How to calculate

Computes gross monthly and yearly income (before tax) from pay for any period plus other income such as tips, bonuses or rent.

Example with the default inputs (Your pay $1,900.00, Paid every two weeks, Paid weeks a year 52, Other income $0.00): Pay of $1,900.00 every two weeks and $0.00 a year of other income is a gross income of $4,116.67 a month.

Method: yearly income = pay × times paid a year + other income a year, where hourly pay is paid hours a week × weeks, daily pay days a week × weeks, weekly pay weeks, two-weekly pay weeks ÷ 2, twice-monthly pay 24, monthly pay 12 and yearly pay 1 time; monthly income = yearly ÷ 12.

  • Income is gross: before income tax, Social Security and Medicare tax, and other deductions.
  • A year has 52 weeks. Unpaid weeks off lower the paid weeks for hourly, daily, weekly and two-weekly pay; monthly, twice-monthly and yearly pay do not depend on weeks.
  • Every paid hour earns the same rate: overtime at a higher rate is not included unless you add it to other income.
  • Other income is added as entered, per month or per year.

How gross income is worked out

gross yearly income = pay × times paid a year + other income a year

gross monthly income = gross yearly income ÷ 12

Times paid a year:

  • per hour: hours a week × paid weeks

  • per day: days a week × paid weeks

  • per week: paid weeks

  • every two weeks: paid weeks ÷ 2 (26 for 52 weeks)

  • twice a month: 24

  • per month: 12

  • per year: 1

  • Paid weeks is 52, less any unpaid weeks off. Paid vacation and holidays stay in.

  • Other income is entered per month (or per year, with the switch) and added to the year: a monthly amount × 12.

  • The calculator also shows the year per two weeks (÷ 26) and per week (÷ 52).

Assumptions

  • All amounts are gross: before income tax, Social Security and Medicare tax, and other deductions.
  • Every paid hour earns the same rate. Add overtime or a bonus as other income.
  • Twice-monthly, monthly and yearly pay do not change with the weeks you work.

Other questions people ask

What is gross income?

Gross income is all your income before anything is taken out: pay, tips, bonuses, commissions and other income. Federal tax law defines it as all income from whatever source derived (26 U.S.C. 61). Net or take-home pay is what is left after tax and deductions.

How do I calculate gross monthly income?

Work out your gross income for a year, then divide by 12. Hourly: rate × hours a week × 52 ÷ 12. Every two weeks: paycheck × 26 ÷ 12. Twice a month: paycheck × 2. Add other monthly income. $22 an hour for 40 hours plus $300 a month in tips is 22 × 40 × 52 ÷ 12 + 300 = $4,113.33.

Why do lenders ask for gross monthly income?

Lenders compare your monthly debt payments with your gross monthly income to get your debt-to-income ratio. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau defines it as all your monthly debt payments divided by your gross monthly income.

Why is my biweekly pay times 2 not my monthly income?

A year has 26 two-week pay periods, not 24, so two paychecks a month would miss two a year. $2,100 every two weeks is 2,100 × 26 ÷ 12 = $4,550 a month, not $4,200.

Does gross income include my employer's benefits?

This calculator counts only what you enter: your pay and your other income. Tax law can count some fringe benefits as income, but most job offers and loan forms ask for your pay.

Is this the same as adjusted gross income on a tax return?

No. Adjusted gross income (AGI) is gross income minus certain adjustments, such as some retirement contributions. This calculator does not work out tax or AGI.
