How it works
Start from a stated annual salary and split it across the work pattern you actually work. Weekly ≈ annual ÷ weeks per year; hourly ≈ weekly ÷ hours per week; monthly is often annual ÷ 12 for budgeting even when paydays are biweekly. This page answers “what is this salary in other pay periods?”—not take-home pay after tax. Unpaid time off, overtime premiums, bonuses, and equity are outside the simple conversion. When an offer quotes hourly instead, use the hourly-to-salary tool; when you need net deposits, switch to the paycheck calculator.
Input guidance
- Enter the stated annual salary before tax.
- Set hours/week and paid weeks/year to match the job pattern.
- Use this for period conversion—not take-home pay.
The formula
Convert between pay periods using the hours worked: annual = hourly × hours/week × weeks/year. Monthly = annual ÷ 12; biweekly = annual ÷ 26; weekly = annual ÷ 52.
Worked example
$25/hour at 40 hours/week for 52 weeks is $52,000 a year, about $4,333 a month, $2,000 biweekly, or $1,000 a week — before taxes and deductions.
More examples to test
- $85,000 salary at 40 hours/week and 52 weeks: derive hourly and monthly equivalents.
- Same salary with 48 paid weeks: see how unpaid time off changes the hourly rate.
How to interpret results
Period conversions help compare offers. Switch to paycheck tools for net deposits after withholding.
When this can be inaccurate
Overtime, bonuses, equity, and unpaid leave are outside a simple salary split.

Frequently asked questions
Is this gross or net pay?+
Gross — before taxes, insurance, and retirement deductions. Take-home pay is lower; use a paycheck calculator for net figures.
How many work weeks should I use?+
52 weeks covers a full year including paid time off. If you want to exclude unpaid weeks, lower the number accordingly.
How do I handle overtime?+
Overtime is usually 1.5× the hourly rate. Add overtime hours separately at the higher rate for an accurate annual figure.
How should I use this result?+
Treat it as a planning estimate. Compare at least two realistic scenarios, then confirm with statements, quotes, or a qualified professional before acting.
How often should I refresh assumptions?+
Refresh whenever rates, income, costs, or policy limits change materially, and before making irreversible commitments.
