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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
