Hourly to Salary Converter
Convert between an hourly wage and an annual salary. Set hours per week and weeks per year to get accurate yearly, monthly and weekly pay.
Compare offers on the same scale
An hourly rate and an annual salary are hard to compare in your head. This converter puts them on the same footing. It uses your real hours per week and weeks per year, so the result reflects how the role is actually worked, not a rough guess. That makes it useful for job offers, contractor rates and budgeting alike.
Hours and weeks change everything
The same hourly rate produces very different salaries depending on the schedule. Forty hours across fifty-two weeks is a full year, but a contractor taking unpaid time off works fewer weeks, which lowers the annual figure. Setting hours and weeks accurately is what separates a useful estimate from a misleading one.
How to use it
Choose your direction, hourly to salary or salary to hourly. Enter the rate or salary, the hours per week, and the working weeks per year. The tool shows the converted figure plus monthly and weekly pay. For overtime on top of base hours, see the Overtime Pay Calculator.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you convert hourly to salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by hours worked per week, then by weeks worked per year. The tool uses your own numbers for accuracy.
How many work weeks are in a year?
Fifty-two if no unpaid time is taken. Many people use fewer to account for unpaid leave, which lowers the annual figure.
Does this include tax?
No. It shows gross pay before tax. For take-home pay, use a paycheck estimator.
Is it free?
Yes, free and private.
