Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between bi-weekly and semi-monthly?
Bi-weekly means every 2 weeks, resulting in 26 paychecks per year. Semi-monthly means twice per month (e.g., 1st and 15th), resulting in 24 paychecks per year. This difference can affect your monthly budgeting.
How is hourly rate calculated from annual salary?
Annual salary is divided by the total hours worked per year. With standard 40 hours/week and 52 weeks/year, that's 2,080 hours. So $75,000/year ÷ 2,080 hours = $36.06/hour.
Why do I need to adjust hours per week?
Not everyone works 40 hours. Part-time workers might work 20-30 hours. Some salaried positions expect 45-50 hours. Adjusting this ensures accurate hourly rate calculations.
How do vacation weeks affect my salary?
Paid vacation is included in your salary - you're paid for 52 weeks but may only work 50. Unpaid time off reduces your effective weeks worked, which affects your true hourly rate if you're comparing to hourly positions.
