Hourly wage to annual salary — both directions
This hourly to salary calculator converts an hourly wage into weekly, monthly and annual pay — or flips a salary back into an equivalent hourly rate. Set your real hours per week and paid weeks per year, and every period updates instantly, so you can compare a contract rate against a salaried offer on equal terms.
Compare job offers honestly
A $30/hour contract and a $55,000 salary aren't directly comparable until you fix the assumptions: how many hours a week, and how many weeks are actually paid? Contractors without paid vacation might work 48 paid weeks, not 52 — and that difference alone shifts the annual figure by thousands. The “paid weeks” field makes that adjustment explicit instead of hiding it.
Gross pay, clearly labeled
All results are pre-tax, which is the right basis for comparing offers — taxes depend on your personal situation, not the job. For planning what a salary becomes over time, try the compound interest calculator, and for quick percentage raises the percentage calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert an hourly rate to an annual salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by hours per week, then by paid weeks per year. At $25/hour, 40 hours a week and 52 weeks: 25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 a year.
What is the quick shortcut for 40-hour weeks?
Double the hourly rate and add three zeros: $25/hour ≈ $50,000. It works because 40 × 50 = 2,000 hours a year. It slightly underestimates a 52-week year (2,080 hours).
How do I convert a salary back to an hourly rate?
Divide the annual salary by your yearly hours (hours per week × weeks per year). $52,000 over 2,080 hours is $25/hour. Switch this tool to 'Salary → hourly' mode to do it automatically.
Should I use 50 or 52 weeks per year?
Use 52 if you're paid for vacation (typical salaried jobs). Use fewer weeks if you're a contractor or hourly worker who doesn't get paid time off — that's what the 'paid weeks' field is for.
Are these figures before or after tax?
Before tax (gross). Take-home pay depends on your tax situation, so compare job offers on gross figures and estimate taxes separately.
