How to Use the Hourly to Salary Calculator

Enter your hourly wage to instantly see your equivalent annual salary, monthly income, biweekly paycheck, and weekly earnings. Adjust the hours per week and weeks per year fields if your schedule differs from the standard 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year. This is especially useful for comparing job offers, budgeting, or understanding how hourly wages translate to yearly income.

Understanding Hourly vs. Salary Compensation

Knowing your annualized earnings helps you compare hourly positions to salaried roles, plan your budget, and negotiate pay. An hourly rate may seem modest, but when multiplied across a full work year, the resulting salary can be quite competitive. Conversely, some salaried positions may actually pay less per hour when you factor in the expected working hours. Use this calculator to make informed decisions about your career and compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert hourly wage to annual salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply by the number of weeks you work per year. For a standard full-time schedule: hourly rate x 40 hours x 52 weeks. For example, $25/hour x 40 x 52 = $52,000 per year.

Should I use 52 weeks or fewer for the calculation?

Use 52 weeks if you receive paid time off (PTO) or are a salaried employee paid for the full year. If you are an hourly worker without paid vacation, subtract your unpaid weeks off. For example, if you take 2 weeks unpaid vacation, use 50 weeks instead of 52.

Does this calculator account for taxes?

No, this calculator shows gross (pre-tax) income only. Your actual take-home pay will be lower after federal income tax, state tax, Social Security, Medicare, and any other deductions. Use a paycheck calculator or tax estimator for net pay figures.

How do I calculate pay for overtime hours?

Standard overtime is paid at 1.5 times your regular hourly rate for hours exceeding 40 per week. To estimate, calculate your regular 40-hour pay, then add the overtime: (overtime hours x hourly rate x 1.5). This calculator uses a consistent weekly hours figure, so adjust the hours per week field if you regularly work overtime.
