Convert pay between hourly, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and annual, and estimate take-home after Social Security and Medicare. Gross vs. net breakdown.
Monthly pre-tax deductions like 401(k) or health insurance. These reduce income tax; Social Security and Medicare still apply.

Estimates for educational purposes only. Take-home reflects FICA plus any income-tax rates you enter; it is not exact withholding. Actual pay depends on your W-4, tax brackets, and state rules. Verify with the Paycheck Calculator or a tax professional.

Whether you're comparing job offers, turning an hourly wage into a yearly figure, or budgeting your paychecks, this salary calculator converts your pay across every common period — hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, and annual — and estimates take-home pay after Social Security and Medicare.
A salary can be expressed hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly (every two weeks), semi-monthly (twice a month), monthly, or annually. Converting between them lets you compare offers on equal footing and see your true earnings. Take-home (net) pay is what remains after payroll taxes: this tool always subtracts FICA — 6.2% Social Security up to the annual wage base ($184,500 in 2026) and 1.45% Medicare — because every W-2 employee pays it. You can optionally add federal, state, and local income-tax rates for a fuller net estimate.
Annual Salary Formula
Convert an hourly wage into weekly, monthly, and yearly pay to understand your true earnings
Compare two offers on the same annual basis before deciding which to accept
Break an annual salary into bi-weekly or monthly take-home to plan a household budget
Work out the hourly rate a target annual income requires at your planned hours
Put job offers with different pay structures on the same annual basis
See what an annual salary really works out to per hour
Estimate net pay with Social Security and Medicare already included
Break pay into per-paycheck amounts to build a realistic budget

Multiply your hourly rate by hours worked per week, then by 52 weeks. Example: $25/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000 per year.
At 40 hours a week and 52 weeks a year (2,080 hours), $60,000 ÷ 2,080 ≈ $28.85 per hour. Fewer hours raise the effective hourly rate; more hours lower it.
Yes. FICA is applied automatically — 6.2% Social Security on wages up to $184,500 (2026) plus 1.45% Medicare on all wages (an extra 0.9% applies above $200,000). That is why net pay is below gross even with no income-tax rate entered.
Bi-weekly means every two weeks (26 paychecks a year); semi-monthly means twice a month on fixed dates (24 paychecks a year). Bi-weekly paychecks are slightly smaller, but there are two extra per year.
Gross is before deductions. Take-home (net) is after FICA, any federal/state/local income tax, and pre-tax deductions such as 401(k) and health insurance.
FICA is exact. Income tax here uses flat rates you enter, not brackets, so treat that portion as an estimate. For precise, state-specific withholding based on your W-4, use the Paycheck Calculator.
