How pay periods are converted
Choose how often the quoted amount is earned, then set paid work hours, days, and weeks. The calculator converts gross pay to common time periods using that schedule.
Gross-pay formula
Annual gross pay = hourly rate × hours per week × working weeks per year; weekly, monthly, or annual amounts are converted using the selected pay period.
Example: hourly pay to yearly pay
At $25 per hour for 40 hours and 52 weeks, annual gross pay is $52,000.
Gross pay is not take-home pay
A year does not always contain 52 paid working weeks. Adjust the weeks field for unpaid leave, and remember this estimate does not subtract tax or benefits.
Compare pay periods
Compare a job offer stated hourly with another offer stated annually, or estimate gross pay over a month.
