How the Pay Converter Works

Job offers and pay stubs use different pay periods — one posting might list an annual salary while another states an hourly rate. This calculator lets you enter whichever figure you already know, then derives all the others using your actual work pattern: hours worked per week, days worked per week, and weeks worked per year (accounting for any unpaid time off).

Formula Used
Annual = Hourly Rate × Hours Per Week × Weeks Per Year
Hourly Rate = Annual ÷ (Hours Per Week × Weeks Per Year)
Worked Example
PeriodAmount
Hourly$22.50
Daily (8 hrs)$180.00
Weekly (40 hrs)$900.00
Monthly$3,900.00
Annual$46,800.00
Based on $22.50/hour, 40 hours/week, 5 days/week, 52 weeks/year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does monthly pay not exactly equal weekly pay × 4?
A year has slightly more than 4 weeks per month on average (52 weeks ÷ 12 months ≈ 4.33 weeks). This calculator computes monthly pay as annual ÷ 12, which is more accurate than simply multiplying a weekly figure by 4.
Should I use 52 or 50 for weeks worked per year?
Use 52 if your salary or hourly rate is meant to represent pay for the full year, including any paid time off. Use a lower number like 50 only if you are specifically trying to model unpaid weeks off — most standard salary figures already assume 52 weeks.
Does this calculator account for taxes?
No — all figures shown are gross pay before any tax or deductions. This tool is designed purely to convert between pay periods, not to estimate take-home pay after tax.
Can I use this to compare two job offers stated in different periods?
Yes — this is one of the most common uses. If one offer states an hourly rate and another states an annual salary, convert both to the same period (for example, annual) using your expected work pattern for each role, then compare directly.
What if I work irregular hours each week?
Enter your typical or average hours per week for the most representative estimate. This calculator assumes a consistent weekly pattern — if your hours vary significantly, treat the result as an approximation rather than an exact figure.

Salary and Hourly Pay Converter

This salary and hourly pay converter instantly translates any known pay figure — hourly rate, weekly pay, monthly pay, or annual salary — into all five common pay period equivalents. Rather than requiring two separate calculators for "hourly to salary" and "salary to hourly," this single dual-mode tool handles both directions from one page, since the underlying formula is simply the reverse of itself.

The conversion accounts for your actual work pattern rather than assuming a fixed standard: enter your real hours per week, days per week, and weeks worked per year (useful if you take unpaid leave) for an accurate picture. All figures shown are gross pay before tax.
