Convert your annual, weekly, or hourly income to a monthly figure.
Average is 4.33 weeks per month (52 weeks / 12 months).
This calculates gross monthly income (before taxes and deductions).
Multiply your bi-weekly paycheck amount by 26 pay periods, then divide by 12 months to get your average monthly income for budgeting purposes.
Use net take-home pay for budgeting since that is the money actually available for expenses, savings, and discretionary spending after all deductions are taken out.
