How it works
Behind the numbers
Most salary-to-hourly math divides by 2,080 (40 hours × 52 weeks). That is fine for full-time, year-round work, but it falls apart for part-time schedules or unpaid weeks off. This calculator starts from your real inputs, hours per week and weeks worked per year, and derives everything from there. Examples use USD, but the math works with any currency. Just enter your own numbers.
The formula: hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). From the hourly rate we build the full ladder of daily, weekly, biweekly, and monthly pay, so you can compare offers quoted in any format.
Use the comparison table to sanity-check common salaries at a glance, or plug in a job offer's numbers before you negotiate. If the offer includes a bonus, add it to the annual figure first: a $70,000 base with a 10% bonus is a $77,000 salary for hourly purposes.
FAQ
Questions, answered
How do you convert salary to hourly?
Divide your annual salary by total hours worked per year (hours per week × weeks per year). For example, $60,000 at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is $28.85 per hour. Reduce the weeks for unpaid time off to get your true rate.
Is the 2,080-hour rule accurate?
It is a decent shortcut for full-time, year-round work. But it overstates your hourly rate if you take unpaid vacation or work fewer than 40 hours a week. Enter your actual weeks and hours above for the real number.
How do I convert hourly pay back to an annual salary?
Multiply: hourly wage × hours per week × weeks per year. At $30 an hour, 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year, that is $62,400 per year.
Should bonuses and overtime count toward my salary?
Yes, if you want your true hourly value. Add expected bonus and overtime pay to the annual figure before dividing. If you are comparing base offers between companies, leave variable pay out and compare bases.
What is a good hourly rate?
It depends on your location, industry, and experience. A practical approach: find the median salary for your role from Bureau of Labor Statistics data, convert it here, and see where an offer lands relative to it.
