About this calculator
What this calculator does
It converts between yearly and hourly gross pay using the hours and paid weeks you enter. It also shows monthly, every-two-weeks, and weekly amounts.
How it is calculated
hourly = annual / (hours per week * paid weeks)
annual = hourly * hours per week * paid weeks
monthly = annual / 12, every two weeks = annual / 26, weekly = annual / 52
How to read the result
All amounts are before tax. Monthly, every-two-weeks, and weekly figures spread the yearly total evenly over the calendar (12, 26, and 52 periods), so they are averages even when some weeks are unpaid.
Why there is no take-home figure
Take-home pay depends on tax rules, filing status, location, and benefits. This page leaves those out rather than guess.
Sources and method
