💵 Salary to Hourly Calculator
Convert any pay figure between annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly — set your hours per week and paid weeks per year and see the whole picture at a glance. It works both directions.
💵 Your pay, every way
Based on 40 hours a week over 52 paid weeks a year. Overtime, unpaid leave, and how your employer defines a working year will shift the real figures — treat these as estimates for planning, not financial advice.
Why convert your pay by the hour?
Seeing the same pay as a salary and as an hourly rate makes offers easy to compare — a $60,000 job and a $30-an-hour contract are much closer than they look once you account for hours and weeks. It also helps you price overtime, weigh a part-time schedule, or sanity-check whether a raise keeps up with the hours you put in.
Pair it with the Take-Home Pay Calculator to move from gross to net, and the Pay Raise Calculator to see what a bump is really worth per paycheck.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do you convert a salary to an hourly rate?
Divide the annual salary by the number of paid hours in a year: hourly = annual ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). At the common 40 hours a week over 52 weeks that is 2,080 hours, so a $52,000 salary works out to $25 an hour. Change the hours or weeks — part-time schedules, or a year with unpaid weeks — and the hourly figure moves with them.
How do you turn an hourly wage into an annual salary?
Multiply back up: annual = hourly × hours per week × weeks per year. So $25 an hour at 40 hours over 52 weeks is $52,000 a year. The calculator is bidirectional — enter a figure as hourly and it grosses up to annual, monthly, weekly, and daily using the same hours-and-weeks assumptions.
Should I use 52 weeks or fewer?
Use 52 if you are paid for all of them, including vacation. If you want the rate for weeks you actually work — for example an hourly contractor who isn't paid for two weeks off — enter the paid/working weeks instead (say 50). Fewer weeks raises the effective hourly figure because the same salary is spread over less time.
Is this the same as my take-home pay?
No — these are gross (before-tax) figures. Taxes, retirement contributions, and benefit deductions all reduce what actually lands in your account. For a net estimate, use the Take-Home Pay Calculator. Everything here is an estimate for planning, not tax, financial, or legal advice — consult a qualified professional for decisions about your pay.
