Frequently Asked Questions about the Salary Calculator
How does the calculator convert between pay frequencies?
It annualizes your entry first, then divides into every other period. Hourly goes through hours-per-week x weeks-per-year (default 40 x 52 = 2,080 hours). Daily assumes a 5-day workweek. From there, weekly = annual / weeks-per-year, biweekly = weekly x 2, and monthly = annual / 12.
What tax rate is used for the take-home estimate?
A flat 29.65% combined rate: 22% federal effective rate (a middle-income assumption) plus 7.65% FICA (Social Security 6.2% + Medicare 1.45%). State and local income taxes are not included, so your actual take-home in a high-tax state will be lower than shown.
Can you walk through an example?
Enter $75,000 annual with the defaults (40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year). The calculator returns $36.06 per hour, $288.46 per day, $1,442.31 per week, $2,884.62 biweekly, $6,250.00 per month, and an estimated take-home of $52,762.50 per year ($4,397 per month) after applying the 29.65% combined rate.
Are biweekly and semi-monthly the same thing?
No. Biweekly means every two weeks, producing 26 paychecks per year. Semi-monthly means twice a month, producing 24 paychecks per year. This calculator uses the biweekly convention, which is the most common payroll schedule among US employers.
What is the most common mistake when evaluating a salary offer?
Treating gross pay as spendable income. After federal income tax, FICA, state tax, health insurance premiums, and 401(k) contributions, most US workers take home 60-75% of their gross. Run the numbers against take-home pay before committing to a rent or car payment based on the offer letter number.
