Pay Converter: Hourly, Monthly and Yearly Pay

Enter any amount in the converter above — an hourly rate, a monthly figure or an annual salary — and it returns every pay period at once. It uses the standard full-time basis of 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, 2,080 paid hours a year, and lets you change both numbers if your job is part-time or has unpaid weeks.

How the conversion works

Hourly to yearly multiplies by 2,080. Yearly to hourly divides by 2,080. Monthly to hourly multiplies by 12 first, then divides by 2,080. The only place this goes wrong is the assumption underneath it: 2,080 hours assumes every one of the 52 weeks is paid. Salaried roles usually are. An hourly job with two unpaid weeks is 2,000 hours, so the same rate pays about 4% less over the year.

Biweekly and twice-monthly are different numbers

Being paid every two weeks means 26 paychecks a year. Being paid on the 15th and the last day of the month means 24. On the same salary the biweekly paycheck is smaller, and twice a year three of them land in one month. That third paycheck is not a bonus — it is part of the same annual pay arriving early in the calendar — and budgeting as if every month had three is a common way to come up short.

Before you use these numbers in a negotiation

Every figure here is gross pay. Two jobs paying the same gross can leave very different amounts in your account once state tax, health premiums, retirement matching and commute costs are in. A self-employed version of the same work is not comparable at all, because you pay both halves of FICA and fund your own time off — the freelance rate and contractor-versus-employee calculators exist for exactly that comparison.
