Why use 40 hours/week and 260 workdays?

Those are common approximations for full‑time work in the US: 40 hours/week and 5 days/week for 52 weeks. If your schedule differs (for example, 35 hours/week or 6 days/week), adjust the numbers mentally.

Does this account for taxes or benefits?

No. It works on gross amounts and simple percentages. You can approximate take‑home pay by using a percent that reflects your estimated after‑tax/benefit share (for example, 70–80% of gross).

How to use this calculator

Enter your annual income (or any annual amount).
Set an optional percent if you only want to view a portion of that income.
Review hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, and annual numbers.

Inputs explained

Annual income (or amount): Your annual salary or any yearly amount you want to break down—for example, a target savings amount or a portion of your compensation.
Percent of income to show (%): The percentage of the annual amount you want to convert. Use 100% for the full amount, or a lower percentage (for example, 70–80%) to approximate take‑home or a specific category like savings.

How it works

We start with annual income and optionally scale it by the percent you want to display.

We divide by typical work/period counts: 52 weeks, 26 biweekly periods, 12 months, and 260 workdays (5 days/week × 52 weeks) plus 40 hours/week.

Formula

Adjusted annual amount = Annual income × (Percent ÷ 100)\nHourly ≈ Adjusted annual ÷ (40 × 52)\nDaily ≈ Adjusted annual ÷ 260\nWeekly ≈ Adjusted annual ÷ 52\nBiweekly ≈ Adjusted annual ÷ 26\nMonthly ≈ Adjusted annual ÷ 12\nAnnual = Adjusted annual

When to use it

Converting salary to hourly and monthly figures.
Showing what a portion of your income looks like per period.
Budgeting pay-per-period from an annual target.

Tips & cautions

Adjust percent to see take-home approximations after setting aside savings or taxes.
For different work schedules, adjust the numbers mentally (e.g., 2080 hours/year assumes 40 hours/week).
Use whole income (100%) if you just want straight conversions.
Uses 40-hour weeks, 52 weeks, and 260 workdays as simple divisors.
Does not consider overtime, paid leave, or taxes.

Worked examples

60,000 annual income at 100%

Annual income = $60,000; percent = 100%.
Adjusted annual = 60,000.
Hourly ≈ 60,000 ÷ (40 × 52) ≈ $28.85/hour.
Monthly ≈ 60,000 ÷ 12 = $5,000/month.

80% of 90,000 for budgeting

Annual income = $90,000; percent = 80%.
Adjusted annual = 90,000 × 0.80 = $72,000.
Weekly ≈ 72,000 ÷ 52 ≈ $1,384.62/week.
Monthly ≈ 72,000 ÷ 12 = $6,000/month.
Interpretation: you can treat these numbers as a rough “spendable” or target budget amount if you’re reserving 20% for taxes, savings, or benefits.
