Salary Calculator

Divide your annual salary by the total number of hours you work in a year. For a full-time worker on a standard schedule that is 2,080 hours, so a $60,000 annual salary divided by 2,080 equals roughly $28.85 per hour. If you work fewer weeks or different hours, divide by your actual annual hours instead. This calculator handles the conversion automatically once you enter your salary and schedule details.

Gross pay is your total earnings before any deductions are taken out. Net pay, often called take-home pay, is what remains after deductions such as income tax, social security contributions, health insurance premiums, and retirement contributions. The size of the gap between gross and net depends heavily on your country, income level, and benefit elections. This calculator estimates net pay by applying a single deductions percentage that you enter, which lets you approximate take-home pay without country-specific tax tables.

Bi-weekly pay means you receive a paycheck every two weeks, resulting in 26 paychecks per year. Semi-monthly pay means you are paid twice a month, typically on fixed dates such as the 1st and 15th, resulting in exactly 24 paychecks per year. Because a year has 52 weeks, bi-weekly workers receive two extra paychecks compared to semi-monthly workers. This calculator uses the bi-weekly period, so the bi-weekly figure is your annual salary divided by 26.

Monthly pay is simply your annual salary divided by 12. For example, a $72,000 annual salary equals $6,000 per month. When converting from hourly pay, the calculator first builds the annual figure using your hours per week and weeks per year, then divides by 12 to get the monthly amount. Keep in mind that months have different numbers of working days, so monthly pay is an average rather than an exact reflection of each calendar month.

This calculator does not apply any country-specific tax rates or slabs. It uses a single optional deductions percentage that you enter yourself to estimate net pay. That percentage can represent whatever combination of income tax, social security, and other withholdings applies to your situation. For a precise tax calculation based on Pakistani FBR income tax slabs for the 2025-26 year, use the Pakistan Salary Calculator on this site, which applies the exact slab rates.

Yes, the salary calculator is completely free with no signup, no account, and nothing to install. All calculations run instantly in your browser, so your salary details are never sent to a server. You can use it as many times as you like for different salary amounts, pay periods, and deduction scenarios. There are no limits and no premium features hidden behind a paywall.

Enter the salary for the first offer and note all six period amounts and the net column. Then change the amount and period to match the second offer and compare. For example, if one job offers $55,000 per year and another offers $27 per hour, enter each in turn to see both annual and monthly equivalents side by side. Adjust the deductions percentage to match each job's benefit package for a closer comparison of true take-home pay.

Overtime is not automatically included in this calculator. If you regularly work overtime, you can estimate its value separately by multiplying your overtime hours by your overtime rate (typically 1.5 times your regular hourly rate) and adding that to your regular annual figure. Alternatively, enter a higher effective hourly rate that blends your regular and overtime hours, or increase the hours per week figure to include your typical overtime hours. Both approaches give a reasonable approximation.

Part-time work changes the result significantly because annual pay depends directly on hours worked. Reduce the hours per week field to match your actual schedule. For example, working 20 hours per week instead of 40 halves the annual equivalent of the same hourly rate. You can also reduce weeks per year if you work seasonally or take unpaid leave. The calculator will instantly recalculate all six pay periods to reflect your real schedule.

The pay-period conversions are mathematically exact based on the hours per week, days per week, and weeks per year you enter. The net pay estimate is only as accurate as the deductions percentage you provide, since the calculator does not know your actual tax bracket, benefits elections, or country-specific rules. For a rough take-home estimate, entering your combined effective deduction rate works well. For precise after-tax figures, consult a payroll tool that uses your country's tax tables.

The standard assumption is 260 working days per year, based on 5 days per week multiplied by 52 weeks. This excludes weekends but does not subtract public holidays or vacation days, which vary by country and employer. If your contract specifies a different number of working days, you can adjust the days per week or weeks per year fields in this calculator to match your actual schedule and get an accurate daily pay figure.
