Summary

Enter your annual salary, pay period, and actual work dates to get the exact prorated pay for any partial period.

How it works

  1. Enter your annual (or monthly) gross salary.
  2. Select your pay period convention: monthly, semi-monthly, bi-weekly, or weekly.
  3. Enter the pay period start and end dates.
  4. Enter the date you actually started (or stopped) working within that period.
  5. Choose the working-days convention — calendar days, weekdays (Mon–Fri), or custom days per year.
  6. The calculator divides your period salary by total working days in the period, then multiplies by the days you actually worked.
