When to use this calculator

  • Converting an hourly job offer to an annual salary for comparison
  • Setting a freelance hourly rate based on a desired annual income target
  • Budgeting monthly expenses from an hourly wage
  • Comparing two job offers — one salaried, one hourly — to see which pays more
  • Accounting for unpaid time off by adjusting weeks per year

How the calculation works

The salary calculator uses straightforward multiplication. Weekly pay = hourly wage × hours per week. Annual salary = weekly pay × weeks per year. Monthly salary = annual salary ÷ 12. For example, $25/hour × 40 hours/week = $1,000/week. At 52 weeks, annual = $52,000. Monthly = $52,000 ÷ 12 ≈ $4,333. With 2 weeks of unpaid vacation (50 weeks), annual = $1,000 × 50 = $50,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

A standard full-time year is 2,080 hours: 40 hours per week times 52 weeks. Adjusting for vacation reduces this to about 2,000 hours.
How do I convert hourly to annual salary?
Multiply your hourly wage by the number of hours worked per week, then by 52 weeks. For example, $25/hr times 40 times 52 equals $52,000.
