About the Salary Calculator
This calculator converts a salary amount across common pay frequencies, including hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, and annual pay. It also compares unadjusted values with values adjusted for holidays and vacation days.
Pay frequency conversion
See the same compensation expressed as hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, and annual pay.
Adjusted pay
Adjusted results subtract paid time away from work to show the equivalent working-day value.
Wage vs. salary
Hourly wage earners are often paid for hours worked, while salaried workers are commonly quoted as an annual amount.
How to use this calculator
Enter the salary amount and frequency. Then enter the expected hours per week, days per week, holidays per year, and vacation days per year. Review the conversion table and charts to compare adjusted and unadjusted compensation.
Benefits and real compensation
Salary is only one part of compensation. Health insurance, retirement matches, bonuses, payroll taxes, paid time off, overtime eligibility, and contractor benefits can materially change the true value of a job offer.

Salary Calculator FAQ
Common questions about inputs, assumptions, outputs, schedules, and limitations.
What does the Salary Calculator convert?
It converts one pay amount into hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, and annual equivalents.
What is the difference between adjusted and unadjusted salary?
Unadjusted salary assumes a full work year. Adjusted salary subtracts holidays and vacation days from the work-year assumption.
Can hourly workers use this calculator?
Yes. Enter the hourly wage, hours per week, and days per week to estimate annual and other pay-frequency equivalents.
Does this include benefits or taxes?
No. It converts gross pay only and does not include taxes, insurance, retirement contributions, bonuses, or other benefits.
Why are bi-weekly and semi-monthly different?
Bi-weekly pay usually occurs every two weeks, or 26 times per year. Semi-monthly pay occurs twice per month, or 24 times per year.
