Annual Income Calculator

Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then by the number of weeks you work per year: annual income = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year. At the standard full-time convention of 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, that is hourly rate × 2,080. For example, $25/hour × 2,080 = $52,000 a year.

Bi-weekly means you're paid every two weeks, which is 26 pay periods a year (52 weeks ÷ 2). Semi-monthly means you're paid twice a month — on fixed dates like the 15th and the last day — which is 24 pay periods a year (12 months × 2). They look similar but are not the same: at $52,000 a year, bi-weekly pay is $2,000 per paycheck while semi-monthly pay is $2,166.67 per paycheck.

In this calculator, yes — the annual income figure is your gross (pre-tax) pay: what you earn before federal, state, and local taxes, Social Security, Medicare, insurance premiums, or retirement contributions are subtracted. Your actual take-home pay will be lower; use a dedicated paycheck or take-home-pay calculator to estimate deductions.

The standard payroll convention uses 52 weeks per year (365 ÷ 7 ≈ 52.14, rounded down). Some employers instead use 50 weeks to account for two weeks of unpaid vacation when converting an hourly wage to an annual figure. This calculator defaults to 52 weeks but lets you change it to 50 (or any value) to match your situation.

2,080 hours (40 hours/week × 52 weeks) is the general commercial and payroll-industry standard for a full-time work year. The U.S. federal government (via the Office of Personnel Management) instead uses 2,087 hours, which averages the actual number of work hours across a 28-year leap-year cycle for its own pay tables. The two differ by about 0.34%; this calculator uses the 2,080-hour convention by default.

Multiply your monthly pay by 12: annual income = monthly pay × 12. For example, a $5,000-a-month salary is $5,000 × 12 = $60,000 a year. Set the pay period to 'Monthly' and enter your monthly amount to see this along with every other period equivalent.

Enter your actual hours (or days) worked per week instead of the full-time default. For example, $20/hour at 20 hours a week for 52 weeks a year is 20 × 20 × 52 = $20,800 a year — half of the full-time 40-hour figure at the same rate.

Not automatically. This calculator assumes a constant pay amount for every period and does not add an overtime premium, bonus, or commission on top. If you regularly earn extra pay, fold a realistic average into the amount you enter, or calculate the base and variable portions separately.

Multiply the quarterly amount by 4 (there are 4 quarters in a year): annual income = quarterly pay × 4. A $13,000 quarterly payment is $13,000 × 4 = $52,000 a year.

Set the pay period to "Hourly" and enter the rate — this calculator immediately shows the annual total plus the daily, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly and quarterly equivalents side by side, in one view. That is the difference from a single hourly-to-annual conversion: you see all eight figures together instead of just one. For a dedicated hourly-to-salary conversion (including converting a salary back to an hourly rate), use the hourly to salary calculator instead.

Lower the 'weeks per year' input. The default of 52 assumes every week is paid. If you take two weeks of unpaid leave, set weeks per year to 50 — at $20/hour and 40 hours/week, that drops your annual income from $41,600 (52 weeks) to $40,000 (50 weeks). Paid time off does not reduce it; only unpaid weeks do.

Yes. The underlying math — amount × periods per year — is pure arithmetic and works identically in any currency. Use the currency selector to change how figures are formatted; the formula itself never changes.

Divide the target salary by your hours per year: hourly rate = annual target ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). At the standard full-time convention of 40 hours a week for 52 weeks (2,080 hours), $100,000 ÷ 2,080 = $48.08 an hour. Work fewer weeks a year — say 50, to allow two unpaid weeks off — and the required rate rises slightly to $100,000 ÷ 2,000 = $50 an hour. Enter your own hours to see the exact rate for your schedule.

An unadjusted salary multiplies a pay rate straight across 52 weeks, assuming every week is worked and paid. An adjusted salary instead reduces the week count to reflect unpaid time — such as unpaid holidays or vacation days the pay rate doesn't cover. This calculator handles both: leave weeks per year at 52 for the unadjusted figure, or lower it (e.g. to 50 for two unpaid weeks) to see the adjusted annual income.
