Advanced options
- Schedule basis: 40 hours/week for 52 paid weeks = 2,080 paid hours/year.
- Overtime is not included unless extended mode is enabled with overtime hours.
- PTO and unpaid leave adjustments are optional in extended mode.
- Using 52 paid weeks assumes no unpaid time off. Lower the weeks value if you want vacation or seasonal gaps reflected.
- Gross estimate only: taxes, deductions, benefits, bonuses, and overtime premiums are excluded.
Gross pay cadence
Gross equivalents only. Taxes, deductions, bonuses, commissions, and overtime premiums are not included.
| Cadence | Gross pay | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Hourly | $28.50 | Entered hourly rate |
| Weekly | $1,140.00 | 40 paid hours/week |
| Biweekly | $2,280.00 | 80 paid hours / 2 weeks |
| Semimonthly | $2,470.00 | Annual pay / 24 paychecks |
| Monthly | $4,940.00 | Annual pay / 12 |
| Annual | $59,280.00 | 2,080 paid hours/year |
Pay assumptions
Use the same hours and paid-weeks basis across offers for fair comparison.
- Basic mode is a gross-pay estimate before taxes, deductions, bonuses, commissions, or employer benefits. Overtime premiums are not modeled here.
- Extended mode can estimate overtime, PTO/unpaid leave adjustments, and take-home pay using tax + deduction percentages.
- Monthly pay is annual pay divided by 12 (an even monthly average).
- Use local payroll rules for final planning; this is for comparison and budgeting.
Flow
- Enter the hourly wage in dollars per hour, or start from a built-in workload scenario.
- Set average hours per week and paid weeks per year to match the actual schedule you want to compare.
- Use Planning mode = Extended when you need overtime multipliers, PTO/unpaid leave assumptions, and estimated tax/benefit deductions.
- Review annual pay first, then scan weekly, biweekly, monthly, and semimonthly equivalents plus the cadence table.
Example
Worked example: 28.5 per hour, 40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year
- 1 Weekly pay = 28.5 × 40 = 1140.
- 2 Annual pay = 1140 × 52 = 59280.
- 3 Monthly equivalent = 59280 / 12 = 4940.
- 4 Semimonthly equivalent = 59280 / 24 = 2470.
Estimated annual income is 59280 dollars.
How
- Enter the hourly wage in dollars per hour, or start from a built-in workload scenario.
- Set average hours per week and paid weeks per year to match the actual schedule you want to compare.
- Use Planning mode = Extended when you need overtime multipliers, PTO/unpaid leave assumptions, and estimated tax/benefit deductions.
- Review annual pay first, then scan weekly, biweekly, monthly, and semimonthly equivalents plus the cadence table.
Avoid
- Using unrealistic weeks per year when unpaid leave is expected.
- Interpreting gross estimate as net take-home pay.
- Forgetting that extended-mode net values are planning estimates, not payroll-accurate tax calculations.
Ref only. Verify assumptions, fees, taxes.
FAQ
Does this include overtime?
Basic mode does not. Extended mode can add weekly overtime hours with a configurable multiplier (for example 1.5x).
Is this gross or net salary?
Basic mode is gross only. Extended mode can estimate net pay by applying tax and deduction percentages, but this is still planning-grade.
Can I change working weeks?
Yes. Adjust weeks per year for vacation, unpaid leave, or seasonal schedules.
Why is monthly pay an average?
This route divides annual pay by 12 for a clean monthly equivalent. Actual payroll dates may vary by employer and pay schedule.
