What it does
$25/hourat 40 hours a week and 52 weeks a year becomes$52,000/year.$52,000/yearbecomes$25.00/hour,$1,000/week,$4,333.33/month.- Works from any period — hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly or annual — to all the others.
- Adjust hours per week, days per week, and paid weeks per year to match real schedules (part-time, unpaid leave, a 37.5-hour week).
- All figures are gross pay, before tax — this is a rate converter, not a paycheck/net-pay calculator.
How the conversion works
Everything pivots through an annual figure and an explicit work schedule:
- annual = hourly × hours-per-week × weeks-per-year (e.g. 25 × 40 × 52 = 52,000)
- hourly = annual ÷ (hours-per-week × weeks-per-year)
- weekly = annual ÷ weeks-per-year
- biweekly = annual ÷ 26 (annual ÷ (weeks-per-year ÷ 2))
- monthly = annual ÷ 12 — not weekly × 4
- daily = annual ÷ (days-per-week × weeks-per-year)
The defaults (40 hours/week, 5 days/week, 52 weeks/year) give the standard 2,080-hour work year; change any of them for part-time, compressed, or PTO-adjusted schedules.
Inputs
- Pay amount — a plain number; currency symbols and thousands separators are ignored.
- This amount is per — the period your amount is quoted in.
- Hours per week — default 40. Drives the hourly figure.
- Days per week — default 5. Drives the daily figure.
- Paid weeks per year — default 52. Lower it to model unpaid time off (e.g. 50 for two unpaid weeks).
- Currency symbol — cosmetic; shown in the summary text only, it never changes the numbers.

FAQ
$25 an hour is how much a year?
At the standard full-time schedule — 40 hours a week for 52 weeks — $25/hour works out to
25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 a year, which is about $4,333.33 a month and $1,000 a week. Change
the hours-per-week or weeks-per-year fields if your schedule differs.
Why is monthly pay not just weekly pay times four?
Because a year has about 4.33 weeks per month, not 4. Multiplying weekly pay by 4 undercounts by
roughly a month's pay over the year. This converter always computes monthly = annual ÷ 12, so a
$1,000/week salary shows as $4,333.33/month, not $4,000.
How do I account for unpaid time off?
Lower the paid weeks per year. The default 52 assumes every week is paid. If you take two unpaid weeks, set it to 50; the annual and per-period figures drop accordingly while your hourly rate stays the same.
What's the difference between biweekly and semi-monthly?
Biweekly means every two weeks — 26 paychecks a year (annual ÷ 26), which this tool shows. Semi-monthly means twice a month — 24 paychecks a year (annual ÷ 24). They're close but not equal; biweekly paychecks are slightly smaller because there are more of them.
Are these figures before or after tax?
Before tax. Every figure is gross pay — your actual take-home depends on income tax, national insurance / payroll tax, pension or retirement contributions, and other deductions that vary by country and personal situation. Use this to compare rates and offers, not to predict a net paycheck.
