Comparing an hourly wage to a salaried offer requires putting both in the same terms. This calculator converts an hourly rate into its annual and monthly equivalent.
Salaried roles almost always include paid time off; hourly roles don't always. Using 52 weeks assumes no unpaid time off — lower this number if you expect unpaid weeks.
This assumes a flat hourly rate for all hours entered — calculate overtime hours separately if your rate differs for extra hours.

IRS figures are inflation-adjusted every year. This data must be re-verified against irs.gov before each new tax year — do not assume it still applies after 2026. Federal income tax + FICA (Social Security and Medicare) only. Does NOT include state income tax (varies by state, some have none), local taxes, or any credits beyond the standard deduction. Married Filing Separately brackets are derived by halving the official Married Filing Jointly thresholds — a documented, consistent structural rule under the current tax code, confirmed against the IRS's own published MFS/MFJ tables. Additional Medicare Tax threshold varies by filing status ($200,000 Single/Head of Household, $250,000 Married Filing Jointly, $125,000 Married Filing Separately), which is why FICA levies live inside each status's own config rather than at the system level.
