How It Works
This calculator converts a single pay rate into every other pay period so you can compare offers on an even footing. Everything is anchored to annual income. For an hourly wage it multiplies your rate by the hours you work per week and the weeks you work per year; for a weekly or monthly figure it scales up to a year; and if you enter an annual salary it uses that directly. Once it knows your annual income, it derives the rest — monthly is the annual figure divided by 12, weekly is annual divided by your weeks per year, daily is weekly divided by days per week, and hourly is weekly divided by hours per week. A worked example makes the logic clear. Suppose you earn $25 an hour, work 40 hours a week, and work all 52 weeks of the year. Annual income is $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000. From there, monthly pay is $52,000 ÷ 12 ≈ $4,333, weekly is $52,000 ÷ 52 = $1,000, and daily (at 5 days a week) is $1,000 ÷ 5 = $200. Because every period traces back to the same annual number, the figures stay internally consistent no matter which one you started from. Use this tool to compare a salaried job offer against contract or hourly work, to see what a raise means per paycheck, or to translate a monthly wage abroad into a familiar hourly figure. The main pitfall is the assumptions baked into "weeks per year." A common convention is 2,080 hours (40 × 52) for full-time, but if you take two weeks of unpaid leave your real hourly value is based on 2,000 paid hours, which quietly raises your effective hourly rate. The most important caveat: this calculator shows gross pay, before any taxes or deductions. Your actual take-home will be noticeably lower after income tax, Social Security and Medicare, health insurance, and retirement contributions — often 20–30% less — so never budget off the gross figure alone.
Formula
Annual = Hourly × Hours/Week × Weeks/Year Monthly = Annual ÷ 12 Weekly = Annual ÷ Weeks/Year
Examples
$25/hour full-time
A $25 hourly wage equals $52,000 per year full-time.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert hourly wage to annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then by the number of weeks you work per year. For example, $25/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000 per year. If you take unpaid time off, use your actual paid weeks rather than a full 52 for a more accurate figure.
How many work hours are in a year?
A standard full-time schedule is 2,080 hours per year, which is 40 hours a week times 52 weeks. If you take two weeks of unpaid vacation, that drops to about 2,000 hours. This number is the basis for converting between an annual salary and an hourly rate.
Is this gross or net salary?
This calculator shows gross pay, meaning your earnings before any taxes or deductions. Your net, or take-home, pay will be lower after federal and state income tax, Social Security and Medicare, and deductions like health insurance or retirement contributions. Depending on your bracket and location, take-home is often 20–30% below gross.
How do I convert an annual salary to an hourly rate?
Divide your annual salary by the number of hours you work in a year. For full-time work that is typically 2,080 hours, so a $52,000 salary equals about $25 an hour. If your real paid hours are fewer because of unpaid leave, your effective hourly rate is actually higher.
Does this account for overtime or bonuses?
No. The calculator assumes a steady, consistent pay rate across every hour and week you enter. Overtime pay, bonuses, commissions, and shift differentials are not included, so if a large part of your income is variable, treat the result as a baseline and add those amounts separately.
Should I use 52 weeks or fewer when calculating salary?
Use 52 weeks if all your time off is paid, since a salaried employee is paid year-round. Use fewer weeks if you are an hourly worker or contractor who is not paid during time off, because you only earn during the weeks you actually work. Getting this input right is the biggest factor in an accurate annual figure.
Is a $25/hour job a good salary?
At full-time hours, $25 an hour works out to about $52,000 a year gross, which is close to the US median for a single earner but varies widely by cost of living and household size. Whether it is "good" depends on your local expenses, benefits, and whether the role is hourly or salaried. Compare it against typical wages for your occupation and region.
