Hourly to Salary Calculator

Convert an hourly wage into annual salary, monthly pay, biweekly pay, weekly pay, and daily pay.

This calculator shows gross pay before taxes, benefits, unpaid time off, and overtime.

Hourly to Salary Formula

annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year

Multiply the hourly wage by weekly hours and paid weeks per year. A standard full-time estimate often uses 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year.

Hourly Pay vs Salary Offer

When comparing hourly work with a salary offer, look beyond the annual gross number. A salaried role may include paid time off, benefits, bonuses, or retirement matching, but it may also involve unpaid extra hours if the role is exempt.

  • Compare gross annual pay first.
  • Then compare benefits, PTO, overtime eligibility, commute, schedule stability, and bonus potential.
  • If the salary role regularly requires more than 40 hours, convert salary back to an hourly equivalent before deciding.

What the Result Does Not Include

Salary comparisons should also consider overtime eligibility, bonuses, paid leave, health insurance, retirement matches, commuting costs, and tax withholding. Gross pay is only the first comparison point.

  • Use time-and-a-half for overtime estimates.
  • Use salary-to-hourly to compare a salary offer with hourly work.
  • Use actual paid weeks for seasonal work.
  • Use a paycheck calculator when you need after-tax take-home pay.
