1.5× is standard 'time and a half'
| Period | Amount |

| Weekly | $1,000.00 |
| Biweekly | $2,000.00 |
| Semi-monthly | $2,166.67 |
| Monthly | $4,333.33 |

How the conversion works
Every pay period is derived from your hourly rate: weekly is hourly × hours per week, annual is weekly × weeks per year, and monthly is annual ÷ 12. Overtime is calculated separately and added on top.
For example, $25/hour at 40 hours/week for 52 weeks/year works out to $52,000 a year, or $4,333 a month.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by your hours worked per week, then by the number of weeks you work per year. At 40 hours/week and 52 weeks/year, that's hourly rate × 2,080. For example, $25/hour × 2,080 = $52,000/year.
Should I use 52 or 50 weeks per year?
Use 52 if you're paid for unworked weeks like paid vacation and holidays (most salaried and many hourly employees are). Use fewer weeks (e.g. 50) if you take unpaid time off, since those weeks contribute no pay.
How is overtime calculated?
Under the US Fair Labor Standards Act, eligible hourly employees earn 1.5× their regular rate ('time and a half') for hours worked beyond 40 in a week. Some employers or union agreements use a 2× ('double time') rate for certain hours — adjust the multiplier to match your situation.
What's the difference between biweekly and semi-monthly pay?
Biweekly means every 2 weeks — 26 paychecks a year. Semi-monthly means twice a month (e.g. the 1st and 15th) — 24 paychecks a year. The two are easy to confuse but give noticeably different per-paycheck amounts for the same annual salary.
