Salary to Hourly Calculator

Divide your annual salary by the number of weeks you work per year, then divide by the number of hours you work per week. For standard full-time: salary / 52 weeks / 40 hours. For example, a $60,000 salary equals $60,000 / 52 / 40 = $28.85 per hour.

Understanding your hourly rate helps you compare job offers that use different pay structures, evaluate whether overtime expectations are reasonable, decide if freelance or consulting opportunities are worth pursuing, and understand the true value of your time. If a salaried job expects 50+ hours per week, your effective hourly rate may be lower than expected.

By default, the calculator uses 52 weeks, which assumes you are paid year-round including vacation time. If you want to calculate your effective hourly rate based on actual working weeks only, reduce the weeks per year to exclude vacation, holidays, and sick time (for example, use 48 or 50 weeks).

Divide your annual salary by the number of working days per year. With a standard 5-day work week and 52 weeks, that is 260 working days. So a $60,000 salary equals about $230.77 per day. This calculator shows your daily rate along with other breakdowns automatically.
