Salary and hourly: two views of the same pay

A salary and an hourly wage are just two ways of describing the same income. To go from one to the other you only need two numbers: how many hours you work in a typical week, and how many weeks you work in a year. Multiply those together to get your yearly hours, then divide your salary by that figure for an hourly rate — or multiply your hourly rate by it to get a salary. This tool keeps both boxes in sync, so you can type whichever you know.

Why your real hourly rate may be different

The default of 2,080 hours assumes 40 hours a week, every week. In reality, paid holidays, unpaid leave and overtime all change the picture. If you want your *true* rate, enter the weeks you actually work (after unpaid time off) and your real average hours. Salaried workers who put in long weeks are often surprised how low their effective hourly rate is — and freelancers should charge well above their old salary rate to cover tax and downtime.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?
Divide your annual salary by the hours you work in a year. A standard full-time year is 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours, so a $60,000 salary is about $28.85/hour. Change the hours and weeks to match your real schedule and the rate updates.
How do I convert hourly pay to an annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per week, then by the weeks you work per year. $25/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000 a year. Just type an hourly rate into the calculator and the salary fills in automatically.
How many working hours are in a year?
A standard full-time year is 2,080 hours (40 hours a week for 52 weeks). If you take unpaid leave or work part-time, lower the hours or weeks and your effective hourly rate goes up.
Is this before or after tax?
These are gross (pre-tax) figures. Your take-home pay is lower after income tax — and, if you are self-employed, after self-employment tax and business expenses too.
