About this salary converter
The salary converter expresses a single pay number in five frequencies at once — hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly — using a work schedule that you control.
The formula has two steps. First the input is converted to a yearly amount: hour × hours_per_week × weeks_per_year, day × days_per_week × weeks_per_year, week × weeks_per_year, month × 12, or year × 1. Then yearly is divided into other units: ÷ (hours_per_week × weeks_per_year) for hourly, ÷ (days_per_week × weeks_per_year) for daily, ÷ weeks_per_year for weekly, and ÷ 12 for monthly.
Worked example: salary 75,000 per year, 40 hours/week, 5 days/week, 52 weeks/year. Hourly = 75,000 ÷ (40 × 52) ≈ 36.06. Daily = 75,000 ÷ (5 × 52) ≈ 288.46. Weekly = 75,000 ÷ 52 ≈ 1,442.31. Monthly = 75,000 ÷ 12 = 6,250.
These are gross figures from your schedule — actual paychecks depend on taxes, deductions, overtime, and unpaid leave. Use the Paycheck Calculator for take-home pay. Not financial advice.
FAQ
- Why ask for hours per week, days per week, and weeks per year?
- Hourly and daily figures depend on how much you actually work. A full-time 40h × 52w schedule gives different hourly pay than a 35h × 48w schedule for the same yearly salary. Letting you set the schedule keeps the conversion honest for part-time, contract, and reduced-year jobs.
- Does the salary converter include taxes?
- No. It converts gross amounts only. To estimate take-home pay, plug the result into the Paycheck Calculator with your tax rates.
- What if my year has paid time off?
- If you are salaried, leave weeks_per_year at 52 — your pay does not change when you take PTO. If you are paid only for weeks worked (contractor or seasonal), drop weeks_per_year to the actual number of working weeks (for example 48 if you take 4 weeks off unpaid).
- Can I convert a contractor day rate to a yearly figure?
- Yes. Enter the amount, set the frequency to Day, and set days_per_week and weeks_per_year to your real schedule. The Yearly figure is then day_rate × days_per_week × weeks_per_year.
- Why does my monthly figure not match my paycheck exactly?
- Monthly here is yearly ÷ 12. If you are paid bi-weekly (26 paychecks/year), two months a year have three paychecks instead of two, so any single paycheck × 2 will not equal yearly ÷ 12.
- Is anything stored or sent to a server?
- No. All calculation runs in your browser; nothing is sent or saved. Closing the page clears every input.
