Salary to Hourly Calculator

Convert your annual salary to an hourly rate, or see what your hourly wage equals annually.

How it works

The calculation is straightforward:

  • Hourly Rate = Annual Salary ÷ (Hours/Week × Weeks/Year)
  • Daily Rate = Hourly Rate × (Hours/Week ÷ 5)
  • Weekly Rate = Annual Salary ÷ Weeks/Year
  • Monthly Rate = Annual Salary ÷ 12

Example

With a $50,000 annual salary working 40 hours/week for 52 weeks:

FAQ

How is hourly rate calculated?
Hourly rate = Annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). For a standard 40-hour week over 52 weeks, that's 2,080 hours per year.
Should I include vacation time?
This calculator assumes 52 working weeks. If you want to account for vacation, reduce the weeks (e.g., 50 weeks for 2 weeks vacation). Your effective hourly rate will be higher.
What about overtime and benefits?
This calculator shows base pay only. Total compensation includes benefits (health insurance, retirement), bonuses, and overtime pay which can add 20-40% to base salary.
