Hourly to Salary Calculator
Convert an hourly wage to annual, monthly, biweekly, weekly and daily pay, with overtime, paid or unpaid days off and an optional after-tax estimate. It also turns a salary back into an hourly rate.
How it works
Weekly = rate × hours + overtime hours × rate × OT multiplier · Annual = weekly × weeks − unpaid days off × hours per day × rate · Monthly = annual ÷ 12 · Reverse: hourly = salary ÷ (hours × weeks)
Annual pay is your hourly rate times the hours you are paid for in a year. A regular week is the rate times your weekly hours; overtime adds its hours at the rate times the overtime multiplier (1.5 for time and a half, 2 for double time). Multiplying one week by the weeks you are paid gives the yearly figure. Full-time is usually 2,080 hours, which is 40 hours across 52 weeks. Days off work in two ways. Unpaid holidays, vacation or sick days remove their hours (days × hours per day) from the year and lower your pay. Paid days off leave your pay unchanged, but you work fewer hours for it, so the calculator also shows the effective rate per hour actually worked. Monthly, semimonthly and quarterly figures are the yearly total divided by 12, 24 and 4. Weekly and biweekly figures are what one or two working weeks pay. An optional flat tax rate turns every period into an after-tax estimate. The reverse field divides a salary by your regular yearly hours to find the matching hourly rate.
Worked example
At $30 an hour for 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year: $1,200 a week, $62,400 a year and $5,200 a month. Add 10 overtime hours a week at time and a half and each week gains 10 × $30 × 1.5 = $450, so the year comes to $85,800. With no overtime but 10 unpaid holidays and 15 unpaid vacation days, the year loses 25 × 8 = 200 hours, or $6,000, leaving $56,400. Read in reverse, a $62,400 salary over 2,080 hours is $30 an hour.
Frequently asked questions
How many work hours are in a year?
Full-time is usually taken as 2,080 hours, which is 40 hours × 52 weeks. Taking 10 unpaid holidays and 15 unpaid vacation days removes 200 hours and leaves 1,880. Enter your days off under More options and the calculator does this for you.
How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?
Divide the annual salary by your yearly hours. A $62,400 salary over 2,080 hours is $30 an hour. Type a salary into the reverse field and the calculator shows the hourly figure using your hours and weeks.
How is overtime included?
Turn on weekly overtime and enter your average overtime hours and multiplier. Each overtime hour pays the hourly rate times the multiplier, usually 1.5. You can add double-time hours too. The results show the overtime part of your yearly pay and your average pay per paid hour.
Should I count paid holidays and vacation?
If those days are paid, keep 52 weeks and choose “Paid”: your yearly pay stays the same and the calculator shows your effective rate per hour actually worked. If they are unpaid, choose “Unpaid” and the hours are taken out of your pay.
Does this show take-home pay?
Only if you enter an estimated tax rate under More options. It applies one flat percentage to every pay period. For federal brackets, Social Security, Medicare and state tax, use the paycheck take-home calculator.
Does this include benefits?
No. Health insurance, retirement matching and other benefits are not included, and they can add a lot to total compensation.
