Frequently Asked Questions
- How do I convert an hourly rate to annual salary?
- Multiply hourly rate by hours per week, then by 52 weeks. For example, $25/hour x 40 hours x 52 weeks = $52,000/year.
- What is the difference between gross and net salary?
- Gross salary is your total pay before any deductions. Net salary (take-home pay) is what you receive after taxes, insurance, and retirement contributions are subtracted.
- How do biweekly and semi-monthly pay differ?
- Biweekly means every 2 weeks (26 paychecks/year). Semi-monthly means twice a month on fixed dates like the 1st and 15th (24 paychecks/year). Biweekly gives you 2 extra paychecks.
