Assumptions
Quick rule of thumb (US): To estimate hourly rate from annual salary, drop three zeros and divide by 2. $60,000/yr → 60 ÷ 2 = $30/hr (assumes 40-hr week, 50 working weeks).

How this calculator works

Enter any amount and select whether it's per hour, day, week, month, or year. The calculator converts it across all five units using your assumptions about hours per day, days per week, weeks per year, and paid time off.

Gross vs. net pay

This calculator computes gross earnings (before tax, social security, health insurance, retirement contributions, and other deductions). Net pay — what actually lands in your bank — is typically 65–80% of gross in the US, depending on state, filing status, and benefits.

Salary vs. hourly — quick contrast

Hourly workers get paid per hour worked, qualify for overtime (1.5× under FLSA), but don't always receive benefits or paid leave. Salaried workers get a fixed annual amount, usually include benefits and PTO, but exempt salaried employees don't get overtime regardless of hours worked.

Use cases

Why "50 weeks" is the default

The classic US "drop three zeros, divide by two" rule assumes 50 working weeks per year (52 weeks minus 2 weeks of vacation). For more precision, adjust the PTO field. The European norm is 4–5 weeks PTO, so use weeks=52, PTO=5 for ~47 working weeks.
