Underlying formulas

Let H = hours/day, D = days/week, W = weekly rate.

$$\text{Hourly}\;(\$)=\frac{\text{Weekly}}{H \times D}$$ $$\text{Daily}= rac{\text{Weekly}}{D}$$ $$\text{Weekly}= \begin{cases} \text{Hourly}\times H\times D\\ \text{Daily}\times D \end{cases}$$ $$\text{Bi-Weekly}= \text{Weekly}\times2$$ $$\text{Monthly}= \text{Weekly}\times4.333333$$ $$\text{Quarterly}= \text{Weekly}\times13$$ $$\text{Yearly}= \text{Weekly}\times52$$

Worked example A (yearly to others)

  • Input – $58,000 yearly, H = 7.5, D = 5.
  • Hourly: $$ rac{58{,}000}{7.5\times5\times52}=29.74$$
  • Daily: $$ rac{58{,}000}{52\times5}=223.08$$
  • Weekly: $$ rac{58{,}000}{52}=1,115.38$$
  • Monthly: $$1,115.38\times4.333333=4,833.33$$

Worked example B (hourly to others)

  • Input – $32.50 hourly, H = 6, D = 4.
  • Weekly: $$32.5\times6\times4=780$$
  • Yearly: $$780\times52=40,560$$
  • Monthly: $$780\times4.333333=3,380$$

FAQ

What does the calculator do?

It converts one pay frequency into six others using fixed time factors and your schedule.

Why multiply weekly pay by 4.333333 for a month?

Because 52 weeks divided by 12 months equals 4.333333, the IRS rounding standard (IRS, 2024).

Can I model a four-day workweek?

Yes—set Days Worked Per Week to 4; all outputs adjust automatically.

Does it include overtime?

No. Add overtime wages to your input, then recalculate for total compensation.
