What This Calculator Does
This calculator converts your salary between four common formats: annual, monthly, weekly, and hourly. Enter any one value and the calculator automatically computes the others based on standard work assumptions.
How Salary Converts
Assumptions
We use standard work assumptions: 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year (2,080 total work hours). You can customize these in the calculator. Your actual take-home pay depends on taxes, benefits, and your specific work schedule.
Examples
How to Interpret Your Result
- Hourly rate is gross: $28.85/hour on $60,000/year is before taxes. After ~25% in taxes and benefits, your take-home hourly rate is closer to $21.
- Annual vs. hourly comparisons: A $30/hour job at 35 hours/week ($54,600/year) pays less than $28/hour at 40 hours ($58,240/year). Always compare annual totals, not just hourly rates.
- Salary is only part of compensation: Benefits, 401k match, bonuses, and PTO can add 20-30% to your real compensation. Two jobs with the same salary can differ by thousands in total value.
Common Mistakes
- Using 2,000 instead of 2,080 hours: 2,000 = 50 weeks × 40 hours (assumes 2 weeks unpaid). 2,080 = full 52 weeks. Pick the one that matches your actual paid weeks.
- Confusing gross and net: "$60,000 salary" usually means gross. Your monthly take-home is not $5,000 — it's roughly $3,750-$4,200 after taxes.
- Ignoring unpaid time: Commuting and off-the-clock work lower your real hourly rate. Use the Real Hourly Wage Calculator to see the true rate.
