Convert an hourly wage into an annual salary — or a salary back to an hourly rate. See your pay as annual, monthly, bi-weekly, weekly, and hourly, based on your hours per week and weeks per year.
Wage converter
To turn an hourly wage into an annual salary, multiply by the hours you work per week and the weeks you work per year: Annual = hourly × hours/week × weeks/year. At $25/hour for 40 hours over 52 weeks, that's $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 a year. To go the other way, divide the salary by (hours/week × weeks/year). A handy shortcut for a standard 40-hour, 52-week year: hourly × 2,080 = annual salary, and salary ÷ 2,080 = hourly.
Adjust the weeks-per-year if you take unpaid time off — using 50 weeks instead of 52 accounts for two unpaid weeks. This is gross (pre-tax) pay; your take-home will be lower after income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and other deductions. Use the Salary or Take-Home Paycheck calculator to see your net pay.
A full-time year is 40 × 52 = 2,080 hours. Hourly × 2,080 = annual salary; salary ÷ 2,080 = hourly rate.
Set weeks/year to 50 (or fewer) if you take unpaid vacation, so the conversion reflects your real working year.
These figures are before tax. Your take-home pay will be lower — check the Take-Home Paycheck calculator.
