Hourly to Salary Calculator
Convert an hourly wage into weekly, monthly, and annual salary — or turn a salary back into an hourly rate.
How it works
Comparing an hourly job to a salaried one is hard when they're quoted in different units. This tool puts them on the same footing so you can see, for instance, whether $25 an hour beats a $52,000 salary offer.
The conversion hinges on two numbers you control: hours per week and weeks per year. Multiply your hourly wage by hours per week to get weekly pay, then by weeks per year for the annual figure. Flip the direction and it divides a salary back down to an hourly rate.
Those assumptions matter more than people think. A full-time 40-hour week across all 52 weeks turns $25 an hour into $52,000 a year. Drop to 50 paid weeks because you take unpaid time off, and the same wage lands lower — so adjust the fields to match your real schedule.
Frequently asked questions
How many weeks per year should I use?
Fifty-two covers every week of the year and is the standard for a salaried role with paid time off. If you take unpaid weeks or only work part of the year, lower it — using 50 or 48 weeks gives a more honest annual figure for your situation.
Does this account for taxes?
No, these are gross figures before any deductions. It's purely a units conversion between hourly and salary pay. To see net pay after federal tax, Social Security, and Medicare, run the annual result through the take-home pay calculator.
Can I convert a salary back to an hourly rate?
Yes. Switch the direction to salary-to-hourly, enter the annual salary, and set your hours per week and weeks per year. It divides the salary by the total hours worked to give an equivalent hourly wage — useful for comparing a salaried offer against hourly work.
