Frequently asked questions
How do I calculate my monthly pay from a yearly salary?
Divide your annual salary by 12. Enter your salary above for the exact figure.
Why doesn't my monthly pay match my paycheck?
If you're paid biweekly (26 times a year) or semi-monthly (24 times a year) rather than once a month, your per-paycheck amount won't match a simple ÷12 monthly figure — the two payment schedules divide the same salary differently. This calculator shows both so you can compare.
Model assumptions & disclosures
Gross pay only — not take-home pay. Every figure this converter shows is gross (pre-tax) pay. It never computes federal or state withholding, FICA, or any other deduction — your actual take-home pay will be lower, and by how much depends on your tax bracket, filing status, benefits elections, and state, none of which are modeled here.
A standard schedule, not your specific one. The default 40-hour week and 52-week year (2,080 hours/year) is the common full-time annualization basis — enter your own scheduled hours if yours differs. Paid time off, unpaid leave, and irregular schedules aren't modeled separately.
Overtime models FLSA weekly rules only. Hours over 40 in a week are shown at 1.5× the base rate. Daily-overtime rules that some states apply (for example, hours over 8 in a single day) are not modeled — check your state's specific rules if they may apply to you.
Not financial or legal advice. This calculator provides illustrative estimates based on the inputs you enter. Consult your employer's HR team, a tax professional, or your state labor office before making decisions based on these figures.
