Examples
Formula
Hourly wage = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). Annual salary = hourly wage × hours per week × weeks per year.
hourly = annual / (hours/wk × weeks/yr)Frequently asked questions
Is this calculator pre-tax or post-tax?
Pre-tax (gross). It converts between quoted salary and quoted hourly rate. For a take-home estimate, multiply by roughly 0.7–0.8 depending on your state and filing status, or use a dedicated paycheck tool.
Why use 2,080 hours per year?
40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080, the standard full-time equivalent in the US. This calculator uses whatever values you enter, so you can override it for part-time or unpaid leave scenarios.
How do I convert salary to hourly for contracting?
Contractors typically need 1.25–1.5× an employee's effective hourly rate to cover self-employment tax, benefits, and time between gigs. Convert your target salary here, then apply a 25–50% uplift.
What about overtime?
This calculator is for base-rate conversion, not overtime. If you want overtime-adjusted earnings, compute base pay for your standard hours here, then add overtime hours at 1.5× the hourly rate.
Does this include benefits or bonuses?
No — just direct salary or wage. If your total compensation includes a bonus or employer 401(k) match, those would need to be added separately.
