Hourly to Salary Calculator

Convert an hourly wage into annual, monthly, weekly and daily pay — or go the other way and turn a salary into an hourly rate. Set your hours per week and weeks per year for an accurate figure. Perfect for comparing a job offer, a contract rate, or freelance pricing. Updates as you type.

How the conversion works

The whole calculation hangs on your total hours worked per year — hours per week multiplied by weeks per year:

annual = hourly × hours/week × weeks/year

hourly = annual ÷ (hours/week × weeks/year)

• Comparing a freelance rate to a salary? Lower the weeks (e.g. 48) to allow for unpaid time off and admin — your effective hourly needs to be higher than a salaried equivalent.
• Part-time or overtime? Change the hours per week and the annual figure tracks it instantly.
• These are gross figures — before tax. Take-home pay will be lower.

This is an educational estimate of gross pay and does not account for tax, benefits, or overtime premiums. Not financial advice.

FAQ

How do you convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per week, then by the number of weeks you work per year. For example, $25/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000 per year. Drop the weeks figure (e.g. to 48 or 50) to account for unpaid time off.

How do you convert a salary to an hourly rate?

Divide your annual salary by the total hours you work in a year (hours per week × weeks per year). For example, $52,000 ÷ (40 × 52) = $25/hour. This is the most accurate way to compare a salaried role against hourly or freelance work.

Should I use 52 weeks or fewer?

Use 52 weeks for gross pay with paid time off included. If you want to reflect unpaid leave — common for contractors and freelancers — lower the weeks (e.g. 48–50) so the annual figure matches what you actually earn. The calculator lets you set both hours per week and weeks per year.

Is this gross or take-home pay?

These figures are gross — before tax, deductions and benefits. Your actual take-home pay will be lower depending on your tax situation. Use this to compare offers and rates on a like-for-like basis, not as a net-pay estimate.
