How do I convert my salary to an hourly rate?

Divide your annual salary by the hours you actually work in a year. At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks that's 2,080 hours, so a $60,000 salary is about $28.85 an hour. Fewer paid weeks or different weekly hours change the divisor, so set both before reading the result.

How do I work out my take-home pay after taxes?

Start from gross pay, subtract federal income tax based on your filing status and the standard deduction, then subtract FICA (6.2% Social Security up to the wage base plus 1.45% Medicare) and any state income tax. What's left is your take-home pay. The take-home tab does all of this instantly.

Does this calculator include FICA and state tax?

Yes. It applies Social Security and Medicare at the current federal rates and adds state income tax for the state you select, including the states with no income tax such as Texas, Florida and Washington.

What is the difference between gross pay and net pay?

Gross pay is the full amount your employer agrees to pay you before any deductions. Net pay — also called take-home pay — is what actually reaches your bank account after income tax, FICA, state tax and any benefit or retirement deductions.

Is the PayFigures salary calculator free?

Yes. Every calculator is free, needs no sign-up and runs entirely in your browser, so none of the figures you enter are sent to a server or stored.
