Annual Salary Calculator

Enter your pay rate and period to calculate your annual salary.

How it is calculated

The tool multiplies your pay up to a year, then divides by 12 for the monthly figure. For an hourly rate: annual = rate × hours per week × 52. Weekly pay is rate × 52, biweekly is rate × 26 and monthly is rate × 12. Hours per week are used only for hourly pay and default to 40 if left empty; for the other periods that field is ignored. Rate must be above zero and hours above zero, or there is no result. The year is a flat 52 weeks, so unpaid leave, overtime, bonuses, tax and benefits are not modelled, and the figure is gross. Amounts are displayed in US dollars.

Worked example

An hourly rate of 25 at 37.5 hours a week. Weekly pay = 25 × 37.5 = 937.50. Annual = 937.50 × 52 = $48,750.00. Monthly = 48,750 ÷ 12 = $4,062.50. The same rate at 40 hours would give $52,000.00 a year.

Common mistakes

  • Leaving hours per week empty and getting the 40-hour default, when the contract is for part-time or 37.5 hours.
  • Entering a monthly salary while the period is still set to hourly, which multiplies it by 40 × 52.
  • Choosing biweekly for a twice-a-month (semi-monthly) salary: biweekly means 26 payments a year, semi-monthly means 24, so the result is about 8% too high.
  • Expecting a daily option; the periods are hourly, weekly, biweekly and monthly, and an unrecognised value is treated as hourly.
  • Comparing the result with a net (take-home) figure; the annual number is gross, before tax and deductions.

About this calculator

This calculator converts pay stated per hour, week, two weeks or month into an annual figure and the equivalent monthly amount. It uses 52 weeks, 26 biweekly periods or 12 months a year, and for an hourly rate it multiplies by your hours per week (40 if left blank) and 52 weeks. Unpaid time off is not deducted, so reduce the hours or weeks yourself if you expect any.

Job seekers use it to compare offers that are quoted in different formats, such as one employer stating an hourly rate and another stating an annual salary, putting both on equal footing. Employees also use it to sanity-check a payslip, budget based on annual income, or figure out what a raise or reduced schedule actually means over a full year.

    The flat 52 weeks assume you are paid every week. For unpaid time off, scale the annual figure: three unpaid weeks means multiplying by 49 ÷ 52, about 0.942. The result is gross, before tax. When you compare an hourly offer with a salaried one, post which pay period each one is quoted in.
