How to Convert Salary Between Pay Periods
1. Start with your known salary amount and pay period. 2. Convert to annual salary first (multiply hourly by hours/week times weeks/year). 3. Divide the annual salary by the number of pay periods per year. 4. For biweekly, divide annual by 26. For monthly, divide by 12. For weekly, divide by 52.
Salary Conversion Formula
Annual = Hourly x Hours/Week x Weeks/Year
Monthly = Annual / 12
Biweekly = Annual / 26
Weekly = Annual / 52
Daily = Annual / (Weeks/Year x 5)
Hourly = Annual / (Hours/Week x Weeks/Year)
Example
Convert $50,000 annual salary to hourly:
Hourly = Annual / (Hours/Week x Weeks/Year)
Hourly = $50,000 / (40 x 52)
Hourly = $50,000 / 2,080
Hourly = $24.04

Frequently Asked Questions
How many work hours are in a year?
A standard work year has 2,080 hours (40 hours/week x 52 weeks). After accounting for holidays and vacation, the actual number is typically 1,920-2,000 hours.
Why divide by 26 for biweekly pay?
There are 26 biweekly pay periods in a year (52 weeks / 2). Some years have 27 pay periods when the calendar aligns, but 26 is the standard used for salary calculations.
Is biweekly the same as semi-monthly?
No. Biweekly means every two weeks (26 paychecks/year). Semi-monthly means twice per month (24 paychecks/year). Semi-monthly paychecks are slightly larger.
Does this calculator include taxes?
No, this shows gross salary conversions before taxes. Your take-home pay will be lower after federal, state, and local taxes plus deductions like Social Security and Medicare.
How do I calculate overtime pay?
Overtime is typically 1.5x your regular hourly rate for hours over 40 per week. Calculate your hourly rate first, then multiply by 1.5 for overtime hours.
