How it works
This calculator estimates annual pay from your hourly wage and work schedule, then divides that amount by 12 to estimate monthly pay.
Example
If you make $20 per hour, work 40 hours per week, and work 52 weeks per year, your annual pay is $41,600 and your estimated monthly pay is about $3,466.67.
Average earnings versus cash received
At $20 an hour for 40 hours across 52 paid weeks, the monthly average is $3,466.67. Four weeks of that pay is only $3,200. Multiplying a weekly amount by four and calling it a monthly average leaves out four weeks over a full year.
If you receive biweekly checks, the money arriving during a month can differ from the average. Use the average to compare earnings across jobs; use the employer's payday calendar to plan bill payments.
Account for unpaid weeks
For an hourly worker paid for 50 weeks at the same $20 rate and 40-hour schedule, annual gross falls to $40,000 and the monthly average becomes $3,333.33. Two unpaid weeks reduce the annual estimate by $1,600.
Include paid leave weeks when they are paid at the rate and hours you are modeling. The calculation assumes the same weekly hours throughout all entered weeks. Seasonal work, changing rates, tips, overtime premiums, and bonuses need separate calculations.
