How it works
Formula:
Hourly Rate = Annual Salary ÷ (Hours Per Week × Weeks Per Year)
Example:
$52,000 ÷ (40 hours × 52 weeks) = $25/hour
Standard full-time assumption:
40 hours/week × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours/year
FAQ
What is the standard work year?
A standard full-time work year is 2,080 hours (40 hours/week × 52 weeks). This is the basis most employers use for salary-to-hourly conversions.
How do I account for unpaid time off?
Reduce the 'Weeks Per Year' field. For example, if you have 2 weeks unpaid vacation, use 50 weeks instead of 52. This will show a higher effective hourly rate.
Does this include taxes?
No, this calculates gross hourly rate (before taxes). Your actual take-home pay per hour will be lower after federal, state, and payroll taxes.
Why is knowing my hourly rate useful?
Knowing your hourly rate helps you: compare job offers fairly, evaluate freelance opportunities, calculate the true cost of unpaid overtime, and make better decisions about your time.
How do I factor in overtime?
If you regularly work overtime, increase the 'Hours Per Week' field. For example, if you work 50 hours but are paid for 40, enter 50 to see your actual hourly rate.
