How this calculator works
Your yearly pay is your hourly rate times the hours you work in a week, times the number of weeks you're paid.
Annual pay = hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks per year
Overtime hours, if you add them, are paid at the multiplier you choose and added to each week. Monthly pay is annual pay divided by 12, so it's an average: some months have more paydays than others. Biweekly pay is annual pay divided by 26 paychecks, and semimonthly is divided by 24.
Example
At $25 an hour, 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year:
| Pay period | Gross pay |
|---|---|
| Weekly | $1,000 |
| Biweekly | $2,000 |
| Monthly (average) | about $4,333 |
| Annual | $52,000 |
A quick shortcut: at 40 hours a week, double your hourly rate and add three zeros. $25 × 2 = 50, so roughly $50,000 (the exact figure is $52,000).
