Hourly to Salary Calculator

Enter your hourly rate and hours per week to see the equivalent salary across pay periods.

The conversion

Annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks per year. Divide the annual figure by 12 for monthly, 26 for biweekly, 24 for semi-monthly, and by (weeks) for weekly. If you take unpaid time off, set paid weeks to 50 or 48 — two unpaid weeks lowers a $25/hour annual figure from $52,000 to $50,000.

Frequently asked questions

How do you convert hourly pay to a yearly salary?

Multiply the hourly rate by hours worked per week, then by the number of paid weeks in the year. At 40 hours and 52 weeks, $25/hour is $52,000 a year.

Should I use 52 weeks or fewer?

Use 52 if you have paid time off (the weeks are still paid). Use 50 or 48 if you take unpaid weeks off, which lowers the annual figure.

Does this account for taxes?

No — this is a gross conversion. For take-home pay after tax, use the main paycheck calculator.

What about overtime?

This assumes a flat rate for all hours. If some hours are paid at 1.5×, calculate those separately and add them. For example, 40 regular hours plus 5 overtime hours at $20 base = (40 × $20) + (5 × $30) = $950 that week.

How do I convert $15, $20 or $25 an hour to a yearly salary?

At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks: $15/hr = $31,200/year, $20/hr = $41,600, $25/hr = $52,000, $30/hr = $62,400. Shortcut: hourly rate × 2,000 is a close annual figure (it assumes two unpaid weeks off).

Is a salary better than an hourly job at the same rate?

Not automatically. Salaried roles often come with paid leave, benefits and stability, but many are exempt from overtime, so extra hours are unpaid. Hourly work pays for every hour (and overtime), but hours — and income — can be cut. Compare the total package, not just the rate.
