What this tool does
Your salary as an hourly rate
Enter the annual figure and it is broken down into hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly and monthly pay together.
Your real hours, not a standard week
Hours per week is yours to set, so 37.5, 40 or 45 gives an honest hourly figure rather than an assumed one.
Paid weeks, allowing for leave
Weeks per year defaults to 52, and lowering it for unpaid leave shows what the time off is actually costing per hour.
Take-home as well as gross
Choosing a filing status applies federal tax, Social Security and Medicare, so you can compare gross and net side by side.

Frequently asked questions
What is biweekly pay?
Biweekly means every two weeks - 26 pay periods per year. It is the most common pay schedule in the US. Bimonthly (twice a month, 24 periods) is different and less common. Some months in a biweekly schedule will have three paychecks instead of two.
How is hourly rate calculated from annual salary?
Hourly = Annual ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). The standard US assumption is 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours. But if you take 2 weeks unpaid leave, it is 40 × 50 = 2,000 hours.
What is the 2024 standard deduction?
For 2024: Single filers get $14,600; Married filing jointly get $29,200; Head of household get $21,900. The standard deduction is subtracted from gross income before applying tax brackets.
Is this tool accurate for all states?
It estimates federal income tax only. States like California, New York and New Jersey have significant additional state income taxes that would further reduce take-home pay. States like Texas, Florida, Nevada and Washington have no state income tax.
