Convert between salary types and estimate take-home pay.
Enter your salary amount and select whether it is hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly, or annual. Adjust the hours per week if you work more or fewer than 40 hours. The calculator converts your pay into every period type so you can compare compensation across different job offers. It also estimates your federal income tax using simplified 2024 brackets for a single filer.
Comparing job offers that quote different pay periods can be confusing. An hourly rate of 30 dollars with overtime opportunities might beat a 60,000 dollar salary when you factor in actual hours worked. This calculator assumes 52 weeks per year and uses your specified hours per week to make all conversions accurate. Biweekly means every two weeks, resulting in 26 pay periods per year rather than 24.
The federal tax estimate uses a simplified version of progressive tax brackets. It does not account for deductions, credits, state taxes, Social Security, or Medicare. Your actual take-home pay will differ based on your filing status, deductions, and state of residence. Use this as a rough guide for comparison purposes.
