Whether you’re budgeting, negotiating pay, or planning finances, this tool simplifies complex salary conversions.
The calculator converts pay based on standard work schedules (8 hours/day, 260 weekdays/year). It adjusts for holidays (e.g., 10 federal holidays) and vacation days (e.g., 15 PTO days).
Unadjusted Annual Salary:
Formula: Hourly Rate × Hours/Day × 260
Example: $30 × 8 × 260 = $62,400
Adjusted Annual Salary:
Formula: Hourly Rate × Hours/Day × (260 - Holidays - PTO)
Example: $30 × 8 × (260 - 10 - 15) = $56,400
Other Frequencies:
Bi-weekly (26 pays/year), semi-monthly (24 pays/year), or monthly (12 pays/year) are derived from annual figures.
Input your pay rate and frequency, and get instant conversions across all periods.

This calculator doesn’t account for taxes, deductions, or variable work schedules. For net pay, pair it with a tax calculator. Assumes 260 weekdays/year, which may vary by employer.
