  • Paid weeks per year is yours to set. Using 52 counts paid holidays as paid weeks. Lower it if some weeks are unpaid.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?

Divide the yearly salary by the hours worked in a year, which is hours per week times paid weeks. For 52,000 at 40 hours and 52 weeks, that is 52,000 ÷ 2,080 = 25.00.

How is monthly pay calculated?

As one twelfth of the yearly figure. A month is not exactly four weeks, so it is not four times the weekly pay.

Does this show my take-home pay?

No. It converts gross pay between periods. Your take-home pay depends on tax and deductions that this tool does not apply.
