How to use this tool
- Enter hourly rate, hours per paid week, paid weeks per year.
- Select Calculate to view the result.
- Check the method and assumptions below before using the result.
The method, explained
Annual gross pay = hourly rate × hours per paid week × paid weeks per year. Monthly average = annual gross pay ÷ 12.
At 25 per hour for 40 hours each week and 52 paid weeks, annual gross pay is 52,000. The monthly average is 4,333.33.
What to keep in mind
This is gross pay before tax, deductions and benefits. It assumes one hourly rate and excludes overtime premiums. Monthly averages are not a payroll schedule.
Common questions
Should unpaid vacation be included?
No. Reduce paid weeks to reflect unpaid time. If vacation is paid at your normal rate, keep those weeks in the total.
Is this take-home pay?
No. Take-home pay depends on your location, deductions and personal circumstances, which are not modeled here.
