Monthly Income Calculator

Knowing your hourly rate or annual income is a great thing. But for budgeting purposes, knowing your monthly income is better.

When it comes to budgeting, your hourly rate or annual income doesn't provide much information. They won't give you enough to properly develop a monthly budget.

This is where calculating your monthly income becomes handy. With it, you have a more reliable figure on which to base your monthly budget.

Use this calculator to easily calculate your monthly income.

How to Use The Monthly Income Calculator

Here's how to easily calculate your monthly income:

1. Enter your salary and specify if it's hourly, daily, weekly, etc.
   
2. Input the number of hours and days you work per week.
   
3. Enter how many weeks you work per year.
   
4. Specify any other income you earned for the month

From there, click "Calculate." Your monthly income should then show on the screen as well as a breakdown of the calculations. Now, you can prepare your monthly budget.

Convert Hourly Rate Into Monthly Income

Your hourly rate is the amount you earn for every hour of work.

To convert it into monthly income, multiply the number of hours you work in a week by the number of weeks you work in a year. Then, multiply your result by your hourly rate. From there, divide the result by 12 (months in a year). Here's what it looks like in a formula:

Monthly Income = Hourly Rate x (Hours Worked per Week x Weeks Worked per Year) ÷ 12

If you've received any other income for the month (e.g., bonuses, profits from selling belongings), add it to the figure you computed above. Alternatively, you can use this formula:

Monthly Income = (Hourly Rate x (Hours Worked per Week x Weeks Worked per Year) ÷ 12) + Other Income

Let's say your hourly rate is $30 and you work 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year. Here's what the calculation would look like:

$30 x (40 x 52) ÷ 12 = $5,200

This is your gross monthly income, which is your earnings before any taxes are deducted.

Convert Annual Income Into Monthly Income

Converting your annual income into your monthly income is much easier than doing it with your hourly rate. Simply divide your annual income by 12. Here's what it looks like as a formula:

Monthly Income = Annual Income ÷ 12

If you've received any other income for the month (e.g., bonuses, profits from selling belongings), add it to the figure you computed above. Alternatively, you can use this formula:

Monthly Income = (Annual Income ÷ 12) + Other Income

Let's say you earn an annual income of $75,000. Here's what the calculation for your monthly income would look like:

$75,000 ÷ 12 = $6,250
