Salary to Hourly / Paycheck Calculator — Rate, Gross & Take-Home
What is $60,000 a year really worth per hour — and per paycheck? This free calculator converts both ways: salary to hourly by dividing by weekly hours times 52, hourly to salary by multiplying back. Hourly workers past 40 hours a week earn 1.5× overtime on the excess; salaried roles are typically exempt. Pick a pay frequency to see the paycheck gross, and add a flat tax rate for a clearly labelled take-home ESTIMATE.
Compare offers with different hours, check what overtime really adds, and see all four pay periods side by side with your selected frequency highlighted. Every calculation runs locally in your browser with no signup, and any scenario can be shared with a link that reproduces it exactly.
The conversion formulas
A full-time year is weekly hours times 52 weeks (2,080 at 40h). Overtime values only the hours beyond 40 at time-and-a-half. The take-home line multiplies gross by one minus the flat rate — an estimate, never tax advice.
hourly = hourly wage · salary = annual salary · overtime = pay for hours beyond 40/week · take-home = net pay (estimate).
How it works
- Choose the figure you know — annual salary or hourly wage. The other is computed and both persist across toggles.
- Enter weekly hours (1–100). Beyond 40, hourly mode accrues 1.5× overtime; salary mode stays exempt.
- Pick weekly, biweekly, semimonthly or monthly to spotlight that paycheck gross in the period table.
- Read the rate, annual figure, overtime split, every period's gross and the take-home estimate.
Overtime: 1.5× beyond 40h, hourly only
Thirty dollars an hour at 50 hours a week means $62,400 regular pay plus $23,400 overtime premium — $85,800 a year. Salaried roles are typically exempt: the same 50 hours on salary pay no premium in this model.
What the estimate leaves out
No progressive brackets, no state taxes, no FICA, no deductions or benefits — the take-home line is a flat-rate estimate, not advice. Phase 08 (Income Tax calculator) adds real brackets as a follow-up.
Frequently asked questions
How do you convert salary to hourly?
Divide the annual salary by weekly hours times 52. At 40 hours that divisor is the standard 2,080-hour year: $60,000 ÷ 2,080 ≈ $28.85/hour.
How is overtime calculated?
Hours beyond 40 per week pay 1.5× the hourly rate, in hourly mode only. Salaried roles are modelled as exempt with no premium.
Which pay frequency should I pick?
Match your employer's schedule: weekly pays 52 checks, biweekly 26, semimonthly 24, monthly 12. The table shows all four with your choice highlighted.
Is the take-home figure my real pay?
No — it deducts one flat rate you choose. Real paychecks apply progressive federal brackets plus state tax, FICA, and pre-tax deductions. Treat it as a ballpark, not filing guidance.
How accurate is this calculator?
The conversion and overtime arithmetic is exact to the cent against the stated formulas. Take-home accuracy depends entirely on the flat rate you enter versus your real withholding.
