How it is computed
How these numbers were worked out
Each figure above, worked out from $25.00 an hour, 40 hours a week and 52 weeks a year.
Weekly pay
- $25.00 an hour × 40 hours a week = $1,000.00 a week.
- Each extra hour a week adds $25.00 a week, or $1,300.00 over 52 weeks.
Source: Weekly pay = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week.
Annual salary
- $1,000.00 a week × 52 weeks a year = $52,000.00.
- That is 2,080 paid hours in the year.
Source: Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year.
Daily and monthly
- 40 hours ÷ 5 days = 8 hours a day, so $200.00 a day.
- $52,000.00 ÷ 12 = $4,333.33 a month.
Source: A 5-day week (7 days when weeks per year is above 52); monthly pay is annual ÷ 12.
Overview
How Hourly and Salary Compensation Compare
Hourly workers earn a set rate for every hour on the clock. Their annual income depends on two levers: hours per week and weeks per year. A small change in either one can swing yearly earnings by thousands. Salaried employees, on the other hand, receive a fixed annual amount split across pay periods regardless of daily fluctuations in hours.
Understanding the conversion between hourly and annual pay helps during salary negotiations, budgeting, or comparing job offers. Whether you're evaluating a freelance contract or a full-time role, this calculator makes it easy to see the full picture across every time period.
Formula
Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year
Hourly Rate = Annual Salary ÷ Weeks per Year ÷ Hours per Week
Common Hourly to Salary Conversions
Based on 40 hours/week and 52 weeks/year.
At those hours a year has 2,080 paid hours, so every $1 added to an hourly rate adds $2,080 to the annual salary.
To see how a rate compares with what people earn, our guide to average salaries in the United States lists the hourly minimum wage in every state, from the federal $7.25 to $17.50 in the District of Columbia. The California salary guide explains the state's multi-tier minimum wage.

Frequently Asked Questions
At $40 per hour, working 40 hours per week for 52 weeks, your annual salary would be $83,200 before taxes. If you take two weeks of unpaid leave, adjust weeks per year to 50 and your annual pay becomes $80,000.
A $52,000 annual salary divided by 52 weeks and then by 40 hours per week equals $25.00 per hour. This is a common benchmark because the math works out to a clean number.
Reduce the "Weeks per Year" field. For example, if you take 2 weeks of unpaid vacation, set it to 50 instead of 52. The calculator will adjust all figures accordingly.
No. This calculator shows gross (pre-tax) figures only. Your take-home pay will be lower after federal, state, and local income taxes, plus any deductions for benefits, retirement contributions, or other withholdings.
Hourly employees are paid for each hour worked and typically receive overtime for hours beyond 40 per week. Salaried employees receive a fixed amount per pay period regardless of hours worked, and are often exempt from overtime rules. Benefits, job security, and scheduling flexibility can also differ.
Simply change the "Hours per Week" field to match your part-time schedule. For example, if you work 20 hours per week, enter 20. The calculator will scale all breakdowns proportionally.
The standard work week in most countries is 5 days (Monday through Friday). The calculator divides weekly hours by 5 to estimate a daily rate. If you set weeks per year above 52 (indicating a 7-day schedule), it will divide by 7 instead.
