Hourly to Salary Calculator
Convert an hourly wage into estimated weekly, biweekly, monthly, and annual pay using your own work-hour assumptions.
How to use the hourly to salary calculator
Enter your hourly rate, then review the default assumptions of 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year. Edit either assumption when your schedule differs. The calculator updates each pay estimate in your browser.
Hourly to salary formula
Annual salary = hourly rate x hours per week x weeks per year
Weekly pay is the hourly rate multiplied by hours per week. Biweekly pay doubles weekly pay. Monthly pay divides the annual estimate by 12.
How hours per week affect annual pay
More hours per week increase every estimate. For example, $25 per hour at 40 hours per week produces $1,000 in weekly pay before other adjustments.
How weeks per year affect salary estimates
Weeks per year is an explicit assumption. A value of 50 can represent unpaid time away from work, while 52 represents a full year of weekly estimates. The calculator does not assume paid time off.
Worked examples
At $25 per hour for 40 hours each week and 52 weeks per year, weekly pay is $1,000, biweekly pay is $2,000, monthly pay is about $4,333.33, and annual salary is $52,000.
At $18.50 per hour for 35 hours each week and 50 weeks per year, weekly pay is $647.50 and annual salary is $32,375. Monthly pay is about $2,697.92.
What this estimate includes
These are gross mathematical estimates. Taxes, deductions, unpaid time, overtime, bonuses, benefits, commissions, and other compensation are not included, so actual earnings may differ.
Frequently asked questions
Why are 40 hours and 52 weeks the defaults?
They are common starting assumptions for a simple estimate. Both values are editable and are not presented as requirements for every job.
Does this include overtime or paid time off?
No. This calculator applies the hourly rate to the hours and weeks you enter. Use the Overtime Pay Calculator for a separate overtime estimate.
Does this calculate take-home pay?
No. The results are gross estimates before taxes, deductions, benefits, and other payroll adjustments.
