Assuming all weeks are paid
If time off is unpaid, reduce the weeks-per-year input. The 2,080-hour shortcut assumes all 52 weeks are paid.
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.
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:
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 |
| $75.00/hr | $156,000.00 | $13,000.00 | $3,000.00 |
| $100.00/hr | $208,000.00 | $17,333.00 | $4,000.00 |
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.
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 2026 federal brackets, FICA, and your state rate.
This example uses the common full-time baseline so you can compare it with the table above.
The annualized number is gross pay. Use take-home pay tools when you need the amount that reaches your bank account.
The same hourly rate can produce very different annual pay when hours or paid weeks change.
| Compare | Annualized pay | Planning note |
|---|---|---|
| 40 hrs/week, 52 weeks | 2,080 paid hours | Standard full-time baseline. |
| 30 hrs/week, 50 weeks | 1,500 paid hours | Part-time schedule with two unpaid weeks. |
| 40 hrs/week, 48 weeks | 1,920 paid hours | Useful when four weeks are unpaid or unpaid between contracts. |
| Variable weekly hours | Average hours x paid weeks | Estimate conservatively if hours change by season. |
If time off is unpaid, reduce the weeks-per-year input. The 2,080-hour shortcut assumes all 52 weeks are paid.
Overtime, shift differentials, and local labor rules can change real annual pay beyond straight hourly math.
An hourly job with strong benefits may be worth more than the gross annualized number suggests.
