Understanding Pay Periods and Gross Pay
This calculator shows gross pay—before taxes, benefits, or other deductions. Your actual take-home (net) pay will be lower. Bi-weekly means every two weeks (26 paychecks per year); semi-monthly means twice a month (24 paychecks per year), so the amounts differ slightly.
A standard full-time year is often 2,080 hours (40 hours × 52 weeks). Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ 2,080 when you work 40 hours per week.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert salary to hourly?
Divide your annual salary by the number of hours you work per year. For 40 hours per week that’s 52 × 40 = 2,080 hours. So hourly rate = annual salary ÷ 2,080. This calculator does that for you and lets you change any value to see the rest update.
What’s the difference between bi-weekly and semi-monthly?
Bi-weekly is every two weeks (26 pay periods per year). Semi-monthly is twice a month (24 pay periods per year). So the same annual salary results in slightly different per-paycheck amounts: bi-weekly checks are a bit smaller but you get two extra paychecks per year.
Is the result before or after taxes?
All amounts shown are gross (before taxes and deductions). To estimate take-home pay, use a paycheck or tax calculator that accounts for your filing status, state, and withholdings.
