How to use Salary Calculator
This salary calculator converts pay between hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and annual figures, and estimates take-home pay after typical deductions. Whether you are comparing a job offer, negotiating a raise or budgeting, it shows your gross and net income across every pay period so you can compare like with like. Adjust hours, weeks worked and deductions to match your situation.
- Enter a pay amount and choose its period (hourly, monthly, annual, etc.).
- Set hours per week and weeks worked per year if using hourly pay.
- Add tax or deduction percentages for a net estimate.
- Review your salary converted across all pay periods.
- Compare gross versus take-home figures.
Your data never leaves your device — 100% private processing.
Converting between pay periods
Annual salary is hourly rate × hours per week × weeks worked per year; the other periods divide from there (monthly = annual ÷ 12, weekly = annual ÷ 52, and so on). Comparing offers fairly means converting both to the same period and accounting for differences in hours, paid leave and benefits — a higher headline salary with longer hours can be a lower effective hourly rate.
| Period | Gross amount |
|---|---|
| Hourly (40h/wk) | ~$28.85 |
| Weekly | ~$1,154 |
| Monthly | $5,000 |
| Annual | $60,000 |
Gross versus net (take-home) pay
Gross pay is before deductions; net (take-home) pay is what lands in your account after income tax, payroll taxes and any retirement or benefit contributions. Two jobs with the same gross can have very different take-home depending on benefits and pre-tax deductions, so always compare net pay plus the value of benefits.
