Hourly to Salary Calculator
Use our hourly to salary calculator to convert an hourly wage into an annual salary based on hours per week and weeks per year. Includes how to calculate hourly to salary, how hourly and salaried gross pay are calculated, and a simple hourly to salary conversion chart.
Hourly vs Salary Pay
Hourly pay means you’re paid based on the number of hours you work. Salary pay usually means a fixed annual amount, regardless of weekly hour fluctuations (within your role’s expectations).
To convert hourly to salary, you multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week and the number of paid weeks per year.
This hourly to salary calculator is useful for job offers, budgeting, and comparing hourly roles to salaried positions.
Hourly to Salary Formula
Annual salary is calculated from hourly wage, weekly hours, and the number of paid weeks in a year.
Common defaults are 40 hours/week and 52 weeks/year, but adjust for unpaid time off.
Monthly pay can vary if you’re paid biweekly; this is an average monthly estimate.
Useful for paycheck-level comparisons.

Frequently Asked Questions
Annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year. For a typical full-time job: hourly rate × 40 × 52.
Hourly gross pay is hourly rate multiplied by hours worked. Salaried gross pay is the annual salary divided into pay periods (weekly, biweekly, semimonthly, or monthly).
A common full-time assumption is 2,080 hours per year (40 hours/week × 52 weeks).
No. It converts gross pay (before taxes). Take-home pay depends on taxes, benefits, and deductions.
Differences come from using different assumptions (37.5 vs 40 hours/week), unpaid time off, or counting paid holidays/PTO differently.
