Hourly to Salary Calculator

Weekly Pay and Daily Pay are both calculated purely from Hourly Rate and Hours per Week -- a snapshot of what a single week or day is worth, which has nothing to do with how many weeks you work across the full year. Weeks per Year only matters once you're annualizing that figure into Annual or Monthly Pay, which are totals across many pay periods rather than a single one.

Daily Pay assumes a standard 5-day work week and divides your weekly total (Hourly Rate x Hours per Week) by 5. That assumption works fine for a typical Monday-through-Friday schedule, but it will understate or overstate your real per-day earnings if you actually work a compressed 4-day week or a 6-day week at the same total weekly hours, since the same weekly pay is then spread across a different number of working days.

It's a rough approximation only, using a flat 22% effective tax rate applied to gross pay regardless of your actual circumstances. Real effective tax rates vary with filing status, state and local taxes, pre-tax deductions like a 401(k) or health insurance premiums, and how your income is distributed across the progressive federal tax brackets -- someone earning well below the 22% bracket threshold will see a noticeably higher after-tax percentage than this estimate shows, and vice versa for higher earners.

No -- every figure here is a straight-line multiplication of Hourly Rate by Hours per Week, with no overtime premium applied even if Hours per Week is set above 40. Many hourly workers are legally entitled to time-and-a-half (or more) for hours worked beyond 40 in a week under the Fair Labor Standards Act, so an hourly worker who regularly works overtime will earn more than this calculator's straight-line projection suggests.
