Hourly to Salary Calculator
Quickly convert your hourly wage to an equivalent annual salary. Enter your hourly rate, weekly hours, and weeks worked per year to see your income across all pay periods. Perfect for budgeting or comparing hourly work to salaried positions.
Converting an hourly wage to an annual salary is straightforward: multiply the hourly rate by hours worked per week, then by weeks worked per year. At $25 per hour working 40 hours per week for 52 weeks, the annual salary equivalent is $52,000.
If you do not receive paid vacation, adjust the weeks per year accordingly. Working 50 weeks (two weeks unpaid vacation) at $25/hour and 40 hours/week yields $50,000 annually -- a $2,000 difference from the 52-week calculation. This distinction matters when comparing hourly positions to salaried roles that include paid time off.
When evaluating whether an hourly or salaried position pays more, consider the full picture: salaried employees typically receive benefits (health insurance, retirement contributions, paid leave) worth 20-40% of base salary. An hourly worker earning $30/hour ($62,400/year) may actually earn less total compensation than a salaried employee at $55,000 with a strong benefits package.
