Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert hourly wage to annual salary?
Multiply hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year. For example: $25/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000/year. Our calculator handles this automatically and adjusts for your specific schedule.
How do I convert annual salary to hourly rate?
Divide annual salary by (hours per week × weeks per year). For example: $60,000 ÷ (40 × 52) = $28.85/hour. Enter your annual salary in our tool and select 'Annual' to see your hourly equivalent.
What if I don't work 52 weeks per year?
Adjust the 'Weeks/Year' field. If you have 2 weeks unpaid vacation, use 50 weeks. If you have 4 weeks unpaid time off, use 48 weeks. This gives you accurate calculations for your actual working time.
How do I compare two job offers with different pay structures?
Use our 'Compare Offers' mode. Enter Offer 1 (e.g., $75,000 annual) and Offer 2 (e.g., $40/hour). Set the hours for each. We'll normalize both to annual and hourly rates and show you which is better.
How is overtime pay calculated?
First, calculate your regular hourly rate. Then multiply by the OT rate (typically 1.5x or 'time and a half'). For example: $20/hour base × 1.5 = $30/hour OT. Our Overtime mode automatically adds OT earnings to your total.
What's the difference between gross and net salary?
Gross salary is your total earnings before deductions. Net salary (take-home pay) is what you receive after taxes, insurance, retirement contributions, etc. Our tool shows gross by default, with an option to estimate federal taxes.
Is the tax estimate accurate?
Our tax estimate uses simplified 2024 US federal tax brackets (single filer). It doesn't include FICA (Social Security/Medicare), state taxes, or deductions/credits. Use it as a rough estimate—consult a tax professional for exact figures.
How do I account for part-time work?
Set your actual hours per week. For 20-hour part-time work, enter 20 in 'Hours/Week'. The calculator will correctly show your annual earnings based on that schedule. Use our 'Part-Time' presets for quick setup.
What's the 4-day work week calculation?
A typical 4-day week is 32 hours (4 days × 8 hours) instead of 40. Select our '4-Day Week (32h)' preset. This accurately calculates your daily and hourly rates based on a compressed schedule.
Why does my daily rate seem high?
We calculate daily rate as Annual ÷ Work Days per year. If you work 5 days/week for 52 weeks = 260 work days. A $52,000 salary = $200/day. This is your 'work day' rate, not a calendar day rate.
