Hourly to Salary: Enter $25 per hour, 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year, 10 holidays, and 15 vacation days. Review the annual row to see unadjusted and adjusted salaries, then scan monthly and biweekly rows for budgeting. Salary to Hourly: Enter $5,000 with monthly frequency and the same schedule. View the Hourly row to see unadjusted and adjusted effective rates. Use these numbers to compare roles that list pay differently or to align a contractor rate with a desired annual income target.

This calculator assumes 52 working weeks by default and uses your inputs to compute two sets of values.

  • Hourly to Salary: Unadjusted Annual = Hourly × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year. Effective Hours per Year = Total Hours − Days Off × (Hours per Week ÷ 5). Adjusted Annual = Hourly × Effective Hours.
  • Salary to Hourly: Annual Salary = Entered amount converted by frequency. Unadjusted Hourly = Annual ÷ (Hours per Week × Weeks per Year). Adjusted Hourly = Annual ÷ Effective Hours.

Does this include taxes or benefits? No. Results show gross pay. Use the figures for budgeting or comparison, then consult payroll or a tax calculator for deductions. What is the difference between biweekly and semi-monthly? Biweekly pays every two weeks, typically 26 times per year. Semi-monthly pays twice per month, 24 times per year. Why are adjusted amounts lower? Adjusted values reduce total work hours by your holidays and vacation days, which raises the effective hourly rate for a fixed salary and lowers annualized totals from hourly input.

This calculator provides educational estimates only. It does not provide financial, investment, or tax advice. Actual pay can differ due to overtime, unpaid leave, local laws, employer policies, and payroll deductions. Always confirm details with your employer or a qualified financial professional before making financial decisions.
