Hourly to Salary Calculator — Convert Your Wage
How to Use This Hourly to Salary Calculator
This calculator converts an hourly wage into equivalent annual, monthly, and weekly salary figures, letting hourly workers compare job offers stated in different pay formats.
How It’s Calculated
Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year
The standard assumption is 40 hours per week × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours per year, adjustable for part-time schedules or unpaid time off.
Example
$28 per hour at 40 hours per week comes out to roughly $58,240 per year before tax — but only $53,760 per year if two unpaid weeks of leave are factored in.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many working hours are in a year?
The standard full-time baseline is 2,080 hours (40 hours × 52 weeks), though actual paid hours are often lower once unpaid holidays or leave are subtracted.
Does this account for overtime?
No — the base conversion assumes straight-time hours only. Overtime pay, often 1.5× the rate, should be added separately based on actual hours worked over 40 per week.
Is hourly or salaried pay better?
It depends on the role — hourly pay guarantees compensation for every hour worked including overtime, while salaried pay offers predictable income regardless of hours but no extra pay for overtime.
