How to use the Hourly to Salary Calculator
- Choose the direction: hourly → salary, or salary → hourly.
- Enter your pay rate, hours per week and — if relevant — overtime hours per week, the overtime multiplier and any unpaid days off per year.
- Read your equivalent pay for every period: yearly, monthly, semi-monthly, biweekly, weekly, daily and hourly.
About this tool
The common US conversion assumes a full-time year of 52 weeks: annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × 52. At 40 hours a week that’s 2,080 hours, so an hourly rate roughly doubles to give the salary in thousands — 25 an hour ≈ 52,000 a year. Going the other way, hourly = salary ÷ 2,080.
Real pay rarely matches the textbook year. Overtime, where it is paid at 1.5×, adds up quickly, and unpaid leave or a shorter contract year reduces the total. This calculator shows both the base conversion and your adjusted annual figure so you can compare a salaried offer to an hourly one honestly. All figures are gross (before tax and deductions).
Frequently asked questions
How many working hours are in a year?
2,080 for a 40-hour week over 52 weeks. If you get 4 weeks of unpaid leave, it’s 1,920. Salaried jobs usually include paid holidays, so the 2,080 figure still applies to them.
Is a salaried job worth more than the same hourly rate?
Often yes: salaried roles typically include paid holidays, sick days and benefits. But if the salaried role expects unpaid overtime, the effective hourly rate can fall below the hourly job’s.
How is overtime calculated?
Overtime hours × your hourly rate × the multiplier (1.5 for time-and-a-half, 2 for double time). Rules on when overtime applies vary by country and contract.
Why is monthly not just weekly × 4?
A year has 52 weeks but 12 months, so a month is on average 4.33 weeks. Monthly pay = annual ÷ 12.
