Hourly to Salary Converter
Convert your hourly wage to annual, monthly, biweekly, and weekly salary equivalents.
How to Use This Converter
Toggle between "Annual Salary → Hourly" and "Hourly Wage → Annual" depending on what you know. Enter your hours per week and weeks per year to customize the calculation — the defaults (40 hrs/week, 52 weeks) represent a standard full-time schedule.
- Results show hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly, and annual breakdowns simultaneously.
- Adjust hours per week for part-time roles or variable schedules.
- Adjust weeks per year to exclude unpaid vacation time.
Examples
$75,000/year salary — what is the hourly rate?
$75,000 ÷ (40 hrs × 52 weeks) = $36.06/hr.
$25/hour full-time — what is the annual salary?
$25 × 40 hrs × 52 weeks = $52,000/year.
Part-time: $20/hr, 25 hrs/week, 48 weeks/year?
$20 × 25 × 48 = $24,000/year annual equivalent.
Comparing two offers: $80K salary vs $42/hr contract?
$42 × 40 × 52 = $87,360 — the hourly contract pays more annually.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this account for taxes?
No — this shows gross (before-tax) figures. Use our Salary Calculator for a net take-home pay estimate after federal, FICA, and state taxes.
How many weeks should I use for paid time off?
If you have 2 weeks PTO that is paid, keep 52 weeks. If you have 2 weeks unpaid, use 50 weeks to see your actual earned rate.
What is biweekly pay?
Biweekly = every two weeks = 26 pay periods per year. Annual salary ÷ 26 = one biweekly paycheck.
How do I compare a salary to a contractor hourly rate?
Enter the salary in the "Annual Salary → Hourly" mode. The hourly output is the equivalent rate. Compare that to the contract rate, keeping in mind contractors pay self-employment tax and get no benefits.
