Convert annual salary to hourly pay

Annual salary is divided by the work hours you expect in a year. With a 40-hour week and 52 paid weeks, that is 2,080 hours per year. A $60,000 salary is therefore about $28.85 per hour before taxes and other adjustments.

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

Convert hourly pay to annual income

Switch the direction to start with an hourly rate. The calculator multiplies that rate by the selected weekly hours and weeks per year, then shows annual, monthly, semi-monthly, biweekly, weekly, and daily equivalents.

annual income = hourly rate × hours/week × weeks/year
Worked example

$25/hour at 40 hours per week

At 52 paid weeks per year, the schedule contains 2,080 work hours.

$25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 annual gross pay

What this calculator does not include

The conversion is gross-pay arithmetic. It does not estimate income tax, payroll tax, benefits, paid or unpaid leave, bonuses, commissions, overtime eligibility, or state-specific payroll rules.

Common questions

Why can my real paycheck differ from this conversion?

Payroll can include taxes, insurance, retirement contributions, overtime, paid time off, bonuses, and other deductions or earnings. This tool only converts gross pay using the schedule you enter.

Should I use 52 weeks per year?

Use 52 when the pay assumption covers the full year. If you expect fewer paid working weeks, change the field so the conversion matches your situation.

How do I calculate overtime pay?

Use the Overtime Pay Calculator after you know the total hours and hourly rate.
