How this was calculated

Formula

Annual = hourly × hours per week × paid weeks = $48.00 × 1,872 = $89,856.00.

What it leaves out

Overtime, shift differentials, bonuses, benefits, taxes and deductions. Monthly is annual ÷ 12.

Your real pay isn't just rate × hours.

Night, weekend and charge differentials and overtime change every paycheck. Nurse Pay for iPhone calculates each actual shift with your own rules, in seconds.

Worked example: $48/hour, three 12s

$48/hour × 36 hours × 52 weeks = 1,872 hours and $89,856.00 a year$7,488.00 a month, $3,456.00 every two weeks, $1,728.00 a week.

That's base pay only. Night, weekend and charge differentials and overtime usually add more; the nurse pay calculator shows how much for a real shift.

How the conversion works

Annual pay = hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks per year. Weekly = rate × hours; every two weeks = weekly × 2; monthly = annual ÷ 12. This is plain arithmetic, shown so you can check it; the Nurse Pay app itself works shift by shift.

Assumptions and limits

  • Excludes differentials, overtime, bonuses, benefits, taxes and deductions — it's gross base pay.
  • Part-time or per-diem? Enter your average weekly hours.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert hourly pay to salary for a nurse?

Multiply your hourly rate by your weekly hours and by the number of paid weeks. Three 12s is 36 hours a week, not 40.

Why is monthly pay not weekly × 4?

A year has about 4.33 weeks per month. Monthly here is annual ÷ 12.
