Basic mode is gross-pay conversion only. Switch to Extended mode for tax/benefit assumptions and contractor-equivalent comparison.
Flow
  • Enter annual salary.
  • Set average weekly hours and working weeks per year.
  • Switch to extended mode when you want deductions, overtime, PTO/unpaid leave, and contractor-equivalent comparison.
  • Review gross hourly first, then compare weekly/monthly cadence and estimated net assumptions.
Example

Worked example: 72000 annual, 40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year

  1. 1 Total annual hours = 40 × 52 = 2080.
  2. 2 Hourly rate = 72000 / 2080 = 34.6154.
  3. 3 Weekly equivalent = 34.6154 × 40 = 1384.62.

Equivalent hourly wage is about 34.62 dollars.

How
  1. Enter annual salary.
  2. Set average weekly hours and working weeks per year.
  3. Switch to extended mode when you want deductions, overtime, PTO/unpaid leave, and contractor-equivalent comparison.
  4. Review gross hourly first, then compare weekly/monthly cadence and estimated net assumptions.
Avoid
  • Using calendar weeks without adjusting for unpaid leave.
  • Comparing net hourly pay against gross annual salary.
  • Treating planning assumptions as payroll-accurate tax calculations.

Ref only. Verify assumptions, fees, taxes.

FAQ
Can this compare two job offers?

Yes. Use consistent hour and week assumptions for both offers.

Why is my hourly lower than expected?

Higher annual working hours reduce equivalent hourly rate.

Does this include bonuses?

Yes in extended mode where annual bonus and schedule assumptions can be applied.

Can it estimate take-home and contractor equivalent?

Yes. Extended mode applies deduction percentages for a planning-grade net estimate and computes a contractor-equivalent hourly rate based on overhead load.
