How to Read This Chart
- Worked example at $25/hour: weekly $1,000.00, biweekly $2,000.00, semi-monthly $2,166.67, monthly $4,333.33, annual $52,000.00 — all using the standard 40-hour, 52-week assumptions.
- Monthly figures use annual gross divided by 12, not weekly pay multiplied by 4, since 52 weeks / 12 months averages to about 4.33 weeks per month.
- Biweekly figures divide annual gross by 26; semi-monthly figures divide annual gross by 24 — see the Biweekly vs Semi-Monthly comparison for the difference between the two schedules.

FAQ
How do I use this hourly-to-salary conversion chart?
Find your hourly rate in the leftmost column, then read across to see the equivalent weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, monthly, and annual gross pay under standard assumptions.
What assumptions does this chart use?
40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year. For a different schedule or hourly rate not shown here, use the detailed calculators linked on this page.
Why is monthly pay based on 52 weeks divided by 12 instead of exactly 4 weeks?
A year has 52 weeks and 12 months, so the accurate average is 52 / 12 ≈ 4.33 weeks per month — multiplying weekly pay by 4 alone would understate the true monthly figure.
What's the difference between biweekly and semi-monthly pay?
Biweekly means paid every 2 weeks (26 pay periods per year); semi-monthly means paid twice per month (24 pay periods per year). See the Hourly to Biweekly and Hourly to Semi-Monthly Salary Calculators for a full comparison.
What formula does this calculator use?
Standard assumptions: 40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year. Annual = hourly x 40 x 52; weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, and monthly figures are derived from that annual total.
Are these results gross or net values?
Primary conversion outputs are gross unless the mode explicitly includes tax or deduction assumptions for estimated net values.
