Hourly to Salary Calculator

Convert hourly wage to annual salary equivalent. Adjust hours and weeks to match your schedule for accurate yearly income estimates.

When evaluating job opportunities or planning a budget, knowing the annual salary equivalent of an hourly wage provides a clearer picture of total yearly earnings. Many workers are paid hourly but need to understand their annualized income for tax planning, loan applications, or comparing offers with salaried positions. This calculator multiplies your hourly rate by the total number of work hours in a year, derived from your weekly hours and weeks worked. The default assumption is 40 hours per week for 52 weeks, totaling 2,080 hours per year. You can adjust these to reflect your actual schedule, including part-time arrangements or time off without pay. Results are illustrative estimates for comparison and planning purposes only.

FAQ

How is the annual salary calculated?

Hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year. At $25/hour, 40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year, the result is $52,000.

Does this include overtime?

No. This calculator assumes consistent weekly hours without overtime premiums or variable scheduling.

What if I have unpaid time off?

Reduce the weeks per year to reflect only the weeks you are paid. For example, 2 weeks unpaid leave means entering 50 weeks.

Is this before or after taxes?

This is a gross (before tax) estimate. Use the Take-Home Pay Calculator to estimate net income after taxes.
