How this conversion works

This calculator uses a simple, gross pay conversion — no unpaid time or expenses factored in. It's the quickest way to sanity-check what a salary works out to per hour, or what an hourly rate adds up to per year.

Hourly = Annual salary ÷ (Weekly hours × Working weeks/year) Annual = Hourly rate × Weekly hours × Working weeks/year

Want a more realistic number that accounts for commute time, unpaid breaks, and work costs? Try the Effective Hourly Rate Calculator.

Example

Salary → hourly: $52,000 a year, 40 hours a week, 52 weeks.

Hourly: 52,000 ÷ (40 × 52) = $25.00/hr
Weekly: $25.00 × 40 = $1,000 · Monthly: 52,000 ÷ 12 = $4,333

The weeks field matters: if the same $52,000 only covers 48 working weeks (4 unpaid), the rate is 52,000 ÷ (40 × 48) = $27.08/hr.

Hourly → salary: $30/hr × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $62,400 a year ($5,200 a month).

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert salary to hourly rate?

Divide your annual salary by the number of hours you work in a year (hours per week multiplied by the number of weeks you work per year). For a standard 40-hour week worked 52 weeks a year, divide your annual salary by 2,080.

What if I don't work 52 weeks a year?

Adjust the "working weeks per year" field. If you take unpaid time off, use fewer weeks; if your salary already covers paid vacation, most people still use 52.

Is this the same as my effective hourly rate?

No. This is a simple, gross conversion between salary and hourly pay. For a rate that also accounts for commute time, unpaid breaks, and work costs, use the Effective Hourly Rate Calculator.
