💵 Salary ↔ Hourly Wage Converter
Convert between annual salary and hourly wage in either direction.
Use less than 52 if you take unpaid time off.
How This Conversion Works
This calculator uses your hours-per-week and weeks-per-year inputs to convert between pay periods: Annual ÷ Weeks per Year ÷ Hours per Week = Hourly Rate. It shows gross pay only — it does not account for taxes, benefits deductions, or overtime rules.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many work hours are in a year?
A standard full-time schedule of 40 hours per week for 52 weeks is 2,080 hours per year. If you take
unpaid time off, reduce the "weeks worked per year" input accordingly.
Does this calculator include overtime pay?
No. This tool converts your base rate between pay periods assuming the same number of hours each period —
it does not calculate overtime premiums (typically time-and-a-half for non-exempt employees working over
40 hours/week under the Fair Labor Standards Act).
Guide: understanding your result
- The standard full-time year is 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours.
- Hourly = annual salary ÷ 2,080; annual = hourly × 2,080.
- Paid time off is already inside a salary; for contract work you may need a higher hourly rate to cover unpaid time and benefits.
Worked example
A $60,000 salary is $28.85 an hour, $1,153.85 a week and $5,000 a month. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5× their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek.

Common mistakes to avoid
- Comparing a salary with an hourly contract rate without accounting for benefits and unpaid time.
- Using 4 weeks per month (48 weeks a year) instead of 52 ÷ 12 = 4.33.
