An estimate of gross pay, before taxes
These figures don’t subtract federal or state income tax, Social Security and Medicare (FICA), or other paycheck deductions such as health insurance or retirement contributions. Your take-home pay will be lower.Federal minimum wage
The federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, in effect since July 24, 2009: $15,080 a year at 40 hours a week. Employers can pay tipped employees a cash wage of $2.13 an hour as long as tips bring them up to $7.25. Many states and cities set a higher minimum, and the higher one applies.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert an hourly wage to a yearly salary?
Multiply the hourly wage by the hours you work per week and by the paid weeks per year. At $25 an hour, 40 hours a week, and 52 weeks, that is 25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 a year.
How do I convert a yearly salary to an hourly wage?
Divide the salary by the hours worked in a year. A $60,000 salary at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is 60,000 ÷ 2,080 = about $28.85 an hour.
Is the result before or after taxes?
Before taxes. The calculator shows gross pay: federal and state income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and any deductions from your paycheck are not subtracted.
What is the difference between biweekly and semimonthly pay?
Biweekly means every two weeks, 26 paychecks a year. Semimonthly means twice a month, 24 paychecks a year, so each semimonthly paycheck is a little larger.
How do vacation days and holidays change the result?
If you are paid by the hour, days off without pay lower your yearly pay: 10 unpaid days at 8 hours cut 80 hours from the year. On a salary, the yearly pay stays the same, so each hour you actually work is worth more.
Does the calculator include overtime?
No. It multiplies every hour by the same rate. Under federal law, most hourly employees earn 1.5 times their rate for hours over 40 in a workweek, so long weeks pay more than the straight-time figure.
The formulas
- Hourly to yearly: yearly pay = hourly wage × hours per week × paid weeks per year.
- Yearly to hourly: hourly wage = yearly salary ÷ (hours per week × paid weeks per year).
- Paychecks: biweekly = yearly ÷ 26, semimonthly = yearly ÷ 24, and monthly = yearly ÷ 12.
- Per day: hourly wage × (hours per week ÷ days worked per week).
A worked example
Say you earn $22 an hour, work 40 hours a week, and are paid for 52 weeks. That is 2,080 hours a year, so your gross pay is 22 × 2,080 = $45,760 a year. Divided by 12, it is $3,813.33 a month; by 26, $1,760 every two weeks; and by 24, $1,906.67 twice a month. If you take 10 unpaid days off, you work 80 fewer hours and earn $44,000.
Gross pay, not take-home pay
Every figure here is before taxes. Your paycheck will be smaller after federal income tax, state and local income tax where they apply, Social Security and Medicare (FICA), and deductions such as health insurance or retirement contributions.
Hourly, daily, and weekly pay versus paychecks
Hourly, daily, and weekly figures are what you earn for time you work. Biweekly, semimonthly, and monthly figures spread the yearly total evenly, so if you are paid for fewer than 52 weeks they also cover the weeks without pay.
