Convert an annual salary to an hourly rate, or an hourly rate to an annual salary — with weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, and monthly pay. See your effective hourly rate after vacation and holidays, and compare up to three amounts side by side.
The formulas
hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year) annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year effective hourly = annual salary ÷ (paid hours − time-off hours)

Hourly to salary: common hourly rates
Going the other way, set the direction to Hourly → annual salary.
At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, an hourly rate is multiplied by 2,080:
A salaried offer and an hourly offer are hard to compare directly. Putting
both on an hourly basis — and adjusting for the hours each actually
expects — shows which one pays more for your time. If a role expects
50-hour weeks, its real hourly rate is a lot lower than salary ÷ 2,080.
How do I convert an annual salary to an hourly rate?
Divide the salary by the hours you're paid for in a year. At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks that's 2,080 hours, so a $52,000 salary is $25.00 an hour. Change the hours-per-week or weeks-per-year fields if your schedule is different.
What is the effective (real) hourly rate?
Salaried employees are paid for vacation and holidays, so the hours they actually work are fewer than the hours they're paid for. Divide the salary by hours actually worked instead. On $52,000 with 15 vacation days and 10 holidays, you work 1,880 hours, so your effective rate is about $27.66 — higher than the $25.00 headline.
How is this different from the Hourly Pay Calculator?
This tool converts a fixed annual salary into an hourly rate and every pay period, for comparing offers. The Hourly Pay Calculator goes the other way and adds overtime: it takes an hourly rate plus the hours you work and projects your gross pay for a week, paycheck, month, or year.
$60,000 a year is how much an hour?
About $28.85 an hour at 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year ($60,000 ÷ 2,080). At 37.5 hours a week it's $30.77.
How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work in a week, then by the weeks you are paid in a year. At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks that is your rate × 2,080, so $25 an hour is $52,000 a year. In this calculator choose Hourly → annual salary as the direction, enter your rate, and adjust hours per week and paid weeks per year if your schedule is different.
$20 an hour is how much a year?
$41,600 a year before tax at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks ($20 × 2,080), or about $3,467 a month. With two unpaid weeks off it is $40,000.
Why is my real annual pay different from my rate × 2,080?
2,080 assumes you are paid for every hour of a full year. Unpaid time off, unpaid holidays, and cut shifts lower it; regular overtime raises it. The hourly-to-salary guide walks through both adjustments.
Should I use 2,080 hours?
It's the standard full-time figure (40 × 52) and makes offers comparable. Use a smaller number if you work part-time or your standard week isn't 40 hours.
