Multiply your hourly wage by hours per week, then by weeks per year. For standard full-time work: hourly × 40 × 52 = annual salary. Example: $25/hour × 40 × 52 = $52,000/year. For a quick estimate, multiply hourly × 2,080 (the standard work-year hours).

Divide your annual salary by total work hours per year. For standard full-time (2,080 hours): salary ÷ 2,080 = hourly rate. Example: $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85/hour. Adjust the divisor if your real schedule is more or fewer than 40 hours a week.

The widget computes straight-time pay only, so do the overtime add-on separately. Under the FLSA, non-exempt workers earn 1.5× their regular rate for hours over 40 in a week. For 80 hours of OT per year at $25/hour: 80 × $37.50 = $3,000 on top of the $52,000 base, for a $55,000 total. A few states (notably California) also require daily overtime after 8 hours.

No — it returns gross pay only. Your take-home is reduced by federal income tax, FICA (7.65% for Social Security and Medicare), state and local income tax, and benefit deductions. Combined, these typically take 20%–35% off the top depending on bracket and state. For after-tax estimates, run the gross figure through a paycheck calculator.

Unpaid time reduces your effective annual income. Lower Weeks Per Year to reflect it: two unpaid weeks means 50 weeks, not 52. Example: $25/hour × 40 × 50 = $50,000 (versus $52,000 if all weeks were paid). Paid PTO does not require this adjustment because you're still being paid during those weeks.

2,080 is the simple 40 × 52 standard used by most private employers and HR software. 2,087 is the figure the U.S. Office of Personnel Management uses for federal civilian pay; it averages leap years over a 28-year cycle (2,087.143 rounded). The gap is about 0.34% — small for budgeting but meaningful for federal back-pay calculations.

Switch to Salary → Hourly mode, enter the offered salary, and use the realistic hours per week the new role expects, not 40 by default. A $70,000 offer at 40 hours is $33.65/hour; at 50 expected hours it's only $26.92/hour. If the salaried role is exempt, those extra hours come without overtime, so the comparison must be based on total expected hours.

Non-exempt workers (hourly or salaried) are entitled to FLSA overtime at 1.5× for hours over 40/week. Exempt workers — typically salaried at or above the federal threshold and meeting duties tests for executive, administrative, professional, or outside-sales roles — do not receive overtime. Most salaried office workers in the U.S. are exempt, which is why a salaried job's effective hourly rate can be much lower than its headline number suggests.

Start with your target gross income, then add roughly 25%–50% to cover self-employment tax (15.3% FICA), health insurance, retirement contributions, paid time off you'll have to fund yourself, and unbillable hours like admin and sales. A common rule of thumb: a $50/hour contractor rate is roughly equivalent to a $35–$38/hour employee rate with full benefits.

Bi-weekly pays every two weeks — 26 checks a year — so each check is annual ÷ 26. Semi-monthly pays twice a month (e.g., the 1st and 15th) — 24 checks a year — so each check is annual ÷ 24. On $52,000/year that's $2,000 bi-weekly versus $2,166.67 semi-monthly. Total annual pay is identical; the per-check size and timing differ.

Convert both to an effective hourly rate using realistic weekly hours, then compare. A $75,000 salary at 50 hrs/week works out to $28.85/hour; a $60,000 salary at 40 hrs/week is the same $28.85/hour. The dollar headline favors the first job; the per-hour value is identical, and the 40-hour role buys back 500 hours of your year.

Yes. Set Hours Per Week to your actual schedule — 20, 25, 30, or any number — and the math scales linearly. For example, $22/hour × 30 hours × 52 weeks = $34,320/year. Use one of the part-time presets to fill the schedule fields quickly.
