Hourly to Salary Tax Calculator

How it works

Gross = rate × hours per week × weeks · Taxable = gross − standard deduction · Net = gross − federal − FICA − state · Net hourly = net ÷ total hours

Converting an hourly wage to a salary is just rate times the hours worked in a year, but the number that matters for your budget is what lands after tax. This calculator applies the 2025 federal brackets on income after the standard deduction, flat 7.65% FICA and a flat state rate, then divides the net back down to an effective after-tax hourly rate. That net hourly figure is a fairer way to compare a salaried offer against contract or gig work.

Worked example

At $30 an hour for 40 hours across 52 weeks, gross is $62,400 a year. For a single filer with a 5% state rate, federal tax is about $5,450, FICA $4,774 and state $3,120 — leaving roughly $49,057 net, an effective $23.59 per hour instead of the $30 headline rate.
