✓ No signup ✓ Multiple pay frequencies ✓ Works on mobile
Four steps, whichever way you're paid.
Use Salary Converter if you're paid a fixed amount per period, or Hourly Wage Calculator if you're paid by the hour.
Type your income amount and pick a pay frequency — or your hourly rate, hours per week and weeks worked per year.
In Hourly mode, add overtime hours and a multiplier. In Salary mode, adjust weeks worked to account for unpaid leave.
Hit Calculate to see your income converted across every pay frequency, in the currency you selected.
No calculator needed — just multiply your pay by the number of pay periods in a year.
| You're Paid | Multiply By | Formula |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly | Hours/Week × Weeks/Year | Hourly Wage × Hours × Weeks |
| Daily | Days/Week × Weeks/Year | Daily Pay × Days × Weeks |
| Weekly | 52 | Weekly Pay × 52 |
| Bi-Weekly | 26 | Bi-Weekly Pay × 26 |
| Semi-Monthly | 24 | Semi-Monthly Pay × 24 |
| Monthly | 12 | Monthly Pay × 12 |
| Quarterly | 4 | Quarterly Pay × 4 |
The only figure worth double-checking is weeks worked per year. Full-time employment is usually 52 weeks, but unpaid leave, unpaid holidays or seasonal work should be subtracted first for an accurate result.
The two numbers that get confused on almost every form.
The gap between the two is typically 20–35% of gross income, depending on your tax bracket, benefits elections and location — which is exactly why it matters which figure a form or lender is asking for.
This is what the calculator above computes by default.
Every result from the Salary Converter and Hourly Wage Calculator above is a gross figure — your pay before taxes or deductions. Enter your income amount and pay frequency (or hourly wage, hours and weeks worked) and the calculator multiplies it out to a full year, exactly as shown in the formula table above.
Take your gross result and subtract what actually gets withheld.
This tool calculates gross income directly, since tax rates vary by country, state and personal circumstances. To estimate your net annual income, take the gross figure from above and subtract your income tax, payroll tax, and any pre-tax deductions like retirement contributions or health insurance premiums.
For a precise figure, use your latest pay stub's net pay and multiply it by the number of pay periods in a year — that reflects your actual withholding rather than an estimated percentage.
Three common pay situations, worked step by step.
Beyond a single paycheck conversion.
Convert two offers with different pay frequencies onto the same annual basis before deciding.
Get the exact gross annual figure most lenders ask for on an application form.
Know your current annual equivalent before countering a new offer or asking for a raise.
Work backward from a target annual income to figure out what hourly or project rate to charge.
Plan monthly and weekly budgets around an accurate yearly total instead of a rough guess.
Check your projected annual income against tax brackets and retirement contribution limits.
Built on standard payroll math, not guesswork.
This calculator uses the same period-multiplier formulas payroll departments use to convert between pay frequencies — hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly and annual. Every conversion is a straightforward multiplication, with no rounding shortcuts or hidden assumptions, so the figure you enter is the figure the math is built on.
The overtime calculation in Hourly mode follows the standard 1.5× (or custom) multiplier applied to hours worked beyond the standard week. Currency support simply applies the correct symbol to your result — it does not convert between currencies, since exchange rates change daily and this tool works from the numbers you provide.
Common questions about annual income and this calculator.
Annual income is the total amount of money you earn over a full year, before or after taxes and deductions, from wages, salary, self-employment, bonuses, commissions and other recurring sources.
Multiply your pay by the number of pay periods in a year. For example, multiply hourly wage by hours worked per week and then by weeks worked per year, or multiply monthly salary by 12.
Gross annual income is your total earnings before taxes, insurance premiums, retirement contributions or any other deductions are subtracted.
Net annual income is what remains after taxes and deductions are subtracted from gross income — the amount actually deposited into your bank account.
Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply that result by the number of weeks you work per year.
A full-time employee working 40 hours per week for 52 weeks works 2,080 hours per year, though unpaid time off can lower that figure.
Overtime pay is extra compensation, usually 1.5 times or more of the regular hourly rate, paid for hours worked beyond a standard threshold, often 40 hours per week.
Bi-weekly pay is a payroll schedule where employees are paid once every two weeks, resulting in 26 paychecks per year.
Semi-monthly pay is a payroll schedule where employees are paid twice per month, typically on fixed dates, resulting in 24 paychecks per year.
Yes. Freelancers can enter their average hourly or weekly earnings to estimate annual income, keeping in mind that freelance income can fluctuate more than a fixed salary.
Lenders generally ask for gross annual income, though some forms specifically request net income, so it's important to read the application instructions carefully.
Yes. This calculator supports USD, EUR, GBP, INR, CAD and AUD, applying the correct currency symbol to every result.
