Results are gross (pre-tax) estimates. Actual take-home pay depends on federal and state tax rates, benefits deductions, and your W-4 elections. Use the Take-Home Pay Estimator to estimate net pay.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate annual salary from hourly rate?
Multiply your hourly rate × hours per week × 52. For a standard full-time schedule (40 hrs/week): $20/hr × 40 × 52 = $41,600/year. Adjust the hours figure if you work part-time or variable hours.
Should I use 52 weeks or account for vacation?
It depends on what you are calculating. For gross annual earnings (what you are paid), use 52 weeks — your employer pays you even when you are on vacation. For actual hours worked (relevant for labor cost analysis), subtract vacation weeks.
How do I compare an hourly offer to a salaried offer?
Convert both to annual figures using the same hours assumption (usually 2,080 hours = 40 hrs × 52 weeks). Then compare total compensation including benefits — a salaried role with better health insurance may be worth more than its salary difference from an hourly role implies.
What is a biweekly equivalent salary?
Biweekly salary = Annual salary ÷ 26. For $50,000/year: $50,000 ÷ 26 = $1,923.08 per biweekly check (gross). See our biweekly vs semimonthly guide for more on how pay frequency affects your budget.
