How do I convert hourly pay to an annual salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply by 52 weeks. For example, $25/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000/year.

How many work hours are there in a year?

A standard full-time schedule (40 hours per week, 52 weeks) is 2,080 hours per year. Part-time and irregular schedules differ.

How do I convert a monthly salary to an hourly rate?

Multiply the monthly salary by 12 to get the annual salary, then divide by the number of working hours per year. For a 40-hour week, that is 2,080 hours.

Does the calculator account for taxes?

No. It converts gross pay only. Taxes and deductions depend on your country, region, and personal situation. Use a separate take-home calculator for net pay.

Should I use 52 weeks or 50 weeks?

Use 52 for gross pay, since most salaries are quoted on that basis. Some people use 50 to account for unpaid vacation, but that understates annual pay for salaried positions. For hourly workers without paid time off, 50 weeks may be more realistic.

How do I compare a contract rate to a salaried position?

Convert the contract rate to an annual figure, then subtract what the employer would have paid in benefits, payroll taxes, insurance, and paid leave (often 20–30% of salary). A $60/hour contract is roughly equivalent to a $90,000–100,000 salaried role in the US.
