Hourly to Salary Calculator 2026 (+ Salary to Hourly)

This calculator converts an hourly wage to an annual salary (and vice versa) using the standard 2,080 work hours per year (40 hours/week × 52 weeks). For example, $25/hour = $52,000/year, or a $75,000 salary = $36.06/hour. Enter your hourly rate or salary to see breakdowns by annual, monthly, biweekly, and weekly pay periods. This is a gross pay conversion; for take-home pay after taxes, see our paycheck calculators.

How the Hourly-to-Salary Conversion Works

The formula is straightforward:

  • Hourly to Annual: Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year
  • Annual to Hourly: Hourly Rate = Annual Salary ÷ (Hours per Week × Weeks per Year)
  • Monthly: Annual Salary ÷ 12
  • Biweekly: Annual Salary ÷ 26
  • Weekly: Annual Salary ÷ 52

For a standard full-time schedule of 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year, you work 2,080 hours per year. This is the most common basis employers use to convert between hourly and salary figures.

Part-Time Workers

If you work fewer than 40 hours per week, your annual equivalent is proportionally lower. A $25/hour worker at 30 hours/week earns $39,000/year instead of $52,000. Adjust the "Hours per Week" field in the calculator to see exact figures for your schedule.

Overtime Is Not Included

This calculator computes base salary equivalent only. Overtime pay (typically 1.5× your regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 per week under the FLSA) is a separate calculation. If you regularly work overtime, your actual annual earnings will be higher than what this calculator shows. Use our Overtime Pay Calculator to estimate overtime wages.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Full-Time Worker at $25/hour

Profile: $25.00/hour, 40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year

Annual salary = $25.00 × 40 × 52 = $52,000
Monthly = $52,000 ÷ 12 = $4,333.33
Biweekly = $52,000 ÷ 26 = $2,000.00
Weekly = $52,000 ÷ 52 = $1,000.00

Example 2: Full-Time Worker at $18.50/hour

Profile: $18.50/hour, 40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year

Annual salary = $18.50 × 40 × 52 = $38,480
Monthly = $38,480 ÷ 12 = $3,206.67

Example 3: Reverse, $75,000 Salary to Hourly Rate

Profile: $75,000/year, 40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year (2,080 total hours)

Hourly rate = $75,000 ÷ 2,080 hours = $36.06/hour

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply by the number of weeks you work per year. The standard formula is: Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours/Week × Weeks/Year. For a full-time worker at 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year, that's hourly rate × 2,080.
How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?
Divide your annual salary by the total number of hours you work per year. For a standard full-time schedule (40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year), divide by 2,080. For example, a $75,000 salary ÷ 2,080 hours = $36.06/hour.
Does this calculation include overtime pay?
No. This calculator computes your base salary equivalent only. Overtime pay (typically 1.5× or 2× your regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 per week) is calculated separately. Use our Overtime Pay Calculator to estimate overtime wages.
How does working part-time (fewer than 40 hours) affect the annual salary?
Working fewer hours per week directly reduces your annual salary proportionally. For example, at $25/hr working 30 hours/week for 52 weeks, your annual pay is $25 × 30 × 52 = $39,000, compared to $52,000 at 40 hours/week. Simply adjust the 'Hours per Week' field in the calculator.
What if I don't work all 52 weeks in a year?
If you have unpaid time off, reduce the weeks-per-year figure accordingly. For example, if you take 2 weeks of unpaid vacation, use 50 weeks. At $25/hr, 40 hrs/week, 50 weeks: $25 × 40 × 50 = $50,000 (vs. $52,000 at 52 weeks).
Is $25 an hour a good salary?
At $25/hour working full-time (40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year), you'd earn $52,000 per year before taxes. Whether that's 'good' depends on your location, cost of living, and household size. According to BLS data, the median hourly wage for all occupations in the U.S. was approximately $23.11 in 2023, so $25/hour is above the national median.
Does this calculator account for taxes?
No. This is a gross pay conversion tool. It shows your pay before federal income tax, state income tax, FICA (Social Security and Medicare), and any other deductions. Your take-home pay will be lower. Visit our calculators page for after-tax estimates.
