Frequently Asked Questions
Divide your annual salary by the number of paid hours in a year. For a standard 40-hour week: $65,000 ÷ (52 weeks × 40 hours) = $65,000 ÷ 2,080 = $31.25/hr. Adjust the hours per day and days per week fields above if your schedule differs.
For a standard full-time schedule of 8 hours/day, 5 days/week: 8 × 5 × 52 = 2,080 hours. This calculator uses that figure by default, but you can change both the hours per day and days per week to match your actual schedule.
Bi-weekly means paid every two weeks — 26 pay periods per year. Semi-monthly means paid twice per month — 24 pay periods per year. They're similar but not the same: bi-weekly gives you two "extra" paycheques per year compared to semi-monthly. Bi-weekly is most common in Canada and the US; semi-monthly is common in some US states.
No — all figures are gross pay (before tax and deductions). Tax rates vary significantly by country, state or province, income level, filing status, and other factors. Use the gross figures here as input into a dedicated payroll tax calculator for your jurisdiction.
A useful rule of thumb: take your equivalent full-time annual salary and multiply your hourly rate by 1.5 to 2x to account for: unpaid time (admin, pitching, gaps between projects), no benefits (health, pension, paid holiday), and self-employment taxes. Enter your desired annual equivalent into this calculator to find your baseline hourly, then apply your multiplier.
