Job offers and pay stubs express pay in all kinds of different periods — hourly, biweekly, monthly, annual — making it hard to compare two offers at a glance unless everything is converted to the same basis.
This calculator converts any pay rate into every other common pay period.
How it works
Enter your pay rate, its period, and (for hourly rates) your typical hours and weeks worked per year. The calculator converts everything to an annual salary first, then derives the monthly, weekly, and hourly-equivalent figures from that annual baseline.
- Enter pay rate.
- Enter pay period.
- Enter hours per week (for hourly conversion).
- Enter weeks worked per year.
- Click Calculate to see your results.
Examples
$25/hour, 40 hrs/week
A $25/hour rate at 40 hours/week for 52 weeks/year works out to a $52,000 annual salary — about $4,333/month or $1,000/week.
Who should use it
- Comparing a job offer's hourly rate against your current annual salary.
- Converting an annual salary figure into a monthly budget amount.
Industry applications
- Personal finance and job offer evaluation
- HR and compensation benchmarking
Advantages
- Converts between six different common pay periods in one step.
- Uses your actual hours and weeks worked for an accurate hourly conversion.
Limitations
- Doesn't account for overtime pay — see the site's Overtime Pay Calculator for that.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Confusing "biweekly" (26 pay periods/year) with "semimonthly" (24 pay periods/year) — they're close but not the same.
- Using an inaccurate weeks-per-year figure when converting an hourly rate, especially if unpaid time off isn't accounted for.
Best practices
- When comparing two job offers with different pay structures, always convert both to the same period (usually annual) before comparing.
Tips
- If a job posting only lists an hourly rate for a role that's effectively full-time, multiplying by 2,080 (40 hours × 52 weeks) gives a quick rough annual estimate — this calculator gives the precise version using your actual hours and weeks.
