Hourly to Salary Calculator
Convert an hourly rate into an annual salary - and back. Enter your hourly pay, set your hours and weeks, and see the equivalent across every pay period: annual, monthly, semi-monthly, bi-weekly, weekly, and daily. All figures are gross, before taxes.
Hourly to salary: the formula
To turn an hourly rate into an annual salary, multiply the rate by the hours you work in a year. The US full-time baseline is 40 hours a week x 52 weeks = 2,080 hours, so the quick version is:
- Hourly to salary: annual salary = hourly rate x hours per year. $50 an hour x 2,080 hours = $104,000 a year.
- Salary to hourly: hourly rate = annual salary / hours per year. Need that direction instead? Use the salary to hourly calculator.
Common hourly rates as an annual salary
At the 2,080-hour full-time standard, here is what some common hourly rates work out to per year, month, and week (gross, before tax):
| Hourly rate | Annual salary | Per month | Per week (40 hrs) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $15.00/hr | $31,200.00 | $2,600.00 | $600.00 |
| $18.00/hr | $37,440.00 | $3,120.00 | $720.00 |
| $20.00/hr | $41,600.00 | $3,467.00 | $800.00 |
| $25.00/hr | $52,000.00 | $4,333.00 | $1,000.00 |
| $30.00/hr | $62,400.00 | $5,200.00 | $1,200.00 |
| $40.00/hr | $83,200.00 | $6,933.00 | $1,600.00 |
| $50.00/hr | $104,000.00 | $8,667.00 | $2,000.00 |
| $60.00/hr | $124,800.00 | $10,400.00 | $2,400.00 |

Part-time and variable schedules
The 2,080-hour figure assumes full-time, year-round work. If you work part-time or take unpaid weeks off, your annual salary is lower. Change the hours-per-week and weeks-per-year inputs to match your real schedule and every pay period updates instantly.
Why these are gross, pre-tax numbers
This calculator is pure arithmetic: it does not deduct federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare (FICA, 7.65% for employees), or state income tax. A $30-an-hour rate converts to $62,400 a year gross, but your actual take-home is lower once taxes come out. When you want the number that hits your bank account, use the Take-Home Pay Calculator, which applies the 2025 federal brackets, FICA, and your state rate.
Frequently asked questions
How do you convert an hourly rate to an annual salary? +
Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work in a year. The US full-time standard is 40 hours a week x 52 weeks = 2,080 hours. So $30 an hour is $30 x 2,080 = $62,400 a year. If you work fewer weeks or different hours, change the inputs and the salary updates.
What is $25 an hour annually? +
At the 2,080-hour full-time standard, $25 an hour is $52,000 a year before tax ($25 x 2,080). That is about $4,333 a month or $2,000 every two weeks. Your take-home pay is lower once federal income tax, FICA, and state tax come out.
Why 2,080 hours? +
2,080 is the conventional US figure for full-time work: 40 hours per week multiplied by 52 weeks per year. It does not subtract holidays or paid time off. If you are a contractor who takes unpaid weeks, lower the weeks-per-year input to get a more realistic annual figure.
How do I convert an hourly rate to salary for part-time work? +
Use your actual hours. If you work 25 hours a week for 50 weeks, that is 1,250 hours a year, so $30 an hour is $30 x 1,250 = $37,500. Set the hours-per-week and weeks-per-year inputs to match your real schedule and the calculator recomputes the salary.
Are these numbers before or after tax? +
Before tax. This is a pure gross conversion - it does not deduct federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, or state tax. Your take-home pay will be lower. Use the Take-Home Pay Calculator to see what actually lands in your bank account.
