How This Hourly to Salary Calculator Works

Choose a direction, enter your pay, hours and paid weeks, and the calculator shows your pay for each period. All figures are before tax.

Quick explanation: yearly pay = hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks.

  • Hours per week: your normal hours.
  • Paid weeks: use fewer than 52 if some time off is unpaid.
  • Direction: works from hourly pay or from salary.

How to Use the Hourly to Salary Calculator

  1. Choose whether you are converting hourly pay to salary, or salary to hourly pay.
  2. Enter your pay amount.
  3. Enter your usual hours per week.
  4. Enter your paid weeks per year. Use 52 if all time off is paid.
  5. Press Calculate to see hourly, daily, weekly, every-2-weeks, monthly and yearly pay.

Core Formulas

  • Yearly: hourly × hours × weeks
  • Hourly: yearly ÷ (hours × weeks)
  • Monthly: yearly ÷ 12
  • Weekly: hourly × hours

Worked Example

You earn a $65,000 salary and work 37.5 hours a week for 52 paid weeks.

  • Yearly hours = 37.5 × 52 = 1,950
  • Hourly = 65,000 ÷ 1,950 = $33.33
  • Monthly = 65,000 ÷ 12 = $5,416.67

Real-Life Examples

  • Comparing job offers: a $58,000 salary at 40 hours a week is about $27.88 an hour. An hourly job at $29 pays $60,320 a year at the same hours.
  • Part-time work: $18 an hour for 25 hours a week over 52 weeks is $23,400 a year, or $1,950 a month.
  • Unpaid time off: $22 an hour, 40 hours a week, but only 48 paid weeks is $42,240 a year, not $45,760.
  • Freelance day rates: $400 a day for an 8-hour day is $50 an hour. Over 5 days a week for 46 working weeks, that is $92,000 a year before tax and business costs.
  • Long hours on salary: a $75,000 salary at 50 hours a week works out to about $28.85 an hour, compared with $36.06 at 40 hours.

Hourly Pay vs Salary

  • Overtime: most hourly workers covered by US law earn time and a half after 40 hours a week. Many salaried workers are exempt.
  • Steady income: a salary usually pays the same each period. Hourly pay changes with your hours.
  • Benefits: salaried roles more often include paid leave and health cover, but this varies by employer.
  • Job security: hourly workers can see hours cut in quiet periods. A salary is usually steadier, though not guaranteed.
  • Compare fairly: convert both to the same period and include benefits, overtime and expected hours.

What This Leaves Out

  • Taxes: use our Paycheck Calculator for take-home pay.
  • Overtime: extra hours may be paid at a higher rate.
  • Benefits: health cover and retirement plans can differ between jobs.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Comparing before-tax and after-tax pay. Keep both figures before tax, or use our Paycheck Calculator.
  • Assuming 4 weeks in a month. A month is about 4.33 weeks, so monthly pay is yearly pay ÷ 12.
  • Forgetting unpaid time off. Lower the paid weeks if some holidays are unpaid.
  • Ignoring overtime. Overtime at time and a half is not included here.
  • Leaving out benefits. A lower salary with strong benefits may be worth more.
