Salary Payments per Year Calculator (12, 13 or 14 Payments)
Split an annual salary into 12, 13, 14, 15 or 16 payments: each monthly payment, each extra payment, and the monthly pay when the extra payments are prorated into every month.
How it works
each payment = annual salary ÷ number of payments · extra payments = payments − 12 · prorated monthly pay = annual salary ÷ 12 · difference = annual ÷ 12 − annual ÷ payments
In several countries salaries are paid in more than 12 instalments: 14 payments are standard in Spain, Portugal, Austria and Greece (two extra payments, typically in summer and at Christmas), 13 in Italy, Belgium and the Philippines, and a 13th-month payment is common across Latin America. The annual salary does not change — it is only divided differently. When the extras are prorated, each month includes a share of them, so the monthly pay is higher but there are no separate bonus months.
Worked example
A $30,000 gross annual salary paid in 14 payments gives a monthly payment of $2,142.86 plus 2 extra payments of $2,142.86 each. If the extras were prorated into 12 months, the monthly pay would be $2,500.00 — $357.14 more each month for the same annual total.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a salary in 14 payments to 12?
Divide the annual salary by 12 instead of 14. €30,000 in 14 payments is €2,142.86 each; prorated over 12 months it is €2,500 a month.
Is a salary paid in 14 payments higher?
No. The annual salary is the same; it is only divided into more, smaller payments with two larger months in the year.
When are extra payments usually paid?
Commonly in June or July and in December, but the dates depend on the collective agreement or contract. A 13th month is usually paid in December.
Are extra payments taxed differently?
Usually not: they are part of the annual salary, and withholding is generally based on the annual amount. In some countries each payment can be withheld separately.
