Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × paid weeks per year); a standard 40-hour week over 52 paid weeks is 2,080 hours. Overtime pay = hourly rate × overtime multiplier (1.5x is the standard time-and-a-half) × overtime hours. Results are estimates for planning, not professional advice.
Every salary conversion starts from one division: hourly wage = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × paid weeks per year). A standard full-time schedule is 40 hours per week × 52 weeks = 2,080 paid hours per year, so the quick conversion is annual salary ÷ 2080.
Worked example: a $60,000 annual salary at 40 hours and 52 weeks gives $60,000 ÷ 2080 = $28.85 per hour (in plain figures: 60000 ÷ 2080 = 28.85). Monthly pay is the annual figure ÷ 12 ($5,000.00), biweekly is ÷ 26 ($2,307.69), and weekly is ÷ 52 ($1,153.85). A $100,000 salary at the same schedule is $48.08 per hour (100000 ÷ 2080 = 48.08).
The reverse conversion is just as simple: annual salary = hourly wage × hours per week × weeks per year. At $30 an hour, 40 hours × 52 weeks gives $30 × 2080 = $62,400 annually. Adjust either factor for part-time or seasonal work, and remember these are gross (before-tax) figures.
Enter your annual salary, the hours you work each week, and your paid weeks per year, the default is 40 hours and 52 weeks, the standard 2,080-hour full-time year. If you regularly work overtime, add your overtime hours per week and the overtime multiplier (1.5x is the standard time-and-a-half).
The calculator instantly shows your hourly wage, weekly, biweekly and monthly pay, your overtime pay for the week, and your total weekly pay including overtime. Choose your currency from the 25 supported options to see the figures in your own money.
Reduce the paid weeks below 52 if you take unpaid time off, because an hourly worker who is not paid while away genuinely earns less over the year than the 2,080-hour benchmark suggests.
These quick-reference figures use 40 hours per week and 52 paid weeks (2,080 hours), rounded the way the calculator rounds them:
| Annual salary | Hourly | Weekly | Biweekly | Monthly | |---|---|---|---|---| | $40,000 | $19.23 | $769.23 | $1,538.46 | $3,333.33 | | $50,000 | $24.04 | $961.54 | $1,923.08 | $4,166.67 | | $60,000 | $28.85 | $1,153.85 | $2,307.69 | $5,000.00 | | $75,000 | $36.06 | $1,442.31 | $2,884.62 | $6,250.00 | | $100,000 | $48.08 | $1,923.08 | $3,846.15 | $8,333.33 | | $150,000 | $72.12 | $2,884.62 | $5,769.23 | $12,500.00 |
Non-standard weeks move these numbers: at 37.5 hours a week (1,950 paid hours), a $60,000 salary is worth $30.77 an hour, while a 45-hour salaried week (2,340 hours) drops the same salary to $25.64 an hour.
Overtime pay = regular hourly rate × overtime multiplier × overtime hours worked. The most common standard is time-and-a-half (1.5x) for hours beyond 40 per week, a rule set by the US Fair Labor Standards Act for non-exempt employees, and mirrored as standard practice in many countries.
Worked example: your regular rate is $28.85 per hour (a $60,000 salary) and you work 10 overtime hours in a week. Overtime pay = 10 × $28.85 × 1.5 = $432.69 for the week, lifting total weekly pay from $1,153.85 to $1,586.54.
Be careful when comparing offers: many salaried positions are classified as exempt and receive no extra overtime pay at all, while hourly roles generally pay for every extra hour. A conversion that ignores overtime can make an exempt salary look better than it is.
Paid PTO is different from unpaid leave: two weeks of paid vacation on a $60,000 salary still pays $60,000. But the hours you are physically at work drop to 2,000, so the effective hourly rate rises to $60,000 ÷ 2,000 = $30.00 per hour, while the standard 2,080-hour equivalent stays $28.85. That is not a raise; it is the same pay for fewer hours at the desk.
Unpaid leave works the other way. Two unpaid weeks at a $25 hourly rate removes $25 × 80 = $2,000 from the year, so real annual earnings are $52,000 − $2,000 = $50,000, the 2,080-hour multiplication alone would overstate actual take-home pay. Set the weeks-per-year input to your real paid weeks and the calculator handles this for you.
When comparing a salaried role with generous PTO against an hourly role with no paid time off, always divide the salary by hours actually worked, and add the value of benefits such as health cover and retirement matching, which sit outside this math but belong in the comparison.
Everything on this page is gross pay, the amount before income tax, social security, pension contributions, health insurance premiums and other deductions. Net (take-home) pay is what lands in your bank account, and it is typically 65–80% of gross depending on your country, tax bracket and deductions.
So a $60,000 salary converting to $28.85 an hour gross does not mean $28.85 an hour in your pocket. Before comparing two offers on their hourly equivalents, run both through a paycheck or tax calculator for your location to see the net figures, two offers with identical gross can differ meaningfully after tax if one is in a higher-tax jurisdiction.
A salary can look larger while producing a lower effective hourly rate when the role consistently demands long weeks. A $70,000 job at 45 hours a week is $70,000 ÷ 2,340 = $29.91 per hour, while a $65,000 job at 40 hours is $65,000 ÷ 2,080 = $31.25 per hour, the smaller salary is worth more per hour of your week.
Checklist for a fair comparison: (1) convert both offers to an effective hourly rate using realistic weekly hours, (2) confirm whether the salaried role is overtime-exempt or not, (3) value benefits, health insurance, retirement matching, paid leave, since salaried roles often carry richer packages, and (4) compare net, not gross, pay.
Common mistakes to avoid: dividing the salary by 40 (that gives weekly pay, not hourly), treating a month as four weeks (monthly gross is annual ÷ 12, which averages 4.33 weeks), and mixing up biweekly pay (annual ÷ 26) with semimonthly pay (annual ÷ 24).
Divide your annual salary by the number of hours you work in a year: hours per week × paid weeks per year. The standard full-time shortcut is annual salary ÷ 2,080. For example, $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85 per hour.
$28.85 per hour at a standard 40 hours per week and 52 paid weeks (2,080 hours). If you work fewer paid hours, for example a 37.5-hour week, which is 1,950 hours a year, the same $60,000 is worth $30.77 per hour.
$48.08 per hour at 40 hours a week over 52 paid weeks ($100,000 ÷ 2,080). It is $51.28 per hour at a 37.5-hour week, because the same salary is spread over fewer paid hours.
A standard full-time year is 2,080 hours: 40 hours per week × 52 weeks. Your own year is whatever you actually work, hours per week multiplied by paid weeks. A 37.5-hour week gives 1,950 hours; a 45-hour salaried week gives 2,340.
Use 2,080 for the gross, standard conversion (40 × 52 = the full year with no unpaid time off). Some people use 2,000 to approximate two weeks of unpaid leave. If you have paid vacation, the salary stays the same, only the hours you are physically at work change.
Multiply your hourly wage by hours worked per week, then by paid weeks per year: annual = hourly × hours/week × weeks/year. At 40 hours and 52 weeks, $30 an hour equals $30 × 2,080 = $62,400 per year.
No. Biweekly is every two weeks, or 26 paychecks a year (annual ÷ 26). Semimonthly is twice a month, or 24 paychecks (annual ÷ 24). On a $60,000 salary, biweekly pay is $2,307.69 while semimonthly pay is $2,500.00.
It can raise what you earn per hour actually worked, while the standard 2,080-hour conversion stays the same. Two weeks of paid vacation on a $60,000 salary means 2,000 hours actually worked, so the effective rate is $60,000 ÷ 2,000 = $30.00 per hour, even though the standard rate is $28.85.
Gross, the amount before income tax, social security, pension contributions and other deductions. Your take-home (net) pay will be lower; it is typically 65–80% of gross depending on your country, tax bracket and deductions.
Overtime pay = regular hourly rate × overtime multiplier × overtime hours. The common standard is time-and-a-half (1.5x) for hours beyond 40 per week. For example, $25 per hour with 10 overtime hours pays 10 × $25 × 1.5 = $375 in overtime for the week.
