How to Use This Calculator

Enter your annual salary to see its equivalent pay across different frequencies. Use the 'Gross/Net Income' mode to factor in taxes and deductions and see your take-home pay. Use the 'Hourly/Monthly Rate' mode to calculate your wage from a yearly salary and work hours.

Understanding Gross vs. Net Income

Your gross income is your total pay before any taxes or deductions are taken out. Your net income is what you actually take home. This calculator helps you see the relationship between the two and understand the impact of taxes and other withholdings on your earnings.

Example

With an annual salary of $60,000 paid bi-weekly:

  • Gross Annual Salary: $60,000
  • Gross Bi-weekly Pay: $60,000 / 26 = $2,307.69
  • If you have a 20% total tax deduction:
  • Net Annual Salary: $60,000 - ($60,000 × 0.20) = $48,000
  • Net Bi-weekly Pay: $48,000 / 26 = $1,846.15

Tips for Managing Your Salary

  • Understand Your Pay Stub: Your pay stub lists your gross pay, taxes, and deductions, which is key to using this tool accurately.
  • Know Your Tax Bracket: Tax rates are often progressive. Knowing your bracket helps you estimate your effective tax rate.
  • Factor in All Income: Include bonuses, commissions, and overtime pay when calculating your gross annual salary.
  • Budget for Net Pay: Plan your budget based on your take-home (net) pay, not your gross income.
