Biweekly and monthly figures use standard payroll divisors (26 and 12). This is gross pay math only. See Sources & methodology for assumptions.

How this is calculated

Salaried jobs are often quoted as an annual figure, but hourly workers think in rate × hours. This tool divides your annual salary by the total hours you actually work: hours per week × weeks per year.

The hourly equivalent is useful for comparing offers, checking whether a salaried role pays less than an hourly one after accounting for unpaid overtime, or sanity-checking side-gig rates.

Results are gross only. To see net pay after tax, continue to the take-home pay calculator.

Formula

Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year); biweekly gross = annual salary ÷ 26

Numbers and assumptions are documented on our Sources & methodology page.

Common questions

Biweekly payroll usually means 26 pay periods per year (52 weeks ÷ 2). This page uses that standard divisor for the biweekly gross figure.
