Compare gross pay on a common annual basis
Use this conversion when an offer or wage is quoted hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly, or yearly. Enter the gross amount for that frequency, hours and days per week, and annual holiday and vacation days. Results are gross equivalents before tax, deductions, overtime, bonuses, or benefits.
Conversion rules
This tool uses product-defined annualization. A year has 52 weeks; unadjusted annual hours are hours per week × 52. The selected frequency is first translated to an hourly and yearly amount, then shown across all supported frequencies. Semi-monthly means 24 periods, monthly 12, quarterly 4, and biweekly 26.
The time-off view sets workdays to days per week × 52 - holidays - vacation days and adjusted hours to workdays times hours per day. It holds yearly gross pay fixed, so fewer entered workdays raise the displayed adjusted hourly equivalent; it does not subtract unpaid time from salary.
At $25 per hour, 40 hours and 5 days per week, with zero holidays and vacation days, yearly pay is $52,000, daily pay is $200, weekly pay is $1,000, semi-monthly pay is $2,166.67, and monthly pay is $4,333.33. For a $60,000 yearly amount with 10 holidays and 10 vacation days, the model has 240 workdays and 1,920 adjusted hours, so adjusted hourly pay is $31.25 while yearly pay remains $60,000. Compare both rows when evaluating paid-time-off assumptions.
Amount cannot be negative; weekly hours must be 1–168 and days 1–7. Time-off days cannot be negative, and a combination leaving no adjusted work time is invalid. Blanks, invalid numbers, and unknown frequencies are rejected.
This is not a payroll calculation or employment advice. Confirm paid hours and frequency in the governing offer or pay statement. For exactly 24 gross checks, continue to the semi-monthly pay calculator.
