Annual pay = weekly pay × paid weeks per year
Monthly pay is annual pay ÷ 12 and bi-weekly pay is annual pay ÷ 26.

Comparing an hourly job with a salaried one
- Count unpaid time. If holidays and vacation are unpaid, lower the paid weeks to see your real annual pay.
- Include overtime rules. Hourly workers are usually paid for extra hours; many salaried employees are exempt.
- Add the value of benefits. Health insurance, retirement matching and paid leave can be worth thousands of dollars a year.
To see what reaches your bank account, enter the annual figure in the paycheck calculator.
