How to convert salary to hourly
Divide the annual salary by the number of hours worked in a year — hours per week times weeks per year:
Hourly = Annual salary ÷ (Hours per week × Weeks per year)
At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks (2,080 hours), a $60,000 salary is $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = about $28.85 per hour.
How to convert hourly to salary
Annual salary = Hourly × Hours per week × Weeks per year
A $30 hourly rate at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is $30 × 40 × 52 = $62,400 a year. Switch the mode above to convert this direction.
Gross vs. take-home
These are gross figures, before tax. Your take-home is lower after income tax, FICA, and deductions — estimate it with the paycheck calculator. If you're weighing a raise, the pay raise calculator helps too.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert salary to hourly pay?
Divide your annual salary by the number of hours you work in a year. At a standard 40 hours a week for 52 weeks (2,080 hours), a $60,000 salary works out to $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = about $28.85 per hour.
How do I convert hourly pay to an annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work each week, then by the number of weeks you work per year. A $30 hourly rate at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is $30 × 40 × 52 = $62,400 a year.
How many work hours are in a year?
A full-time schedule of 40 hours a week over 52 weeks is 2,080 hours. If you take two unpaid weeks off, use 50 weeks (2,000 hours). Adjust the weeks-per-year field to match your actual paid time.
Is this gross or net pay?
These figures are gross — before taxes and deductions. Your take-home pay will be lower once income tax, FICA, and any benefits come out. To estimate take-home, run the salary through a paycheck calculator.
Should I use 52 weeks or fewer?
Use 52 weeks if you are paid for vacation and holidays, which most salaried roles are. Use fewer weeks only if you take unpaid time off, since those weeks reduce both the hours you work and the pay you receive.
