Salary Calculator

Q: Does this calculator consider taxes?

No, this calculator shows gross salary. To calculate net salary (after taxes and deductions), you need to consider federal, state, and local taxes, as well as other deductions specific to your situation.

Q: Why use 52 weeks and not 52.14?

We use 52 weeks to simplify. A year actually has approximately 52.14 weeks. For maximum precision, you can use 365 days ÷ 7 = 52.14 weeks, but the difference is minimal for practical purposes.

Q: How do I compare job offers?

Use this calculator to convert all salaries to the same unit (e.g., annual). Also consider benefits, work hours, paid vacation, and growth opportunities when evaluating offers.

Q: What if I work part-time?

Adjust the "Hours per Week" field to reflect your actual hours. For example, if you work 20 hours weekly, enter 20 instead of the default 40.

Q: Can I calculate in the opposite direction?

Yes! If you know your hourly rate and want to know the annual salary, multiply: Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × 52 = Annual Salary.

Convert between different salary periods and calculate take-home pay

Formula Explanation

This calculator converts your annual salary into monthly, weekly, and hourly equivalents, making it easier to compare job offers or understand your compensation.

Formulas

Monthly Salary:
Monthly = Annual ÷ 12

Weekly Salary:
Weekly = Annual ÷ 52

Hourly Rate:
Hourly = Annual ÷ (Hours per Week × 52)

Where:
• 12 = number of months in a year
• 52 = number of weeks in a year
• Hours per Week = hours worked weekly (default: 40)

Step-by-Step Guide

Practical Example

Data:

Annual Salary: $60,000
Hours per Week: 40 hours

Step 1: Calculate Monthly Salary

Monthly = 60,000 ÷ 12 = $5,000

Step 2: Calculate Weekly Salary

Weekly = 60,000 ÷ 52 = $1,153.85

Step 3: Calculate Hourly Rate

Annual Hours = 40 × 52 = 2,080 hours

Hourly = 60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85 per hour

Interpretation

With an annual salary of $60,000, you earn:

$5,000 per month
$1,153.85 per week
$28.85 per hour worked
