- Enter your pay rate. Type any amount in the appropriate field: hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or annual. The calculator fills in all other fields automatically based on a standard 40-hour, 5-day work week.
- Adjust hours or days if needed. If you work part-time (e.g., 30 hours/week), change the hours per week value and all conversions update. Freelancers working variable hours can adjust hours per week to match their typical schedule.
- Adjust weeks per year. The default is 52 weeks. If you take unpaid time off, reduce the weeks. For a calculation based on only paid work time (excluding holidays), use 50 weeks for a rough estimate.
All calculations use gross pay (before taxes). For take-home pay after federal and state taxes, use our paycheck calculator.
