How to Use the Income Calculator
Whether you are negotiating a new salary, planning a budget, or considering a job offer with an hourly rate, our income calculator provides a comprehensive breakdown of your earnings. This tool allows you to convert between different pay frequencies quickly and accurately.
To get started, simply select your calculation goal from the dropdown menu and enter your known financial data. The calculator handles the math for standard work weeks and custom schedules.
- Pay Amount
- The dollar amount you currently earn or expect to earn. This can be an hourly wage (e.g., $25.00), a monthly salary, or a total annual salary.
- Hours per Week
- The number of hours you work in a typical week. The standard full-time equivalent is usually 40 hours.
- Weeks per Year
- The number of weeks you are paid for in a year. While most use 52 weeks, you might adjust this if you take unpaid leave or work seasonally.
How It Works: The Formulas
Understanding how your income is distributed is essential for financial literacy. The income calculator uses standard mathematical formulas to bridge the gap between hourly and annual figures.
Annual Income = Hourly Wage × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year
- Hourly to Annual: Multiply your rate by your weekly hours, then by the weeks worked in a year.
- Annual to Hourly: Divide your total salary by the total number of weeks, then divide by the hours worked per week.
- Monthly to Annual: Multiply your monthly gross pay by 12.
Calculation Example
Scenario: You are offered a job that pays $32.50 per hour. You expect to work 40 hours per week and receive 2 weeks of paid vacation (total 52 paid weeks).
Step-by-step solution:
- Determine Weekly Income: $32.50 × 40 hours = $1,300.00
- Determine Annual Income: $1,300.00 × 52 weeks = $67,600.00
- Determine Monthly Income: $67,600.00 / 12 months = $5,633.33
- Determine Daily Income (5 days): $1,300.00 / 5 days = $260.00
Gross vs. Net Income
It is important to note that this income calculator determines your gross income—the amount earned before taxes, insurance premiums, and retirement contributions are deducted. Your net income (take-home pay) will be lower depending on your tax bracket and specific withholdings. Typically, you can expect to see 20% to 30% of your gross pay go toward these deductions.
Common Questions
How many work hours are in a year?
For a standard full-time employee working 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, there are 2,080 work hours in a year. Many government and corporate entities use this "2080" figure as the baseline for salary conversions.
How is bi-weekly pay calculated?
Bi-weekly pay occurs every two weeks. To find this, take your annual salary and divide it by 26. This is distinct from semi-monthly pay (twice a month), which is your annual salary divided by 24.
Should I count paid time off (PTO)?
If your employer provides paid vacation or sick leave, you should count those weeks toward your "Weeks per Year" total (usually 52). If you take 2 weeks of unpaid leave and don't work the rest of that time, you would use 50 weeks in the income calculator.
