Hourly to Salary Converter

Turn an hourly wage into an approximate annual salary. Enter your hourly rate and the number of hours you work per week (default 40 for full-time). The result is rate × hours per week × 52 weeks. Use it to compare an hourly job to a salaried offer or to budget annually.

How it works

Annual salary (gross) = Hourly rate × Hours per week × 52. No deduction for vacation or holidays—this is raw pay. Example: $25/hour at 40 hours/week = $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 per year. For part-time, reduce hours per week (e.g. 20 hours → $26,000).

When to use it

Use it when comparing job offers (hourly vs salary), or when you’re paid hourly and want a quick annual equivalent for loans or budgeting. For take-home, combine with a tax or salary calculator.

Frequently asked questions

  • What hours per year are used? Annual salary = Hourly rate × Hours per week × 52. So 40 hours/week × 52 = 2,080 hours per year. Change hours per week for part-time.
  • Should I include overtime? This tool uses straight time only. For overtime, use our Overtime Pay Calculator or add overtime separately.
