Salary to hourly calculator
Salary to hourly, both ways.
Convert a yearly salary into an hourly rate, or an hourly rate into a yearly salary. Add unpaid weeks or paid days off to see what each hour of work is really worth.
Calculator
Assumptions. This calculator assumes a 5-day work week and at most 52 weeks a year.
Paid hours vs worked hours. Your paid-hours rate divides pay by every hour you are paid for, including paid holidays. Your worked-hours rate divides the same pay by only the hours you actually work, so paid days off raise it.
How the conversion works
A salary covers a set number of paid hours each year. A full-time schedule of 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is 2,080 paid hours. Divide a salary by its paid hours to get the hourly rate, or multiply an hourly rate by them to get the salary. Unpaid weeks reduce the paid hours; paid days off don’t, but they reduce the hours you work. One paid day off is counted as one fifth of your weekly hours.
Formulas
Worked example
A $52,000 salary at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is 52,000 ÷ 2,080 = $25.00 per paid hour. With 15 paid days off, you work 2,080 − 15 × 8 = 1,960 hours, so each hour worked earns 52,000 ÷ 1,960 = $26.53.
The 2,080-hour table
Annual and monthly pay at 2,080 paid hours a year. A month averages 2,080 ÷ 12 = 173.33 hours, which is why monthly pay is the hourly rate × 173.33.
| Hourly rate | Per year (× 2,080) | Per month (× 173.33) |
|---|---|---|
| $10.00 | $20,800 | $1,733.33 |
| $15.00 | $31,200 | $2,600.00 |
| $20.00 | $41,600 | $3,466.67 |
| $25.00 | $52,000 | $4,333.33 |
| $30.00 | $62,400 | $5,200.00 |
| $40.00 | $83,200 | $6,933.33 |
| $50.00 | $104,000 | $8,666.67 |
| $75.00 | $156,000 | $13,000.00 |
| $100.00 | $208,000 | $17,333.33 |
When to use it
- Comparing a salaried offer with an hourly one.
- Seeing how unpaid leave or a shorter week changes your effective rate.
- Figures are before tax and deductions. Overtime isn’t included: under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, covered nonexempt employees must get at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek, and state rules can differ.
