Understanding your compensation is crucial for negotiating salaries or comparing job offers. Here is how it works.
Start with your gross annual salary before any deductions. This forms the baseline for all subsequent calculations.
Adjust your weekly hours and weeks worked per year to reflect your actual schedule, factoring in unpaid time off if applicable.
Input your estimated tax rate and the monetary value of your employer benefits to reveal your true total compensation rate.
Common questions about salary conversion, taxes, and compensation.
We divide your annual salary by the total number of hours you work in a year (weekly hours multiplied by weeks worked).
A standard full-time work year is typically calculated as 2,080 hours (40 hours per week multiplied by 52 weeks).
Benefits like health insurance, 401(k) matches, and bonuses are part of your overall compensation package and significantly increase your true earning value.
Your effective tax rate is a combination of federal, state, and local taxes. You can find this on your recent pay stubs or tax returns. A common rough estimate is 20-25%.
This tool provides a close estimate. Exact take-home pay depends on complex tax brackets, specific state taxes, and pre-tax deductions that vary per individual.
If you receive PTO, you should still calculate using 52 weeks, as you are paid for that time off. If you take unpaid leave, you should reduce the "Weeks / Year" input.
It depends on the role. Salary offers stability and benefits, while hourly can provide overtime pay flexibility. Use this tool to compare offers side-by-side.
You can either add your guaranteed bonus to your "Annual Salary" input or include it as part of your "Annual Benefits Value" to see its effect on your hourly rate.
Salaried employees (exempt) usually do not get overtime pay. If you do, your actual hourly rate drops as you work more hours for the same fixed salary.

Yes! If you want to know what hourly rate to charge to match a desired salary, work backward. Keep in mind freelancers must cover their own self-employment taxes and benefits.
Employer-paid benefits (insurance, retirement contributions, equity) are costly. When added to your base salary, they substantially increase your overall hourly worth.

On average, benefits account for 25-30% of total compensation. For a $100,000 salary, a comprehensive benefits package might be valued between $25,000 and $40,000.
Take your gross bi-weekly paycheck and divide it by the hours worked in those two weeks (usually 80). This should match our calculator's gross hourly rate.
While this tool goes from salary to hourly, you can play with the salary input until the gross hourly output matches your target hourly wage.
