weekly pay = hourly × hours per week = $15 × 40 = $600

biweekly pay = hourly × hours per week × 2 = $15 × 40 × 2 = $1,200

monthly pay = hourly × hours per week × 52 / 12 = $15 × 40 × 52 / 12 = $2,600

yearly pay = hourly × hours per week × 52 = $15 × 40 × 52 = $31,200

In general, the rate of pay includes all kinds of payments received by an employee or freelancer from an employer, including wages, bonuses, commissions, overtime rates, etc. However, in the United States, the rate of pay meaning is different: we have separately the regular pay rate and the overtime one.

Regular rate of pay, or wage, is received during regular working hours without overtime.

Overtime refers to the number of hours worked outside normal, regular working hours. In this case, the overtime pay rate is usually multiplied by 1.5.

Using this pay rate calculator is very simple:

1. Determine the total number of hours worked per week.
2. Enter your hourly wage.
3. Voilà! The rate of pay calculator will instantly show your pay rate during 1 day, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, and the whole year.

Note that this hourly rate salary calculator is flexible and works in any direction. For example, you can enter your weekly salary, and the calculator will calculate all other salary rates for any number of hours worked.

Let's check how to calculate the hourly rate from your salary if you work 40 hours a week and earn $3,500 a month:

1. Use the formula for monthly pay rate:

   monthly pay = hourly × hours per week × 52 / 12

2. Convert to:

   hourly pay = monthly pay × 12 / (hours per week × 52)

3. Substitute the data:

   hourly pay = $3,500 × 12 / (40 × 52) = $20.19

The annual salary is $47,840, based on a 40-hour workweek. To calculate this:

1. Use the formula for yearly pay:

   yearly = hourly × hours per week × 52

2. Input the hourly wage ($23) and weekly work hours (40):

   yearly = $23 × 40 × 52 = $47,840 per year
