What is the Salary Calculator?
A salary calculator converts an annual salary into net pay and shows the equivalent monthly, biweekly, weekly, and hourly take-home amounts.
How the calculation works
It estimates federal tax and FICA on your salary, then divides the net across common pay frequencies. Hourly uses a 2,080-hour work year.
Example
A single filer with a $60,000 salary nets roughly $49,000/year — about $4,080/month, $1,880 biweekly, or $23.50/hour after federal taxes.
Tips
- Compare offers on net pay, not just gross salary.
- Benefits and pre-tax deductions change your real take-home.
- Remember state taxes will further reduce net in most states.
Limitations
Federal estimate only for 2025; excludes state taxes, benefits, and overtime.
Frequently asked questions
Gross vs net salary?
Gross is before deductions; net (take-home) is what lands in your account after taxes and deductions.
Is salary before or after tax?
Quoted salaries are gross (pre-tax). This tool estimates the net.
How is the hourly figure derived?
Net annual pay divided by 2,080 hours (40 hours × 52 weeks).
Does this include state tax?
No — it is a federal-only estimate; most states add income tax.
Why do biweekly and semimonthly differ?
They split the same annual net into 26 vs 24 paychecks.
