These figures are gross — before tax. They show your pay before federal, state, and Social Security / Medicare withholding. To estimate your take-home pay after taxes, use the Paycheck Calculator and pick your state.
How to use the salary to hourly calculator
Choose a direction from the menu, type your salary or hourly rate, and the answer appears instantly — there's no button to press and nothing is sent anywhere.
Hours per week. Full-time is usually 40 hours. Lower it for part-time or a shorter week to see how the hourly rate changes.
Unpaid vacation. If you take unpaid time off, enter the number of weeks. The calculator subtracts them from the 52-week year, so your true hourly rate goes up to reflect fewer paid weeks.
Everything runs in your browser — the numbers you type are never uploaded.
Salary and hourly pay questions
How do I convert my salary to an hourly wage? Divide your annual salary by the hours you work in a year. At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks that's 2,080 hours, so a $52,000 salary works out to $25.00 an hour.
How do I convert an hourly wage to a salary? Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work each week and the weeks you work each year. $20 an hour at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is $41,600 a year.
How is the monthly figure worked out? The monthly amount is your annual salary divided by 12, so every month is equal. Biweekly is two weeks of pay, and most years have 26 biweekly pay periods.
Is this my take-home pay? No — these are gross figures before any tax. Your actual paycheck will be lower. Use the Paycheck Calculator for an after-tax estimate.
What is a $50,000 salary per hour? At a standard 40-hour week and 52 weeks a year (2,080 hours), $50,000 a year is about $24.04 an hour. The same math works for any figure: divide the annual salary by 2,080 for a full-time hourly rate. Enter your own number above to see the exact amount along with weekly and monthly pay.
How many work hours are in a year? Full-time is usually counted as 2,080 hours — 40 hours a week times 52 weeks. If you take unpaid weeks off, your paid hours drop below that, which is why the calculator lets you enter unpaid vacation: fewer paid weeks means a higher effective hourly rate for the same salary.
Why is hourly-to-salary higher than I expected? The straight conversion assumes you're paid for all 52 weeks. In reality, hourly workers often aren't paid for holidays or sick days, and hours can vary week to week. So the salary figure shown is the maximum if you worked every scheduled hour, not a guaranteed yearly total.
