How to calculate your monthly income:
| Pay Frequency | How to Determine Annual Income | Example | To determine monthly income, divide by 12 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Annually | Annual Gross Pay | $30,000 | $30,000/12 = $2,500 |
| Monthly | Use monthly gross pay = amount x 12 | $2,500 x 12 = $30,000 | Use monthly gross pay |
| Twice Monthly or Semi-Annually (1st and 15th) | Gross pay for one = pay period x 24 pay periods | 1,200 x 24 = $28,800 | $28,800/12 = $2,400 |
| Biweekly (every 2 weeks) | Biweekly gross pay x 26 pay periods | $1,200 x 26 = $31,200 | $31,200/12 = $2,600 |
| Weekly | Weekly gross pay x 52 pay periods | $600 x 52 = $31,200 | $31,200/12 = $2,600 |
| Hourly, Full Time | Hourly gross pay x 2,080 hours (40 hours/week x 52 weeks) | $15.00 x 2080 = $31,200 | $31,200/12 = $2,600 |
| Hourly, Less than Full-time | (average # of hours worked per week x 52 weeks) x hourly gross pay | (37.5 x 52) = 1950 hrs. x $14.50 = $28,275 | $28,275/12 = $2,356.25 |
