What Is Salary Calculator?
A salary calculator converts compensation between different pay periods: hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, and annual. When comparing job offers, freelance rates, or budgeting, it's essential to normalize pay to the same period. An hourly rate of $35 sounds different from an annual salary of $72,800, but they're equivalent (at 40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year). This calculator lets you customize hours per week, working days per week, and working weeks per year to account for part-time schedules, different work cultures, or vacation time. The tool instantly shows all six equivalent rates, making it easy to compare offers, negotiate rates, or plan your budget based on any pay frequency.

Technical Guide
All conversions go through an annual intermediate. Given pay amount A and period P: Annual = A × multiplier(P), where multipliers are: hourly → hours/week × weeks/year, daily → days/week × weeks/year, weekly → weeks/year, bi-weekly → weeks/year/2, monthly → 12, annual → 1. From annual, divide by the inverse multiplier for each target period. Default assumptions: 40 hours/week, 5 days/week, 52 weeks/year. For US workers, actual paid weeks may be 50 (2 weeks vacation) or 48 (4 weeks), which significantly affects the hourly equivalent of an annual salary. Part-time workers should adjust hours/week for accurate conversions.
Tips & Best Practices
