Hourly to Salary Calculator
Convert an hourly wage into yearly, monthly, biweekly, and weekly pay — or flip it and turn any salary into an hourly rate.
All amounts are gross (before taxes and deductions). Monthly = annual ÷ 12; biweekly = annual ÷ 26.
Comparing a job offer quoted per hour against one quoted per year? This calculator converts between hourly pay and salary in both directions using your actual schedule — not just the standard 40-hour week. All figures are gross pay; pair it with the time card calculator to total your real weekly hours first.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is hourly pay converted to an annual salary?+
Annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year. The standard assumption is 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, so $20/hour ≈ $41,600 a year. Adjust either number to match your real schedule.
How do I convert a salary back to an hourly rate?+
Switch to "Salary → Hourly" mode. Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). A $60,000 salary at 40 hours/week over 52 weeks works out to about $28.85 an hour.
Does the calculator account for taxes?+
No — all amounts are gross (before tax). Take-home pay depends on your federal, state, and local tax situation, which varies by person and location.
What if I take unpaid vacation?+
Lower the weeks-per-year value. If you take two unpaid weeks, use 50 instead of 52 and the annual figure adjusts automatically.
What is a biweekly paycheck?+
Biweekly means you are paid every two weeks — 26 paychecks a year. It is the most common US pay schedule, and the calculator shows the exact gross amount per check.
