How to Convert Hourly Rate to Salary

Multiply your hourly rate by hours worked per week, then by weeks worked per year. For example, $25/hour × 40 hours/week × 52 weeks/year = $52,000/year. This calculator also shows intermediate values like daily, weekly, biweekly, and monthly pay for easy comparison.

Standard Working Hours

A standard full-time schedule is 40 hours per week for 52 weeks per year (2,080 hours total). If you take unpaid vacation, adjust the weeks per year accordingly. For example, 2 weeks unpaid = 50 weeks = 2,000 hours per year. The default values are set to the standard full-time schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply by the number of weeks you work per year. Formula: Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year. For example, $25/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000 per year.

Divide your annual salary by the total hours worked in a year. Formula: Hourly Rate = Annual Salary / (Hours per Week × Weeks per Year). For example, $52,000 / (40 × 52) = $25 per hour. This calculator supports both directions of conversion.

A standard full-time year has 52 weeks (2,080 hours at 40 hours/week). However, if you account for 2 weeks of unpaid vacation, it becomes 50 weeks (2,000 hours). Many employers use 2,080 hours for salaried positions. This calculator lets you set your own weeks per year.

Biweekly pay means you receive a paycheck every two weeks, resulting in 26 paychecks per year. This is different from semi-monthly pay (24 paychecks per year, paid on the 1st and 15th). Biweekly pay is the most common pay schedule in the United States.
