Enter an annual salary and your work schedule to see the equivalent hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, and monthly pay.

How to Use the Salary Calculator

Enter an annual salary along with the hours worked per week, days worked per week, and weeks worked per year, and every other figure — hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, and monthly — updates from that one annual number all at once.

Weeks per year is the field most people skip past without thinking, and it's worth a second look: 52 assumes you're paid straight through the year, while 50 backs out two unpaid weeks — a rough stand-in for unpaid time off some hourly and contract workers actually take. Neither number is "correct"; it depends on how you're actually paid.

Hourly = Annual ÷ (Hours per Week × Weeks per Year)
Daily = Hourly × Hours per Week ÷ Days per Week
Weekly = Hourly × Hours per Week
Biweekly = Weekly × 2
Monthly = Annual ÷ 12

Daily rate comes out of the hourly figure rather than straight from the annual salary, since a workday isn't a fixed fraction of a year the way a week or month roughly is — this calculator spreads the weekly total evenly across the days-per-week field you set, which won't match reality for anyone whose hours are lopsided across the week (four 10-hour days, say, instead of five 8-hour ones).
