What to know
Hourly to salary, explained
Common assumptions
Most salary calculators use 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year. That equals 2,080 work hours annually, but your result can be more accurate when you enter your real schedule.
When to adjust hours and weeks
Adjust the inputs for part-time work, seasonal jobs, unpaid time off, or a schedule that changes throughout the year. Even a small change can meaningfully affect annual pay.
Before-tax vs. after-tax pay
Gross pay is not the same as take-home pay. Taxes, benefits, retirement contributions, and other deductions vary by person, employer, and state.
Common mistakes to avoid
Do not confuse bi-weekly with semi-monthly pay, forget unpaid vacation, or compare a salary offer to an hourly rate without checking the expected schedule and benefits.
Using this number for job offers
Use annualized pay as a starting point, then consider overtime rules, paid time off, bonuses, health insurance, and retirement contributions before making a decision.
