Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is the difference between bi-weekly and semi-monthly pay?
Bi-weekly pay means you get paid every two weeks, resulting in 26 paychecks per year. Semi-monthly pay means you get paid twice a month (typically on the 1st and 15th), resulting in 24 paychecks per year. Bi-weekly paychecks are slightly smaller, but you get two extra per year.
Why does my hourly rate change when I adjust weeks per year?
Your hourly rate is calculated by dividing your annual salary by total hours worked per year. If you work fewer weeks (like taking unpaid vacation), your total hours decrease, which means your effective hourly rate increases for the hours you do work.
How accurate is this calculator for tax purposes?
This calculator shows your gross pay (before taxes and deductions). Your actual take-home pay will be lower after federal taxes, state taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and any benefits deductions. For net pay calculations, you may want to consult a tax professional or use our detailed salary calculator.
What does a $50,000 salary equate to hourly?
At 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year (2,080 total hours), a $50,000 annual salary equals $24.04 per hour. Use the presets above to quickly see the breakdown for common salary amounts.
Should I include overtime in my hours per week?
For calculating your base hourly rate, use your regular scheduled hours (typically 40). If you want to see your effective rate including overtime, you can increase the hours per week, but remember that overtime is usually paid at 1.5x your regular rate.
