Annual Income Calculator
Convert hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, or monthly pay into annual income, plus a rough 2026 federal tax estimate.
FINANCEConvert any pay rate to annual gross income and see what that salary looks like at every common pay frequency - hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, and monthly. Includes a rough 2026 federal income tax estimate based on filing status and the standard deduction.
Annual income is calculated by multiplying the base pay rate by its frequency multiplier. Hourly pay multiplies by hours per week and weeks per year (the US standard is 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours/year). Daily pay assumes a 5-day work week. Biweekly pay is multiplied by 26 paychecks (every 2 weeks), while semi-monthly is multiplied by 24 paychecks (twice a month - these are NOT the same). Worked example: $30/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $62,400 annual; equivalent to $1,200/week, $2,400 biweekly, $5,200/month; 2026 single filer effective ~14% federal.

How Annual Income Conversion Works
The standard US full-time work year is 2,080 hours: 40 hours per week × 52 weeks. At $30/hour, that is $62,400 gross annual income. But if you take 2 weeks of unpaid PTO, you only actually work 2,000 hours, and your realized hourly rate against a $60,000 salary is $30 even though the "advertised" hourly was different. Salaried employees with paid PTO still get the full annual figure - the math only shifts for hourly workers without paid time off.
Biweekly and semi-monthly are not the same thing. Biweekly means every 2 weeks, which gives you 26 paychecks per year (52 weeks ÷ 2). Semi-monthly means twice per month, on fixed dates like the 1st and 15th, which gives you 24 paychecks per year (12 months × 2). A $60,000 salary paid biweekly is $2,307.69 per check; paid semi-monthly it is $2,500 per check. Two extra "bonus" paychecks per year is a real cash-flow difference even though the annual total is identical.
Gross is not what hits your bank account. From gross, US W-2 employees lose FICA (7.65% = 6.2% Social Security up to the wage base + 1.45% Medicare), federal income tax (10-37% on a progressive bracket), state income tax (0-13% depending on state), and any pre-tax deductions (401(k), HSA, health insurance premiums). Net take-home is typically 65-78% of gross. A $75,000 single earner in a no-income-tax state with a 5% 401(k) contribution lands around $57,000 net; in California with the same setup, closer to $52,000.
Federal tax shown is a rough estimate using 2026 brackets and the standard deduction only. It does not include FICA (7.65%), state income tax, local tax, 401(k) or HSA contributions, credits, AMT, or itemized deductions. Use a full tax calculator or consult a CPA for actual figures.
