      Formula

      Annual salary = pay amount × pay periods per year (52 weekly, 26 biweekly, 24 semi-monthly, 12 monthly, 4 quarterly)
      Hourly: annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × 52
      Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × 52)
      Hours actually worked = (days per week × 52 − days off) × hours per day
      Pay per hour actually worked = annual salary ÷ hours actually worked

      How to use it

      1. Enter a pay amount and choose the period it covers.
      2. Set your usual hours and days per week; 40 hours over 5 days is standard full time.
      3. Optionally enter your holidays and vacation days. For hourly or daily pay, say whether those days are paid.
      4. Read the conversions, then pick your filing status and state rate for a take-home estimate.

      Unpaid days off change the salary, paid ones change the hourly rate

      A full-time year is 52 weeks × 40 hours = 2,080 paid hours. If you are paid by the hour and take 25 unpaid days off, you are paid for 235 days instead of 260, so $25 an hour comes to $47,000 rather than $52,000.

      If your days off are paid — as they are for most salaried staff — the salary stays the same but you work fewer hours for it. An $85,000 salary is $40.87 per paid hour, but with 25 days off you work 1,880 hours, which is $45.21 for every hour at your desk.

      About the take-home estimate

      The take-home figures use the 2026 federal tax brackets and standard deduction from IRS Revenue Procedure 2025-32, Social Security at 6.2% up to the $184,500 wage base, Medicare at 1.45% plus 0.9% on wages above $200,000 ($250,000 joint), and your state rate as a flat percentage. They assume this salary is your only income and that you take the standard deduction.

      This is an estimate, not tax advice. For credits, retirement contributions and a per-paycheck figure, use the take-home pay calculator; for your real liability, use your tax return or a tax professional.
