Salary to Hourly Calculator – Convert Annual Pay to Hourly

How to convert salary to hourly

Divide your annual salary by the number of hours you are paid for in a year. A full-time year is 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours, so:

Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ 2,080

For example, $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85 an hour. If you work 37.5 hours a week, use 1,950 hours instead ($30.77 an hour). Monthly pay works the same way: multiply by 12 for the year, then divide by your yearly hours. A $5,000 monthly salary is $60,000 a year, or $28.85 an hour at 40 hours a week.

How to convert hourly to annual

Multiply your hourly rate by your hours per week and by the weeks you are paid:

Annual pay = hourly rate × hours per week × 52

For example, $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 a year, or $4,333 a month and $1,000 a week. A quick shortcut for full-time work: double the hourly rate and add three zeros ($25 an hour is about $50,000), which is a little under the real figure because a year has 2,080 hours, not 2,000.

Adjusting for unpaid time off and part-time hours

If you are hourly and take unpaid weeks off, lower "Paid Weeks per Year": $25 an hour for 50 paid weeks is $50,000, not $52,000. For part-time work, enter your real weekly hours: $20 an hour at 25 hours a week is $26,000 a year.

Salaried workers are paid for holidays and vacation, so their yearly pay does not change, but they work fewer hours for it. Enter your paid holidays and vacation days and the calculator shows your rate per hour actually worked. With 10 holidays and 15 vacation days, a $60,000 salary is paid for 2,080 hours but worked for 1,880, which is $31.91 per hour actually worked instead of $28.85.

Salary vs hourly: which pays more?

The same yearly amount pays the same, but the two work differently:

• Overtime: most hourly workers must be paid 1.5 times their rate for hours over 40 a week. Many salaried workers are "exempt" and get no extra pay for long weeks. To be exempt under federal rules, a salaried employee must earn at least $684 a week ($35,568 a year) and do qualifying executive, administrative or professional work (U.S. Department of Labor); some states, such as California, New York and Washington, set a higher salary floor.
• Stability: a salary is paid even in slow weeks and usually includes paid holidays and vacation. Hourly pay rises and falls with your hours.
• Real hourly rate: a salaried job with 50-hour weeks pays less per hour than it looks. $60,000 for 50 hours a week is $23.08 an hour, not $28.85.

To compare an hourly offer with a salaried one, convert both to the same period here, then compare benefits such as health insurance, retirement match and paid time off.

Your hourly rate after taxes

Turn on after-tax to see what you keep. For a single filer on $60,000 a year ($28.85 an hour before tax) in 2026, the hourly rate after federal and state taxes, Social Security and Medicare is about:

These assume no 401(k), health premiums or other deductions. For a full paycheck with deductions, use the Salary & Paycheck Calculator or the Hourly Paycheck Calculator.

Methodology and last updated

The calculator turns the amount you enter into a yearly figure (hourly × hours × paid weeks, daily × days × paid weeks, weekly × paid weeks, biweekly × 26, semi-monthly × 24, monthly × 12), then divides it back into every period. Weekly, daily and hourly figures use your paid weeks; biweekly, semi-monthly and monthly figures spread the year over 26, 24 and 12 paychecks. After-tax figures use the 2025 and 2026 federal rules (Rev. Proc. 2025-32) and the same state rules as our state paycheck calculators, for a single job with no deductions. Results are estimates, not tax advice.
