Hourly to Salary Calculator
Switch between an hourly wage and yearly salary instantly — see the weekly, monthly, and annual breakdown side by side.
Assumes 52 paid weeks a year — this is a gross (pre-tax) estimate, not your take-home pay.
How This Is Calculated
The math is simple multiplication, but the assumption underneath it matters: this calculator assumes 52 paid weeks a year at your stated hours. If you take unpaid time off, work seasonally, or get fewer paid weeks, your real annual total will be lower than the estimate shown here.
Going the other direction — annual to hourly — the calculator divides your salary by 2,080 hours (40 hours × 52 weeks), the standard full-time baseline used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics and most payroll systems. If you work more or fewer hours than that, adjust the “Hours per Week” field to get an accurate rate.
One more thing worth knowing: every number above is gross pay, before taxes, insurance, or retirement contributions come out. Your actual paycheck — what lands in your bank account — will be meaningfully lower. Think of this tool as answering “what does this job pay on paper,” not “what will I actually take home.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this my take-home pay?
No — this is your gross pay before federal and state taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and any benefits deductions. Take-home pay is typically 70–80% of gross, depending on your state and filing status.
What if I don’t work exactly 52 weeks a year?
Adjust the math manually: multiply your hourly rate by your actual hours worked, rather than assuming a full 52-week year. Seasonal, part-year, and contract workers should use their real expected work weeks instead.
Does overtime change this calculation?
This calculator assumes straight-time pay only. If you regularly work overtime at 1.5x or 2x your rate, your real annual earnings will be higher than what’s shown here.
How many work hours are in a year?
A standard full-time year is 2,080 hours — 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. This is the figure most employers and payroll systems use as the baseline for salary-to-hourly conversions.
