What hourly rate is this salary — or the other way around?
US salaried talk uses 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours/year as the usual conversion. That ignores unpaid overtime, PTO, and “salaried exempt but still 50-hour weeks.” The number is a comparison tool, not your legal hourly status.
Worked example
- $62,400 ÷ 2,080 = $30/hour
- $18/hour × 2,080 = $37,440/year before taxes
- Overtime at 1.5× is on the time and a half page — salary conversion does not replace FLSA rules
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert salary to hourly wage?
Divide your annual salary by the number of hours you work per year (hours per week x 52 weeks). For example, a $50,000 salary at 40 hours/week is $50,000 / (40 x 52) = $50,000 / 2,080 = $24.04 per hour.
How do I convert hourly wage to annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by hours worked per week, then by 52 weeks. For example, $25/hour at 40 hours/week is $25 x 40 x 52 = $52,000 per year.
Why 52 weeks instead of accounting for vacation or holidays?
This calculator uses a standard 52-week year as the baseline, which is how most salary-to-hourly comparisons are typically framed. If you want to account for unpaid time off, subtract those weeks from 52 before calculating, or reduce your effective annual hours.
What's a typical full-time hours-per-week number?
40 hours per week is the most common full-time standard in the US, UK, and many other countries, though some roles or regions use 35, 37.5, or other standard workweek lengths.
Does this calculator account for overtime?
No, this tool assumes a flat rate across all hours entered. For overtime pay calculations at 1.5x rate, use the time and a half calculator.
Does this show gross or net pay?
This calculator shows gross pay (before taxes and deductions). Your actual take-home pay will be lower after income tax and other withholdings, which vary by country and individual circumstances.
How do I find my weekly and monthly pay from an annual salary?
Weekly pay = Annual Salary / 52. Monthly pay = Annual Salary / 12. This calculator shows both automatically alongside the hourly conversion.
