Salary Calculator

Convert between hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly and annual pay. Adjust hours per week, days per week and weeks per year for unpaid time off.

Direct Answer

Assumes paid every week. Adjust weeks/year for unpaid time off (e.g., 48 for 4 weeks unpaid).

What is the difference between biweekly and semimonthly pay?
Biweekly employees receive 26 paychecks per year (paid every two weeks, typically resulting in two months with three paychecks). Semimonthly employees receive 24 paychecks per year (paid twice a month, such as on the 15th and last day of the month).
How many work hours are in a standard full-time year?

Does this calculator reflect net take-home pay or gross income?
Calculations reflect gross earnings. Net take-home pay depends on federal, state, and local income taxes, FICA (Social Security & Medicare), and elective retirement or health insurance withholdings.
