Hourly to Salary Calculator

Free hourly to salary calculator: convert an hourly wage into annual, monthly and weekly pay, or turn any annual salary back into an hourly rate.

An hourly-to-salary conversion turns a pay rate into the same money expressed over a different period. Multiply the hourly rate by the hours you work each week and the weeks you work each year, and you get the annual equivalent; divide an annual salary by those same hours and you get the implied hourly rate.

This calculator runs both directions. Pick the direction you need, enter the rate or salary you already know, then set your real schedule — hours per week, days per week and weeks per year — and every other pay period updates at once.

The schedule inputs matter more than most people expect. A 40-hour week across 52 weeks is 2,080 paid hours a year, the convention the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics uses to annualise hourly earnings. Work 48 weeks because of unpaid leave, or 20 hours a week because the job is part time, and the annual figure changes in proportion.

All results are gross pay, before income tax, social security, pension contributions, health premiums and other deductions. Converting an hourly rate to a salary does not tell you what lands in your bank account, but it does show how two offers compare on the same basis — which is what you need when an employer quotes one figure and you are paid on another.

$/hr
Your gross pay for one hour of work, before tax and deductions. Do not add overtime — enter the base rate.
hrs
Paid hours in a normal week. Full time is usually 40, though 35, 37.5 and 38 are common; enter 20 for a typical part-time schedule.
days
Working days in a normal week. Used for the daily equivalent and does not change the annual figure.
weeks
Weeks you are actually paid. Keep 52 when holiday is paid; lower it to 48-50 for unpaid leave or seasonal work.
Example
Worked example — hourly to annual: $25.00 per hour, 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year and 5 days a week.
Annual pay: 25 x 40 x 52 = $52,000
Monthly pay: 52,000 / 12 = $4,333 (the exact figure is $4,333.33; the page rounds for display)
Semi-monthly pay: 52,000 / 24 = $2,167
Biweekly pay: 25 x 40 x 2 = $2,000
Weekly pay: 25 x 40 = $1,000
Daily pay: 1,000 / 5 = $200
Reverse check: enter $52,000 a year with the same schedule and the calculator returns $25.00 an hour.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?

Multiply the hourly rate by the hours you work each week, then by the weeks you are paid each year. At $25 an hour for 40 hours a week over 52 weeks, the annual salary is 25 x 40 x 52 = $52,000.

How do I work out my hourly rate from a salary?

Divide the annual salary by your total paid hours in the year. A $52,000 salary at 40 hours a week over 52 weeks is 52,000 / 2,080 = $25.00 an hour. The 2,080-hour year is the standard the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics uses for this conversion.

Does this include tax?

No. Every figure is gross pay, before income tax, social security, pension contributions and benefit deductions. Take-home pay is typically 20 to 35 percent lower depending on your country, region and filing status, so use a separate paycheck or income tax calculator for net pay.

How many working hours are in a year?

A standard full-time year is 2,080 hours: 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. Unpaid leave reduces the paid total — 50 weeks is 2,000 hours and 48 weeks is 1,920. Enter your actual paid weeks instead of assuming 52.

Is this useful for part-time or contract work?

Yes, and it is where the schedule inputs earn their keep. Set hours per week to your real part-time hours, say 20, and the annual figure becomes a genuine part-time equivalent. Contractors should also lower the weeks per year, because unpaid gaps between contracts earn nothing.

All figures are gross pay. Income tax, social security, pension contributions and benefit deductions are not included, so take-home pay will be lower — often by 20 to 35 percent depending on where you live and how you file. Overtime is not modelled. Hours beyond the overtime threshold are usually paid at a premium (1.5x in the United States under the Fair Labor Standards Act), so someone with regular overtime earns more than this conversion shows. The default 52-week year assumes every week is paid. Lower it to 50 or 48 for unpaid leave, seasonal work or a partial year. Keep 52 if your time off is paid, because a salary does not drop during paid holiday. Part-time and contract work: set hours per week to your actual paid hours, and the annual figure becomes a true part-time equivalent instead of a full-time projection.
