Salary Calculator
Convert a pay amount between every common pay period — hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, and annual — using your actual hours and days per week. Amounts are gross (before tax) and unit-free, so they work in any currency.

Example: 25/hour at 40 h/week is 52,000/year.
How the conversion works
Every amount is first annualized, then divided back into each period. With a 40-hour, 5-day week, 25 per hour means 25 × 40 × 52 = 52,000 per year — which is 4,333.33 monthly, 2,000 bi-weekly, and 2,166.67 semi-monthly. The schedule fields matter: at 20 hours per week the same hourly rate annualizes to half as much, which is why quoted "annual equivalents" for part-time work are often misleading.
Comparing job offers fairly
Convert both offers to the same period before comparing — annual for the big picture, hourly for what your time actually earns. An offer with a higher annual figure but longer standard hours can carry a lower hourly rate. Remember also that this page compares gross pay only: benefits, retirement matching, bonuses, and tax treatment can move the real value of an offer substantially.
Frequently asked questions
Why is the monthly figure not just weekly × 4?
A year has 52 weeks but 12 months, and 52 ÷ 12 ≈ 4.33 weeks per month. The calculator converts everything through the annual amount, so monthly pay is annual ÷ 12 — the way employers actually compute it.
What is the difference between bi-weekly and semi-monthly?
Bi-weekly means every two weeks: 26 pay periods a year. Semi-monthly means twice a month (often the 15th and last day): 24 periods. The same salary therefore gives a slightly smaller bi-weekly cheque — but two extra ones per year.
Are these amounts before or after tax?
Before tax (gross). Income tax, social contributions, and other deductions vary by country, region, and personal situation, so a take-home figure needs a dedicated, jurisdiction-aware calculator.
Does the calculator account for unpaid vacation?
It uses the standard 52-week year. If you take unpaid time off, multiply the hourly rate by the hours you actually expect to work instead of relying on the annualized figure.
