Pay Period Conversion Formulas

Annual = Hourly × Hours/Week × Weeks/Year
Monthly = Annual ÷ 12
Semi-monthly = Annual ÷ 24
Bi-weekly = Annual ÷ 26
Weekly = Annual ÷ 52
Daily = Hourly × Hours/Day
Hourly = Annual ÷ (Hours/Week × Weeks/Year)

Salary Negotiation Tips

  • 1. Always research market rates before negotiating — use this calculator to understand the hourly equivalent of any salary offer.
  • 2. Negotiate total compensation — salary, bonus, equity, PTO, health benefits, and remote flexibility all have dollar values.
  • 3. Let the employer make the first offer when possible — they often come in higher than what you would have asked for.
  • 4. Counter in a range where your floor is the number you actually want — most employers meet in the middle.
  • 5. Factor in PTO value — 10 extra days of PTO at $30/hr (8 hrs/day) = $2,400 of compensation.
'What is the difference between gross and net pay?','answer'=>'Gross pay is your earnings before any deductions. Net pay (take-home pay) is what you receive after federal and state income taxes, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%) are withheld. For a rough estimate, a 25-30% effective tax rate is common for many middle-income earners.'], ['question'=>'How do I calculate the value of my PTO?','answer'=>'Multiply your hourly rate by 8 hours (one standard workday) to get your daily rate. Then multiply by the number of PTO days. Example: $30/hr × 8 hours × 15 PTO days = $3,600 in PTO value. This is helpful when comparing job offers with different PTO policies.'], ]" />
