SalaryToHourly FAQ

Enter your salary amount, choose whether it's yearly, monthly, bi-weekly or weekly pay, then enter how many hours you work per week. The calculator will automatically convert your salary into an hourly rate using your selected assumptions.

Type your hourly rate, choose how many hours you work per week, and pick how many weeks per year you usually work (for example, 52 weeks). The calculator will show your estimated weekly, bi-weekly, monthly and yearly pay.

If you work full-time in the US, 40 hours per week is a common default. If you usually work more or fewer hours, you can change the number to match your real schedule (for example, 32, 37.5, or 45 hours per week).

52 weeks per year is the most common assumption for paycheck calculators. It assumes you are paid evenly across the full year. If your job or contract uses a different number of weeks, you can change this in the settings to match your situation.

No. The basic calculators are designed for regular base pay only. If you receive overtime, bonuses, commission, or tips, you'll need to add those amounts yourself to find your total pay.

No. All results are before tax. Your actual take-home pay after tax will be lower and depends on your country, state, and personal tax situation. Always treat the results as estimates, not official tax advice.

Yes. Many people use these tools to compare an hourly offer with a salary offer (or vice versa). Convert both to the same unit (for example, hourly rate), using the same hours and weeks assumptions, then compare the numbers directly.

In many places, full-time work is around 35–40 hours per week, but this can vary by employer and country. Always check your contract or talk to HR to confirm what "full-time" means in your situation.

No problem. Simply enter the number of hours you actually work (for example, 20 hours for part-time). The calculator will use your real hours to compute your hourly or yearly pay.

Most calculators assume your salary is spread evenly over the whole year. If you regularly take unpaid weeks off, you may want to reduce the number of weeks per year (for example, from 52 to 48) so the hourly rate better reflects your real working time.

Employers may use slightly different assumptions for weeks per year, paid holidays, or rounding rules. They may also quote your rate before or after certain deductions. Use your contract and pay stub as the final reference.

A pay raise percentage shows how much your salary increased over your old salary. The formula is:

(New salary − Old salary) ÷ Old salary × 100%

You can use the pay raise calculator on this site to do the math for you automatically.

The math is exact based on the inputs and assumptions you choose. However, real-world pay can be different due to overtime, holidays, unpaid leave, bonuses, taxes and employer-specific rules. Treat these results as a helpful estimate, not a contract.
