How the salary calculator works
Enter your pay and how often you receive it, and your usual hours and days a week. The calculator turns it into a yearly amount and divides that back into every pay period: hourly, daily, weekly, every two weeks, twice a month, monthly and yearly.
Periods in a year
Hourly: hours a week × paid weeks
Daily: days a week × paid weeks
Weekly: paid weeks (usually 52)
Every two weeks: 26 · Twice a month: 24 · Monthly: 12
Worked example
A salary of 52,000 a year, 40 hours and 5 days a week, 52 paid weeks:
- Hourly: 52,000 ÷ (40 × 52) = 25.00
- Weekly: 52,000 ÷ 52 = 1,000.00; daily: 200.00
- Every two weeks: 2,000.00; twice a month: 2,166.67; monthly: 4,333.33
Frequently asked questions
Is the result before or after tax?
Before tax. Tax and other deductions depend on where you live and your circumstances, so none are taken off.
What is the difference between every two weeks and twice a month?
Paid every two weeks, you get 26 payments a year. Paid twice a month, you get 24. So the same salary gives a slightly smaller amount every two weeks than twice a month.
Why does a month not equal four weeks?
A year has 52 weeks but only 12 months, so an average month is about 4.33 weeks. The calculator works through the yearly amount, which keeps every period consistent.
How is this different from the Hourly Wage Calculator?
This one converts pay between every period. The Hourly Wage Calculator focuses on the hourly figure and can show your effective rate after unpaid hours and paid time off.
