Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert hourly to annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply by 52. For example, $25/hour × 40 hours/week × 52 weeks = $52,000 per year. Use the "Hourly → Salary" tab above to get all pay periods at once.
How do I calculate my take-home pay?
Take-home pay is your gross salary minus taxes and deductions. Use the "Take-Home" tab and enter your gross annual salary along with your effective total tax rate. Your actual net pay will depend on your filing status, state, benefits deductions, and other factors — this calculator gives a reliable estimate.
What is biweekly pay?
Biweekly pay means you receive a paycheck every two weeks — 26 paychecks per year. It is one of the most common pay schedules in the United States. To find your biweekly gross pay, divide your annual salary by 26. A $52,000 salary, for instance, works out to $2,000 biweekly.
How many working hours in a year?
A standard full-time employee working 40 hours per week works 2,080 hours per year (40 × 52). Accounting for approximately 10 federal holidays brings that closer to 2,000 hours. Enter your actual hours per week in the calculator for a precise result.
