What this tool does

Results are gross amounts before taxes, benefits, and other deductions. Use them for planning comparisons, not as a take-home promise.

Who it is for

    Use the gross yearly amount from the offer or your current role.

    40 hours and 52 weeks is a common full-time assumption in the U.S., not a requirement.

Frequently asked questions

How does the salary calculator calculate hourly pay?

It divides the annual salary by (hours per week × weeks per year) using the values you enter. Change those inputs if your schedule differs from a standard full-time year.

Is this take-home pay?

No. The calculator shows gross amounts before taxes, benefits, retirement contributions, and other deductions.

Why does biweekly differ from twice a month?

Biweekly pay is every two weeks, which is 26 checks in a 52-week year. Twice a month is usually 24 checks. The annual salary can be the same while each check is different.

Does this send my numbers to a server?

No. The salary calculator runs in your browser. It does not use the AI generation quota.
