How to Convert Hourly Wages to Annual Salary
The standard formula is: Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours Per Week × Weeks Per Year. Most employers assume 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year, giving 2,080 working hours annually. So $25/hour × 2,080 = $52,000/year.
Keep in mind this is your gross (pre-tax) salary. Your actual take-home pay will be lower after federal income tax, state income tax, and FICA deductions. Use our take-home pay calculator to estimate your net paycheck.

| Hourly | Weekly | Bi-Weekly | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $15 | $600 | $1,200 | $2,600 | $31,200 |
| $20 | $800 | $1,600 | $3,467 | $41,600 |
| $25 | $1,000 | $2,000 | $4,333 | $52,000 |
| $30 | $1,200 | $2,400 | $5,200 | $62,400 |
| $40 | $1,600 | $3,200 | $6,933 | $83,200 |
| $50 | $2,000 | $4,000 | $8,667 | $104,000 |
| $75 | $3,000 | $6,000 | $13,000 | $156,000 |
| $100 | $4,000 | $8,000 | $17,333 | $208,000 |
These assume 40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year.
Part-Time and Non-Standard Schedules
The 40-hour week assumption doesn't fit everyone. A part-time worker at 20 hours/week earning $25/hour makes $26,000/year, not $52,000. Contract workers may work more than 52 weeks or take unpaid time off. Use the calculator above and adjust the hours and weeks fields to match your actual schedule.
When to use this
You're looking at a job posting that pays $28/hour and want to know the annual equivalent. Or you're comparing two offers — one salaried at $68,000 and one hourly at $34/hour — and need an apples-to-apples comparison. This calculator converts between hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, semi-monthly, monthly, and annual pay in both directions, so you can evaluate any compensation in the format that makes sense to you.
It's also useful for freelancers and contractors setting their rates. If you want to earn the equivalent of a $90,000 salary but you're only billing 48 weeks a year (accounting for vacation and holidays), your hourly rate needs to be higher than simply $90,000 / 2,080 hours. Adjusting the weeks-per-year and hours-per-week fields gives you the accurate number.
Part-time workers, people considering overtime, and anyone negotiating a raise benefit from seeing every time-period breakdown at once. A $2/hour raise doesn't sound life-changing, but it's $4,160/year at full-time — which might cover a car payment or fund an IRA contribution.
Good to know
The standard conversion: Annual = Hourly x Hours/Week x Weeks/Year. At 40 hours/week and 52 weeks/year, that's 2,080 hours. So $25/hour = $52,000/year. But if you take 2 weeks unpaid vacation, your actual annual earnings are $25 x 40 x 50 = $50,000. The calculator lets you adjust both variables for precision.
Salaried doesn't always mean more stable. Hourly workers get overtime (1.5x) for hours over 40/week under the FLSA. A salaried employee earning $60,000 who works 50 hours/week effectively earns $23.08/hour — less than someone making $25/hour with overtime. When comparing offers, calculate the effective hourly rate based on actual expected hours.
Total compensation is what matters. A job paying $65,000 with employer-paid health insurance ($7,000 value), 6% 401(k) match ($3,900), and 4 weeks PTO is worth roughly $80,000+ in total compensation. A competing offer at $75,000 with no benefits might actually be the worse deal. Always look beyond the base number.
Biweekly and semi-monthly are not the same. Biweekly means every two weeks (26 paychecks/year). Semi-monthly means twice a month, usually the 1st and 15th (24 paychecks/year). On a $60,000 salary, biweekly = $2,308/paycheck, semi-monthly = $2,500/paycheck. The annual total is the same, but the per-check amount differs.
