Salary Calculator
Enter a pay amount, pick the period it represents, and instantly see the equivalent hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly and annual pay. Everything runs in your browser — nothing is sent anywhere or stored. This is a gross pay estimate, not tax advice.
How to use the salary calculator
- Type your pay amount and choose the period it represents.
- Adjust hours per week, days per week and weeks per year if your schedule is not the usual 40 / 5 / 52.
- Read off the equivalent figures for every period. Add a flat tax % to see a rough take-home amount.
Everything is derived from an annual base: hourly pay annualises as
rate × hours per week × weeks per year, and each other period is just the annual figure
divided by how many times it occurs in a year (12 months, 24 semi-monthly, 26 bi-weekly, and so on).

Frequently asked questions
How does the salary converter work?
You enter a pay amount and choose the period it represents — hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly or yearly. The tool converts it to an annual figure first, then derives every other period from that. For example, an hourly rate is annualised as rate × hours per week × weeks per year.
What do hours per week, days per week and weeks per year do?
They set how your pay is spread out. Hours per week (default 40) links hourly pay to weekly and annual pay. Days per week (default 5) splits weekly pay into a daily figure. Weeks per year (default 52) scales weekly pay to annual. Adjust them to match a part-time or unusual schedule.
How are bi-weekly and semi-monthly different?
Bi-weekly means every two weeks, so there are 26 pay periods a year (annual ÷ 26). Semi-monthly means twice a month, so there are 24 pay periods a year (annual ÷ 24). They are close but not identical, which is why both are shown.
What does the flat tax field do?
It applies a single flat percentage to every figure to give a rough after-tax (take-home) equivalent. Real payroll tax is progressive and includes many brackets, deductions and local rules, so treat this as a quick estimate only, not a precise net-pay calculation.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. All the maths runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server and nothing is stored. You can use it offline once the page has loaded.
Is this tax or financial advice?
No. This is a gross pay converter for quick comparisons and planning. It does not account for tax brackets, benefits, overtime, pension contributions or local rules, and it is not tax or financial advice. Check official figures for anything important.
