Hourly to Salary Calculator
Convert an hourly wage to a yearly salary, plus monthly, biweekly, weekly and daily gross pay, using your real hours and paid weeks per year.
Turning an hourly wage into a yearly salary makes job offers, raises and budgets easy to compare. This calculator multiplies your hourly rate by the hours you work each week and the weeks you are paid each year, then breaks the result down into monthly, biweekly, weekly and daily gross pay. It works for full-time, part-time and seasonal work.
How to use this tool
- Enter your hourly pay rate.
- Enter the hours you work in a typical week.
- Enter your paid weeks per year: 52 if holidays and vacation are paid, fewer if you take unpaid time off.
- Enter how many days a week you work to get the daily figure.
Formula
Annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks per year
Monthly pay = annual salary ÷ 12 and semi-monthly pay = annual salary ÷ 24. Weekly and biweekly pay are the rate × hours for one or two working weeks. All figures are gross — before tax and other deductions.
Example
At $25 an hour, 40 hours a week and 52 paid weeks, you work 2,080 hours a year, so your salary is $52,000. That is $4,333.33 in an average month, $2,000 every two weeks, $1,000 a week and $200 a day over a five-day week. Take two unpaid weeks off and the yearly figure drops to $50,000.
Frequently asked questions
How much is $20 an hour a year?
Full time at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is 2,080 hours, so $20 an hour is $41,600 a year before tax. A quick mental shortcut is to double the hourly rate and add three zeros, which gives about $40,000.
Why do some employers divide by 2,087 hours?
The US federal government computes hourly rates by dividing annual pay by 2,087 hours, the average number of paid work hours in a year once leap years and how the calendar falls are averaged out. A 40-hour schedule over 52 paid weeks totals 2,080 hours.
Does this include overtime?
No. Hours over 40 in a workweek are usually paid at 1.5 times your regular rate. Use the overtime pay calculator for weeks with extra hours.
Is this my take-home pay?
No, these are gross amounts. Federal and state income tax, Social Security, Medicare and benefit deductions all come out before your paycheck.
