Hourly to Salary Calculator
See what your hourly rate adds up to over a full year — useful for comparing an hourly job against a salaried offer, or for setting an annual income target.
Your rate details
Your annual salary equivalent
All figures are gross pay before taxes and deductions, and assume every week is worked and paid — see the gotchas on unpaid time off.
How the math works
The conversion builds up step by step: your rate times your weekly hours gives your weekly pay, and a year is treated as 52 weeks:
Biweekly pay is two weeks of pay, and monthly pay is the annual figure divided by 12 — an average month, since months don't all contain the same number of weeks. This calculator uses your straight-time rate only. If you regularly work overtime, your true annual pay will be higher; run your typical week through the Hourly Paycheck Calculator and multiply the weekly gross by 52 for a better estimate.
Worked example (in USD)
An hourly rate of $25/hour at 40 hours per week:
Weekly pay: $25 × 40 = $1,000
Annual salary: $1,000 × 52 = $52,000/year
That's also $2,000 biweekly and about $4,333.33 a month.
Common gotchas
- The 52-week assumption. This math assumes you are paid for all 52 weeks. Salaried workers usually are (paid vacation is included); hourly workers often aren't. Two unpaid weeks off at $25/hour and 40 hours a week means $2,000 less than the figure shown — use 50 weeks instead of 52 if that's your situation, by reducing the hours accordingly or treating the result as a ceiling.
- Overtime cuts both ways. Regular overtime pushes your real annual pay above this number; irregular hours and slow weeks pull it below. The conversion is only as steady as your schedule.
- A salary offer isn't directly comparable. A $52,000 salary typically comes with paid time off and benefits, and no overtime premium. A $25/hour job with regular overtime may pay more cash; a $52,000 salary may be worth more overall. Compare the full package, not just the headline number.
- Part-time hours matter. At 30 hours a week, $25/hour is $39,000 a year, not $52,000. The "× 2,080 hours" shortcut you may see elsewhere only works for a full-time 40-hour week.
