Hourly to Salary Converter
Turn an hourly wage into annual, monthly, weekly and daily pay.
Work Schedule
Comparing an hourly rate to a salaried offer is hard until both are in the same units. This converter turns an hourly wage into annual, monthly, biweekly, weekly, and daily figures, using the hours you actually work each week and the weeks you work each year. Because it lets you set those two numbers yourself, it handles part-time schedules and unpaid time off as easily as a standard full-time year. Everything is calculated in your browser.
How the pay periods are worked out
The annual figure is the foundation, and the rest divide down from it:
Annual = Hourly × Hours per week × Weeks per year
Monthly is the annual divided by twelve, biweekly by twenty-six (the number of fortnightly pay periods in a year), and weekly by the weeks you entered. Daily pay is the hourly rate times a fifth of your weekly hours, treating a standard five-day week. At $25 an hour, 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, that's $52,000 annually, about $4,333 a month, $2,000 biweekly, $1,000 a week, and $200 a day.
Gross pay, not take-home
These are gross figures — pay before income tax, payroll deductions, health premiums, or retirement contributions come out, so your actual take-home will be lower. The weeks-per-year field is where real life enters: a salaried job paid across all 52 weeks includes paid holiday, whereas an hourly role with two unpaid weeks off should use 50. Adjusting that number is the honest way to compare an hourly rate against a salary, since it reflects the time you're genuinely paid for.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this before or after tax?
Before. All the figures are gross pay. Taxes, insurance, and retirement deductions vary by person and location, so your net pay will be somewhat lower.
How should I handle unpaid time off?
Lower the weeks-per-year figure. If you take two unpaid weeks, enter 50 instead of 52 so the annual total reflects only the weeks you're actually paid.
Why divide by 26 for biweekly pay?
A year contains 26 two-week periods, so a biweekly paycheck is the annual salary split 26 ways. It's slightly less than half the monthly figure because months are a little longer than four weeks.
Is my wage information saved?
No. The conversion runs in your browser and nothing you enter is uploaded or stored.
