How this Salary Calculator Works
The salary calculator lets you convert between different pay periods (hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, and annual) and see both unadjusted and adjusted (for holidays/vacation) values. Adjustment subtracts your specified holidays and vacation days from the standard working year, providing you with an accurate “take-home” equivalent for typical working years.
Unadjusted values assume there are 260 working days (or 2,080 hours) per year. Adjusted values reduce this number by your inputted holidays and vacation days per year.
Typical pay periods:
- Weekly: 52 pay periods/year
- Bi-Weekly: 26 pay periods/year
- Semi-Monthly: 24 pay periods/year
- Monthly: 12 pay periods/year
Salary & Wage Insights
What’s the difference between wage and salary?
A wage is typically paid per hour worked, and a salary is paid on a regular (often annual) basis. Wages may vary with hours and overtime, but salaries are usually fixed.
How are salaries adjusted for holidays and vacations?
Adjusted salary figures subtract the number of holidays and vacation days you enter from the total working days in a year, resulting in a lower effective pay when you aren’t at work.
What are common employee benefits?
Some jobs offer paid holidays, paid time off, health insurance, and retirement benefits. These are not reflected in the calculator—it’s for take-home, base pay estimates only.
