To convert a salary to an hourly rate, divide the annual salary by the number of hours you are paid for in a year. A full-time year is usually counted as 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, which is 2,080 hours, so $60,000 a year is $28.85 an hour. To go the other way, multiply the hourly rate by the same number of hours.
This calculator works in both directions and lets you change every assumption: hours per week, paid weeks per year and working days per week. It accepts a salary quoted per year, month, two weeks or week, and shows the equivalent pay for every period. Add your paid days off to see what you earn for each hour you actually work, which is the fairer figure when comparing a salaried job with hourly or freelance work.
All figures are gross pay, before tax and deductions, and the currency symbol is only a label: the arithmetic is the same in dollars, pounds, euros or rupees.
The formula
Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × paid weeks per year). Annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks per year.
A monthly salary is multiplied by 12 to get the annual figure; a weekly one by the paid weeks per year. Pay per hour worked = annual salary ÷ (paid hours − paid days off × hours per day), where hours per day is hours per week ÷ working days per week.
How to use the salary to hourly calculator
Choose salary to hourly or hourly to salary and pick a currency symbol.
Enter the salary and whether it is per year, month, two weeks or week, or enter the hourly rate.
Set your hours per week and paid weeks per year. Use 52 if you are paid all year, fewer for seasonal or term-time work.
Optionally enter paid days off (public holidays plus vacation) to see pay per hour actually worked.
Read the hourly, daily, weekly, two-weekly, monthly and yearly figures.
Tips for better results
- Quick check: at 2,080 hours a year, every $1 an hour is about $2,080 a year, and every $10,000 of salary is about $4.81 an hour.
- Comparing a job with contract work? Contractors cover their own tax, leave, equipment and unpaid time, so a like-for-like contract rate is well above the salary's hourly equivalent.
- Freelancers should not stop here. The hourly rate calculator builds in expenses, billable hours and profit.
- Unpaid time off reduces paid weeks. Enter 48 paid weeks, for example, if four weeks a year are unpaid.
- These are gross figures. Take-home pay depends on tax and deductions where you live.
Example
A real-world walkthrough
A marketing coordinator is offered $60,000 a year for a 40-hour week. With 52 paid weeks that is 2,080 paid hours, so the hourly equivalent is $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85. The calculator also shows $230.77 a day, $1,153.85 a week, $2,307.69 every two weeks and $5,000.00 a month.
The job comes with 20 paid days off, including public holidays. Those are 160 hours she is paid for but does not work, leaving 1,920 hours worked, so her pay per hour actually worked is $31.25. Going the other way, a part-time role paying $25 an hour for 40 hours a week all year is equivalent to a $52,000 salary.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert an annual salary to an hourly rate?
Divide the salary by the number of hours paid in a year. For a standard full-time job that is 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours. $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85 an hour; $50,000 ÷ 2,080 = $24.04; $75,000 ÷ 2,080 = $36.06. Change the hours per week in the calculator if your week is not 40 hours.
How do I convert an hourly rate to a yearly salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by hours per week and by paid weeks per year. $25 an hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000 a year. A fast approximation for full-time work is to double the hourly rate and add three zeros: $25 becomes about $50,000.
How many working hours are in a year?
At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks there are 2,080 paid hours. At 37.5 hours a week it is 1,950, and at 35 hours it is 1,820. The number of hours actually worked is lower once paid holidays and vacation are taken out; with 20 paid days off at 8 hours a day it is 1,920.
Does paid leave change my hourly rate?
It does not change the standard hourly equivalent, because you are paid for those days. It does raise what you earn per hour actually worked. On $60,000 with 20 paid days off, the standard rate is $28.85 but the rate per hour worked is $31.25. That second figure is the one to use when comparing with hourly work that has no paid leave.
Is the result before or after tax?
Before tax. The calculator converts gross pay between time periods and does not estimate income tax, social security or other deductions, which depend on your country and circumstances.
