About the Salary Calculator
What is the Salary Calculator?
A salary calculator converts an annual salary into the equivalent hourly, daily, weekly and monthly pay, and estimates take-home pay after a given tax rate.
Why use this calculator?
It is invaluable for comparing a salaried offer with an hourly one, checking whether overtime is worth it, or simply budgeting month to month.
How to use it
- Enter your gross annual salary.
- Enter your contracted hours per week and paid weeks per year.
- Add an estimated tax rate for the take-home figures.
- Compare the different pay periods.
Formula
Hourly = Annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year)
Take-home figures are rough; actual deductions include tax, Social Security and Medicare or their local equivalents, and retirement contributions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I compare an hourly job with a salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by the hours you would actually work per year. Salaried roles often include unpaid extra hours, which lowers the real hourly rate.
Should I use 52 weeks or fewer?
Use the number of weeks you are actually paid. If you get paid vacation, 52 is right; if you are unpaid for holidays, reduce it.
What is the difference between marginal and effective tax rate?
Your marginal rate applies to your last dollar of income. Your effective rate is the average rate you pay across all income, which is always lower.
What is a tax deduction versus a credit?
A deduction reduces taxable income, so it saves you your marginal rate on that amount. A credit reduces your tax bill directly, dollar for dollar.
What is taxable income?
It is your gross income minus adjustments and deductions that the tax code allows, such as the standard deduction or retirement contributions.
Do these results reflect my exact jurisdiction?
No. Tax rules differ widely by country, state and year. Use these numbers as an approximation and confirm with official tables or a tax professional.
Can I print or share my result?
