Salary to Hourly Calculator
Convert an annual salary to an hourly rate — or an hourly wage to a yearly salary — using US full-time hours.
How to use it
Full-time work in the US is normally 40 hours a week × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours a year. So $25/hour equals $52,000 a year, and a $52,000 salary equals $25/hour. Enter your figure either way and get hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly and annual equivalents — overtime hours are paid at time-and-a-half, as US law requires for most hourly workers.
Comparing a salary offer with hourly work?
Remember that salaried roles usually include paid vacation, holidays, employer payroll taxes and benefits like health insurance and 401(k) match. Freelancers and contractors should typically charge 25–40% more per hour than the salaried equivalent to cover those gaps.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many work hours are in a year?
2,080 for a standard 40-hour week across 52 weeks. With 2 weeks of unpaid time off, it is 2,000 hours.
Is this gross or take-home pay?
Gross (before taxes). US federal, state and FICA taxes vary by person and place, so take-home pay will be lower.
