How the Salary Conversion Works
Converting an annual salary to other pay periods is straightforward division. The standard assumptions are 52 weeks per year, 5 working days per week, and the hours per week you specify.
Divide your annual salary by the total number of working hours in a year. For a standard 40-hour week: Annual Salary / 2,080 = Hourly Rate. For example, a $75,000 salary equals about $36.06 per hour.
A standard full-time year has 2,080 working hours (40 hours/week x 52 weeks). Some calculations exclude holidays and vacation, bringing it to roughly 1,920-2,000 hours.
Biweekly pay is every two weeks (26 paychecks/year). Semi-monthly pay is twice per month, typically the 1st and 15th (24 paychecks/year). Biweekly checks are slightly smaller but you get two extra per year.

If you regularly work overtime, increase the hours per week field. For example, if you work 45 hours/week, enter 45. The hourly rate will be lower to reflect the additional hours.
Understanding your pay across different periods helps with budgeting and comparing job offers. A $75,000 annual salary works out to about $36/hour, $1,442/week, or $6,250/month before taxes.
