Salary calculator
Enter pay in any common period; we convert to all others. Take-home uses a rough US federal income tax for a single filer (standard deduction + progressive brackets)—not payroll taxes or state tax.
Your pay
Equivalent pay
Hourly equivalents use 40 hours/week × 52 weeks (40 when not hourly). Daily = annual ÷ 365.

How it works
We normalize everything to an annual salary, then divide by 52 (weeks), 26 (biweeks), 12 (months), 365 (calendar days), or (hours/week × 52) for hourly. Federal tax applies progressive rates to taxable income after a fixed standard deduction—an educational shortcut, not tax advice.
FAQ
Why doesn’t take-home match my paycheck?
Real checks include Social Security and Medicare (FICA), state and local tax, pre-tax benefits, retirement deferrals, and withholding allowances. We only model a simplified federal income tax.
How is “daily” defined?
We spread annual pay evenly across 365 calendar days. Some employers quote 260 working days instead—that would increase the daily figure.
What if I’m married or head of household?
Brackets and standard deductions differ by filing status. This tool assumes single filer for the rough tax estimate.
Biweekly vs semi-monthly?
Biweekly is 26 pay periods per year. Semi-monthly (twice per month) is 24 periods; monthly equivalents differ slightly—choose the input that matches your pay stub.
