Before you trust the result
Common input mistakes for this calculator.
Check these before copying, saving, or sending the result. Small input choices can move hours, pay, PTO, or deadline dates.
Annual income estimates can be too low when a take-home paycheck is entered as if it were gross pay.
Use gross pay for gross annual income, or label the result as take-home income.Weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, and monthly pay do not scale the same way across a year.
Match the frequency to the paycheck schedule before trusting the annual total.Bonuses, commissions, unpaid leave, and schedule changes can make the yearly total uneven.
Add irregular income as a separate scenario instead of hiding it in one average.Formula and assumptions See how this estimate is built
Formula: Annual income = pay amount × matching periods per year, or hourly rate × hours × weeks.
Choose the frequency that matches the amount entered before scaling to yearly pay.
Gross annual income excludes taxes, deductions, bonuses, and unpaid time.
Before you use annual income
Make sure the amount matches the frequency. A biweekly paycheck amount should use biweekly, while a monthly amount should use monthly.
The result is gross income. Taxes, deductions, benefits, unpaid time off, bonuses, and changing schedules can all change the money you actually receive.
How the estimate is built
Annual income scales the entered pay amount by its frequency, such as weekly x 52, biweekly x 26, or monthly x 12.
Common situations
- You are comparing jobs paid on different schedules.
- You want to turn paycheck amounts into a yearly estimate.
- You need a gross annual number for planning.

User scenario questions
How do I annualize income with unpaid time off?
Use paid weeks instead of assuming 52. Hourly rate times weekly hours times paid weeks gives a cleaner gross annual estimate when some weeks are unpaid.
Can I annualize part-time income?
Yes. Use the expected part-time hours and paid weeks. Do not compare the result with a full-time salary unless the hours and benefits are also part of the comparison.
Should bonuses be included in annual income?
Include bonuses only when you want a total expected gross income estimate. Keep base pay and bonus pay separate if you are comparing stable income.
