Paychecks every two weeks, twice a month and monthly divide the yearly pay by 26, 24 and 12. For pay after federal and state taxes, use the take-home pay calculator.
This is an estimate to help you plan, not payroll or legal advice. Your employer's payroll may round time, count breaks or apply state overtime rules differently.
How this is calculated
Every amount goes through the yearly pay. An hourly wage times hours a week times paid weeks a year gives the year. A weekly amount is multiplied by the paid weeks. Paychecks have a fixed count: every two weeks is 26 a year, twice a month is 24, monthly is 12. From the yearly amount the calculator divides back down to every other period.
Example: $65,000 a year at 40 hours a week and 52 paid weeks is 2,080 hours. That makes $31.25 an hour, $250.00 a day, $1,250.00 a week, $2,500.00 every two weeks, $2,708.33 twice a month and $5,416.67 a month.
Paid weeks. If holidays and vacation are paid, keep 52. With two unpaid weeks, enter 50: an hourly wage then adds up to less in a year, and a salary works out to more per hour you actually work ($65,000 over 50 weeks is $32.50 an hour).
Every two weeks or twice a month? Biweekly pay comes on the same weekday every other week, 26 times a year, so each check is smaller than a twice-a-month check (24 a year). A year has 52 weeks and one or two days, so in some years a biweekly schedule has 27 paydays; the calculator uses 26.
All amounts are gross pay, before taxes, retirement contributions and other deductions. Overtime is not included.
