Formulas for every pay schedule
Annual income is what you earn in a year before any tax or deduction comes out. Multiply what you are paid per period by the number of periods in a year:
| You are paid | Formula | Example | Annual income |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hourly | rate × hours per week × weeks worked | $22 × 40 × 52 | $45,760 |
| Weekly | weekly pay × 52 | $950 × 52 | $49,400 |
| Every two weeks (biweekly) | paycheck × 26 | $2,300 × 26 | $59,800 |
| Twice a month (semi-monthly) | paycheck × 24 | $2,500 × 24 | $60,000 |
| Monthly | monthly pay × 12 | $5,200 × 12 | $62,400 |
| Daily | day rate × days worked | $240 × 230 | $55,200 |
Biweekly and semi-monthly are not the same
Biweekly means every other week, which is 26 paychecks in most years. Semi-monthly means twice a month, usually on the 15th and the last day, which is always 24. On the same salary, each semi-monthly check is larger, but the annual total is identical. Mixing the two up — multiplying a biweekly check by 24 — understates your income by two full paychecks, about 7.7%.
Because 52 weeks is 364 days, a year occasionally contains 27 biweekly paydays. If your employer divides a fixed salary by 26, a 27-paycheck year means one extra check; if it divides by 27, each check is smaller. For income applications, use the salary your employer quotes, not a year with an extra payday.
Hours that vary, overtime, tips and time off
- Variable hours: average your hours over at least several months of pay stubs rather than using your best or worst week. Year-to-date gross on your latest pay stub divided by the weeks elapsed gives a reliable weekly average.
- Overtime: under the FLSA, non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5× their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. Add overtime as hours × rate × 1.5, but only include it in "annual income" if it is regular and likely to continue.
- Tips and commissions: include them. They are part of gross income and are reported on your W-2.
- Unpaid time off: if you take two weeks unpaid, use 50 weeks in the formula. Paid holidays and paid vacation count as normal weeks.
- Self-employed: annual income is usually net profit (Schedule C line 31), not gross receipts. Lenders typically ask for two years of tax returns to average it.
Gross, net and adjusted gross income
Applications that ask for annual income — loans, apartments, credit cards, financial aid — almost always mean gross income. Your take-home (net) income is what reaches your bank account after taxes and deductions. Adjusted gross income (AGI) is a tax figure: gross income minus specific adjustments such as traditional 401(k) deferrals, HSA contributions and half of self-employment tax. It appears on Form 1040 and is what the IRS, the FAFSA and many benefit programs use.
For example, $30 an hour full time is $62,400 gross. After 2026 federal tax and FICA, a single filer takes home about $52,318 in Texas, $49,790 in California, $49,245 in New York, because the three states tax wages differently. The New York figure is statewide and leaves out New York City income tax.
| State | Gross (30 × 2,080) | Federal income tax | FICA | State & local | Take-home |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Texas | $62,400 | $5,308 | $4,774 | $0 | $52,318 |
| California | $62,400 | $5,308 | $4,774 | $2,528 | $49,790 |
| New York | $62,400 | $5,308 | $4,774 | $3,073 | $49,245 |
Monthly income from an annual figure
Divide by 12 for gross monthly income: $62,400 a year is $5,200 a month. Landlords often look for monthly gross income of around three times the rent, and mortgage lenders compare monthly debt payments with monthly gross income, so it is worth knowing both numbers. Do not multiply a weekly figure by 4 to get a month — a month averages about 4.33 weeks, so that shortcut understates income by about 8%.
Annual income at common hourly rates
Full-time at 40 hours a week, before tax:
| Hourly rate | Weekly | Monthly | Annual (2,080 hours) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $15.00 | $600 | $2,600 | $31,200 |
| $20.00 | $800 | $3,467 | $41,600 |
| $25.00 | $1,000 | $4,333 | $52,000 |
| $30.00 | $1,200 | $5,200 | $62,400 |
| $40.00 | $1,600 | $6,933 | $83,200 |
| $50.00 | $2,000 | $8,667 | $104,000 |
Frequently asked questions
Is annual income gross or net?
Usually gross — before taxes and deductions. Lenders and applications asking for annual income almost always mean gross income.
Is annual income before or after 401(k) contributions?
Before. Gross annual income includes the pay you put into a 401(k). Box 1 of your W-2 excludes those contributions, which is why it can be lower than your salary.
How do I calculate annual income if I started my job mid-year?
For applications, annualize your current pay: hourly rate × usual weekly hours × 52, or your salary. For taxes, only what you were actually paid during the calendar year counts.
Do I include overtime and bonuses?
Include them if they are regular. Lenders usually average overtime and bonuses over the past one to two years and may ignore them if they are new or irregular.
What is $25 an hour annually?
$52,000 for 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year. At 37.5 hours a week it is $48,750.
What annual income do I put on a credit card application?
Card issuers generally ask for total annual income before tax. Use your gross salary or annualized hourly pay plus other regular income you can document.
