Salary / Hourly Pay Converter

Compare a gross rate across frequencies

1. Choose Hourly, Weekly, Every 2 weeks, Twice monthly, Monthly or Annually. Enter a nonnegative amount with up to four decimal places. Each frequency retains its own independent amount draft when you switch; changing the selection never converts another draft.
2. Select the denomination and enter 0.01 to 168 hours per model week, with up to two decimal places. A dot or comma is decimal, never grouping: 1,000 means one. Currency changes reinterpret the numbers without exchanging currencies. Use annual example fills USD 52000 annually and 40 hours, then waits for Convert.
3. Read the primary equivalent and the other five frequencies with their gross, schedule and rounding notes. Open the method to follow your original rate through exact annualization. Copy result summary uses the current inputs and qualified outputs; clipboard denial offers identical selected text. Clear empties the six amount drafts and restores Annually, USD and 40 hours.

Understand the model and the displayed amounts

The comparison year has 52 model weeks, so a weekly amount is multiplied by 52 and an every-two-weeks amount by 26. Twice monthly uses 24 periods, monthly uses 12 and annually uses one. Hourly annualization uses your hours per week times 52; the initial 40-hour assumption gives 2080 model hours.

Every 2 weeks and Twice monthly are not interchangeable. At USD 2000 per period, the first gives USD 52000 per model year and the second gives USD 48000. Real pay calendars can have extra paydays, and twice-monthly dates need not be fourteen days apart. This tool does not calculate a payroll calendar.

Each equivalent is derived independently from the exact entered amount and annual multiplier, then rounded half-up to the denomination's minor digits. JPY and KRW show zero fractional digits; KWD and BHD show three; the other supported denominations show two. A quote may keep four input decimals even when its displayed source-frequency row has fewer.

Hours are a normalization assumption rather than proof of actual hours worked. Different employers and legal systems use different pay rules or annual divisors. Taxes, deductions, overtime premiums, bonuses, benefits and paid or unpaid leave are not modeled. Changing a currency code changes the denomination, not purchasing power or an exchange rate.

Examples of frequency, precision and small values

USD 52000 annually at 40 hours per model week gives USD 25.00 per hour, USD 1000.00 weekly, USD 2000.00 every two weeks, USD 2166.67 twice monthly and USD 4333.33 monthly. Monthly is not simply four weekly amounts in this model.

USD 20.1234 hourly at 37.5 hours per week uses 1950 model annual hours and gives USD 39240.63 annually. The displayed hourly equivalent is USD 20.12, but using that rounded number would incorrectly give USD 39234.00. The original quoted rate is retained for every calculation.

USD 0.06 annually gives an exact monthly equivalent of USD 0.005, displayed as USD 0.01 by half-up rounding. Its hourly equivalent displays USD 0.00 with a positive-below-unit note. An entered zero is different: it gives true zero equivalents without that note.

Gross comparison, not a payroll or legal calculation

The fixed 52-week convention does not predict actual pay dates or guarantee 26 payments in every calendar year. The hourly equivalent is not a statutory regular rate or an overtime/minimum-wage determination. No jurisdiction, tax status or employment classification is inferred from language or currency.

Amounts accept zero through 1000000000 with up to four decimal places; hours accept 0.01 through 168 with up to two. Raw drafts longer than 64 UTF-16 code units are rejected before ASCII edge trimming. Signs, grouping, exponents, missing digits around a decimal mark and extra precision are rejected, not rounded into range.

Only the six listed frequencies and 22 fixed denominations are supported. There is no daily, quarterly, custom-period, holiday, vacation or unpaid-weeks mode, take-home estimate, currency exchange, saved history or file export. Outputs may exceed the input cap and are not clamped to it.

Conversion runs in the browser without uploading earnings or hours, saving drafts or putting values in the page URL. Earnings data can be sensitive. Copy runs only on your action, after which other applications and clipboard services may handle the copied summary.
