earn 1.5× their regular rate for hours over 40 per week. If you regularly work overtime, your actual annual earnings will be higher than shown here.
All figures are gross (before taxes). Your take-home pay will be lower after federal income tax, state tax, Social Security, Medicare, and any benefit deductions. Use a paycheck calculator to estimate net pay.
Enter your current hourly rate with your actual hours and weeks to see the annual equivalent, then compare it to the salary offer. Remember that salaried positions often include benefits (health insurance, retirement match, PTO) worth 20–30% on top of base pay.
