How it works
Behind the numbers
Most salary-to-hourly math divides by 2,080 (40 hours × 52 weeks) and calls it a day. That works on a napkin, but it ignores your actual life: part-time schedules and the unpaid weeks you really take off. This calculator starts from your real inputs — hours per week and weeks worked per year — and derives everything from there.
The core formula is simple: hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). From the hourly rate we build the full ladder — 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.
