Frequently asked questions

How do you convert an annual salary to an hourly rate?

Divide the yearly salary by your total work hours for the year. With the defaults that is hours per week times weeks per year, or 40 x 52 = 2080 hours, so a 52,000 salary works out to 25 per hour.

What hours per week and weeks per year should I use?

Use the figures that match your real schedule. A common full-time assumption is 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year. If you take unpaid leave, lower the weeks; if you work part time, lower the hours.

Is this gross pay or take-home pay?

All figures are gross, meaning before tax, insurance and other deductions. Your actual take-home pay will be lower once withholdings are applied, so treat these as pre-tax conversions.

How do I work out part-time pay?

Set hours per week to your part-time hours, for example 20, and keep weeks per year as normal. The calculator scales the annual, monthly and weekly totals down to match the reduced hours.

Why does monthly pay not equal four weekly paychecks?

A year has about 4.33 weeks per month, not exactly four. The monthly figure divides the annual salary by 12, so it is slightly higher than four times the weekly amount.

Does it handle overtime or bonuses?

No. It converts a single steady pay rate between periods. Add overtime, commission or bonuses separately, since those vary from one pay run to the next.
