Free pay and bill frequency converter

How the conversion works
Everything is turned into a yearly amount first and then divided into the other periods. A year has 52 weeks, 26 bi-weekly periods, 24 twice-a-month periods, 12 months, 4 quarters and 2 half-years. So $100 a week is $5,200 a year, or about $433.33 a month, not $400.
For an hourly wage the yearly amount is hourly rate × hours per week × weeks worked. Use fewer than 52 weeks if you take unpaid time off.
Bi-weekly is not twice a month
Paid every two weeks, you receive 26 payments a year; paid twice a month, you receive 24. In a bi-weekly year, two months have three paycheques. Many people use those months to catch up on savings or debt. When you budget, convert pay and bills to the same period, usually monthly, as the budget calculator does.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by the hours you work in a week and by the weeks you work in a year. At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks that is the hourly rate × 2,080.
How do I convert bi-weekly pay to monthly?
Multiply the bi-weekly amount by 26 and divide by 12. The result is a little more than twice the bi-weekly amount, because there are 26 pay periods in a year, not 24.
Is this before or after tax?
The calculator converts whatever amount you enter. Enter your after-tax pay if you want to plan your spending.
