How It Works
Hourly to annual
Annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks worked per year. The default assumes a 40-hour week and 52 weeks, but you can adjust for part-time schedules or unpaid time off.
Annual to hourly
Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year) — the reverse of the calculation above.
Example
A $25/hour job worked 40 hours a week for 52 weeks a year equals a $52,000 annual salary.
Common Mistakes
- Assuming exactly 52 paid weeks — subtract unpaid vacation or leave weeks for a more accurate figure.
- Forgetting this is gross (pre-tax) pay — use the Salary Calculator for an actual take-home pay estimate.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this include taxes?
- No — this is a gross pay conversion between hourly and annual pay. For an estimate of actual take-home pay after taxes, use the Salary Calculator.
- What if my hours vary week to week?
- Use your average weekly hours for the best estimate, or run the calculation for a typical busy week and a typical slow week to see the range.
