How to convert hourly pay to an annual salary
To convert an hourly wage to a salary, multiply the hourly rate by the hours you work per week, then by 52 weeks. For a standard full-time job of 40 hours a week, that is hourly rate × 2,080. So $30 an hour is $62,400 a year, $5,200 a month and $2,400 every two weeks. To go the other way, divide the annual salary by 2,080: $60,000 a year is $28.85 an hour.
A quick mental shortcut: double the hourly rate and add three zeros. $25 an hour becomes roughly $50,000 a year. It slightly underestimates (the exact figure is $52,000) because a year has 2,080 work hours, not 2,000, but it is close enough for a first look at a job ad. For anything you will budget or negotiate with, use the exact converter above.

How to use this hourly to salary converter
- Pick a direction. Choose “Hourly → Salary” to turn a wage into yearly pay, or “Salary → Hourly” to find the hourly rate behind a salary. The round swap button in the results does the same thing.
- Enter your schedule. Hours per week, days per week and paid weeks per year. Keep 52 paid weeks if your vacation and holidays are paid; lower it for unpaid time off.
- Add overtime. For hourly jobs, enter weekly overtime hours and the rate: time and a half, double time or straight time.
- Estimate take-home. Enter a combined tax rate to see after-tax pay next to gross pay at every interval.
- Find your true hourly rate. Add your round-trip commute and any unpaid work hours to see what you really earn per hour of your time.
- Compare and plan. Test a salary offer against your hourly job, see what a raise is worth and how many work hours everyday purchases cost.
Hourly to salary and salary to hourly formulas
Annual salary hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks
With overtime (rate × regular hours + rate × 1.5 × OT hours) × weeks
Hourly rate annual salary ÷ (hours per week × paid weeks)
Monthly annual ÷ 12 Biweekly annual ÷ 26 Semi-monthly annual ÷ 24 Weekly annual ÷ 52
True hourly annual ÷ (paid + unpaid + commute hours per year)
Monthly is not four weeks. A month averages 4.33 weeks (52 ÷ 12). Multiplying weekly pay by 4 undercounts a year by a full month of pay; always go through the annual figure, as this converter does.

How many working hours are in a year?
The payroll standard is 2,080 hours: 40 hours × 52 weeks. It is the number employers and HR systems use to turn salaries into hourly rates, and it already includes paid holidays and paid vacation, because you are paid for those hours even though you do not work them.
The calendar adds a small wrinkle. 2026 has 261 weekdays, so a 40-hour schedule actually covers 2,088 hours; some years have 262. Salaried pay does not change with that, but hourly workers who are paid for every weekday earn slightly more in those years. If you subtract the 11 federal holidays, the hours actually worked in 2026 come to about 2,000, which is why “double it and add three zeros” works as a rough shortcut.
Part-time hourly to salary
Part-time pay scales with your hours. At $20 an hour, over 52 weeks:
| Hours per week | Annual pay | Monthly | Weekly |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 hours | $20,800 | $1,733 | $400 |
| 25 hours | $26,000 | $2,167 | $500 |
| 30 hours | $31,200 | $2,600 | $600 |
| 32 hours | $33,280 | $2,773 | $640 |
| 35 hours | $36,400 | $3,033 | $700 |
| 40 hours | $41,600 | $3,467 | $800 |
How overtime changes your annual pay
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees must be paid at least 1.5 times their regular rate for every hour over 40 in a workweek. Some states, like California, also require daily overtime. Regular overtime moves annual pay a lot. At $30 an hour:
| Overtime per week | Weekly pay | Annual pay | Average per hour worked |
|---|---|---|---|
| None (40 hrs) | $1,200 | $62,400 | $30.00 |
| 5 hours | $1,425 | $74,100 | $31.67 |
| 10 hours | $1,650 | $85,800 | $33.00 |
| 15 hours | $1,875 | $97,500 | $34.09 |
Overtime is rarely guaranteed, so budget on your regular hours and treat overtime pay as a bonus for savings or debt payoff.
Gross pay vs take-home pay
Everything in the conversion tables is gross pay, before taxes. What lands in your bank account is lower after federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare (7.65% combined for employees), state and local tax, and any health insurance or retirement deductions. For many full-time workers, the combined bite is roughly 18% to 28%.
At the default 20% estimate, $62,400 a year becomes about $49,920 take-home, or $4,160 a month and $1,920 every two weeks. Your pay stub is the best source for your real rate. Once you know your take-home, the 50 30 20 calculator splits it into needs, wants and savings.
Hourly vs salaried jobs: which pays more?
A salary looks bigger on paper, but the hours behind it matter. A $70,000 salary that routinely needs 45 hours a week works out to $29.91 an hour, slightly less than a $30 hourly job at 40 hours. The salaried job still pays $7,600 more a year in total, so the right choice depends on whether you value the money or the five hours.
| Hourly (non-exempt) | Salaried (exempt) | |
|---|---|---|
| Overtime | Paid at 1.5× after 40 hours | Usually unpaid |
| Paycheck size | Varies with hours worked | Fixed and predictable |
| Benefits | Often fewer, especially part-time | Usually health, retirement, paid leave |
| Flexibility | Clear start and stop times | Results-based, can spill over |
| Best when | Overtime is common and paid | Hours are steady and benefits are strong |
Not every salaried worker is exempt from overtime. Under federal rules, an employee generally must earn at least $684 a week ($35,568 a year) and perform executive, administrative or professional duties to be exempt. In 2026 the Department of Labor formally rescinded the 2024 rule that would have raised that threshold, so the $684 level remains the federal standard; some states set higher thresholds.
How your hourly wage compares in the U.S.
- Federal minimum wage: $7.25 an hour, unchanged since July 2009, or $15,080 a year full time. Many states and cities set higher minimums.
- Average wage across all occupations: $33.54 an hour, or $69,770 a year, in the BLS Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics for May 2025.
- Average hourly earnings, private employers: $37.81 in September 2026, from the monthly BLS jobs report.
Averages are pulled up by high earners, so the typical (median) worker earns less than these figures. Use them as rough reference points, and check wages for your specific occupation and city before negotiating. Wages also need to keep pace with prices; the inflation calculator shows whether a raise actually increased your purchasing power.
Worked example: $30 an hour
- $30 × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $62,400 a year.
- That is $5,200 a month, $2,600 twice a month, $2,400 every two weeks, $1,200 a week and $240 a day.
- At an estimated 20% tax rate, take-home pay is about $49,920 a year, $4,160 a month or $24.00 per hour.
- Five hours of weekly overtime at time and a half raises annual pay to $74,100.
- $30 is about 89% of the U.S. average wage of $33.54 an hour, and more than four times the federal minimum wage.
- A $70,000 salaried offer at 45 hours a week pays $29.91 per hour worked: more money per year, slightly less per hour.

Hourly is better when overtime is common, since every extra hour is paid. Salary is better when hours are steady and the package includes strong benefits. Compare the pay per hour actually worked, as the calculator does.
Gross conversions are exact for the hours and weeks you enter. Take-home pay uses the tax rate you provide, so it is an estimate; your pay stub shows your actual deductions.
