Salary Calculator

A salary calculator is an online tool that converts compensation between different time periods, helping you compare job offers, understand your income across timeframes, and plan budgets. Whether you're comparing a salaried position to hourly work, evaluating freelance rates, planning monthly budgets from annual salary, or negotiating compensation, our salary calculator converts between hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, and annual pay.

This calculator determines equivalent salaries across all time periods based on standard work hours (typically 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year). Enter your pay for any period, and instantly see your compensation expressed hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and annually. This helps compare jobs with different pay structures, understand take-home pay timing, and budget effectively.

Comparing job offers with different pay structures requires converting to common timeframes. A $50,000 annual salary sounds different from $24/hour, but they're similar amounts (assuming full-time work). Without conversion, you might accept lower total compensation simply because the hourly rate or monthly salary sounded higher. The calculator eliminates confusion and enables apples-to-apples comparisons.

Job seekers use salary calculators when evaluating offers, negotiating raises, or considering career changes between salaried and hourly positions. Freelancers and contractors benefit from converting project rates to equivalent annual salaries to assess whether freelancing provides competitive compensation. Budgeters use it to understand monthly income from annual salaries or annual earnings from hourly wages for long-term financial planning.

The tool ensures accuracy using standard work hours (2,080 hours annually for full-time work), provides instant conversions across all pay periods, and helps visualize income in the most meaningful timeframe. It's particularly valuable when comparing multiple job offers, planning annual budgets from monthly paychecks, evaluating the financial impact of switching from salary to hourly work, or calculating freelance rates.

Job Comparison: Compare salaried positions ($60K/year) with hourly positions ($28/hour) by converting to same timeframe for accurate comparison.

Budget Planning: Convert annual salary to monthly or weekly amounts to plan budgets, bills, and discretionary spending accurately.

Freelance Rates: Calculate what annual salary your freelance hourly rate equals, accounting for fewer billable hours and no benefits.

Raise Evaluation: Understand the annual impact of hourly rate increases or vice versa when negotiating compensation adjustments.

Part-Time Analysis: Calculate annual or monthly earnings from part-time hourly positions by adjusting for actual hours worked per week.

Using our salary calculator is straightforward: enter your pay amount for any time period (hour, day, week, month, or year) and specify your work hours if different from standard full-time (40 hours/week). The calculator instantly converts your pay to all other timeframes, showing equivalent hourly rate, daily pay, weekly pay, monthly salary, and annual salary.

The calculator uses standard conversions: 1 year = 52 weeks = 12 months = 2,080 hours (40 hours/week × 52 weeks). Hourly to Annual = Hourly Rate × 2,080 hours. Annual to Hourly = Annual Salary / 2,080 hours. Weekly to Annual = Weekly Pay × 52 weeks. For example, $25/hour equals: $200/day (8 hours), $1,000/week (40 hours), $4,333/month, $52,000/year. Reverse: $60,000/year = $5,000/month = $1,154/week = $231/day = $28.85/hour. Note: these are gross amounts before taxes and deductions.
