Convert hourly pay to a salary
Enter your hourly rate, hours per week, and paid weeks per year.
How the conversion works
To turn an hourly wage into a yearly salary, multiply the hourly rate by the hours you work each week, then multiply by the number of paid weeks in the year. Twenty-five dollars an hour at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is 25 times 40 times 52, which equals 52,000 a year before taxes. To go the other way, divide the annual salary by the total hours worked in the year. All figures are gross pay, meaning before taxes and deductions.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours you work each week, then multiply by the number of weeks you work per year. 25 dollars an hour at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is 25 times 40 times 52, which equals 52,000 per year before taxes.
How many work hours are in a year?
A common full-time assumption is 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, which is 2,080 hours a year. If you take unpaid time off, use fewer weeks. For example, 50 paid weeks at 40 hours is 2,000 hours.
Is this calculation before or after taxes?
This is gross pay, meaning before taxes, insurance, and other deductions. Your take-home pay will be lower. Tax amounts depend on where you live and your personal situation, so this tool does not estimate them.
How do I convert a salary back to an hourly rate?
Divide the annual salary by the number of hours you work in a year. For 52,000 a year at 2,080 hours, that is 52,000 divided by 2,080, which equals 25 dollars an hour. This calculator shows the hourly equivalent automatically.
