    Frequently asked questions

    How do I convert annual salary to hourly pay?

    Divide annual salary by hours per week multiplied by paid weeks per year. At 40 hours and 52 paid weeks, the divisor is 2,080. A $60,000 salary is about $28.85 per hour before tax.

    How do I convert hourly pay to annual salary?

    Multiply the hourly rate by hours per week and paid weeks per year. For example, $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 before tax. This assumes a constant rate and does not add overtime.

    Is biweekly pay the same as semimonthly pay?

    No. Biweekly pay covers two paid weeks; semimonthly pay is annual salary divided by 24. With 52 paid weeks, there are 26 two-week pay periods. Custom paid weeks change the weekly and biweekly equivalents.

    Does the after-tax estimate include benefits or 2027 taxes?

    The after-tax view uses 2026 taxes for one wage earner under 65, a standard deduction and no dependents. It includes modeled payroll premiums but no voluntary retirement, health-insurance or other benefit deductions. Local taxes and refundable credits can change actual cash pay. There is no 2027 after-tax mode because 2027 state tables are not available here.
