Pay Period Guide

Understanding Each Pay Period

Employers use different pay period structures — here's what each one means for your paycheck.

Base Unit
Hourly

The amount earned per hour worked. The foundation used to calculate every other pay period below.

Per Shift
Daily

Hourly rate multiplied by hours worked in a typical day, based on your days-per-week setting.

7-Day Cycle
Weekly

Hourly rate multiplied by your full work week — the most common basis for comparing job offers.

26 Paychecks/Year
Bi-Weekly

Paid every two weeks. The most common pay schedule for US hourly and salaried employees alike.

24 Paychecks/Year
Semi-Monthly

Paid twice a month on fixed dates (e.g. the 1st and 15th), rather than every two weeks.

12 Paychecks/Year
Monthly

Paid once a month. Common for salaried roles and some international employers.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about converting salary to hourly pay.

How do you convert salary to hourly rate?

Divide your annual salary by the total number of hours you work in a year. Total hours per year equals hours worked per week multiplied by weeks worked per year, so a $50,000 salary at 40 hours per week for 52 weeks works out to about $24.04 per hour.

Does this calculator account for taxes?

No. This tool calculates your gross hourly rate before taxes and deductions. Use the Paycheck Calculator to estimate your net take-home pay after federal tax, FICA, and other deductions.

How many weeks per year should I use?

Use 52 weeks if your salary is paid consistently through paid time off. If you take unpaid leave, subtract those weeks — for example, use 50 weeks for 2 unpaid weeks off per year.

What if I work part-time or a non-standard schedule?

Enter your actual average hours per week and days per week. The calculator adjusts the hourly, daily, and weekly figures based on the numbers you provide, so it works for part-time and irregular schedules too.

What is the difference between bi-weekly and semi-monthly pay?

Bi-weekly pay happens every two weeks, resulting in 26 paychecks per year. Semi-monthly pay happens twice a month on fixed dates, resulting in 24 paychecks per year. The two are easy to confuse but produce different per-paycheck amounts.

Is this salary to hourly calculator free?

Yes, this tool is completely free with no signup, no limits, and no data sent to any server.
