Converting between hourly, monthly and annual pay
Job offers quote pay in different ways – an hourly rate, a monthly salary or an annual package. This converter turns any of them into every other period so you can compare offers fairly. It uses your actual schedule: hours per week, days per week and the number of paid weeks per year.
- Hourly → annual: rate × hours per week × paid weeks

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by hours per week and by paid weeks per year. At 40 hours and 52 weeks, that is 2,080 hours – so $25/hour equals $52,000 a year.
What is the difference between bi-weekly and semi-monthly pay?
Bi-weekly means every two weeks – 26 paychecks a year. Semi-monthly means twice a month, usually on fixed dates – 24 paychecks a year. Each semi-monthly check is slightly larger.
How many working hours are in a year?
A full-time schedule of 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is 2,080 hours. If you take two weeks of unpaid leave, use 50 weeks (2,000 hours).
Does this calculate my exact take-home pay?
No – enter your estimated overall tax rate to get an approximate net figure. Real deductions depend on your country's tax brackets, social contributions, retirement contributions and benefits.
