Frequently Asked Questions
How are the conversions calculated?
We use a standard 52-week year. For example, Annual Salary = Hourly Rate * Hours/Week * 52 Weeks.
Does this include taxes?
No, this tool calculates Gross Salary (before tax). Your actual take-home pay will be lower after federal, state, and local taxes/deductions.
How are monthly wages calculated?
Monthly wages are derived from the annual figure: Annual Salary / 12 months. This is more accurate than multiplying weekly wages by 4, as most months have more than 4 weeks.
