A rough estimate using a single effective tax rate. Real paychecks vary with local taxes, deductions and benefits — treat this as a ballpark.

Gross is the offer. Take-home is the reality.

The number in a job offer is gross pay — before tax and deductions. What you can actually spend and save is take-home, and the gap between the two surprises people constantly. Seeing your salary as a real monthly take-home figure is the first step to budgeting around what you actually receive rather than the headline number.

Converting to an hourly rate is just as useful in reverse: it turns your salary into the price of an hour of your life, which reframes both how you value your time and what a purchase really costs.

Frequently asked

How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per week, then by 52 weeks. At $25 an hour and 40 hours a week, that is 25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 a year. The calculator does this both ways — enter either figure and it shows the other.

How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?

Divide your annual salary by the number of hours you work in a year (weeks worked times hours per week). A $65,000 salary at 40 hours a week over 52 weeks is 65,000 ÷ 2,080 ≈ $31.25 per hour.

What is the difference between gross and take-home pay?

Gross pay is your salary before anything is deducted. Take-home (net) pay is what actually reaches your account after tax and other withholdings. This calculator estimates take-home using a single effective tax rate you set — a ballpark, since real deductions vary by location and situation.

How much is my paycheck per month?

Your monthly take-home is your annual net pay divided by twelve. The calculator breaks take-home down per year, per month, every two weeks, and per week, so you can match it to however you are actually paid.
