Knowing your yearly salary makes it easier to compare job offers, apply for a loan or apartment, and build a realistic budget. This free hourly to salary calculator does the math for you and updates as you type, so you can test different rates and schedules in seconds.

How to use the hourly to salary calculator

  1. Enter your hourly pay rate in dollars.
  2. Enter the number of hours you normally work each week.
  3. If you work overtime, turn on the overtime option and enter your average overtime hours per week.
  4. Add any unpaid days off per year, such as unpaid leave or unpaid holidays. Your results update instantly.

How the calculation works

The basic formula is simple: annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × 52 weeks. A year has 52 weeks, so a full-time worker at 40 hours a week works 2,080 hours a year.

Unpaid time off lowers that total. The calculator assumes a five-day workweek, so every five unpaid days removes one week of pay. For example, 10 unpaid days reduces your paid year from 52 weeks to 50 weeks.

Overtime is paid at time and a half — 1.5 times your regular rate — and added on top of your regular pay for each paid week. From the annual total, we divide by 12 for monthly pay, 26 for bi-weekly pay, 52 for weekly pay and 260 (the number of weekdays in a year) for daily pay.

Worked example

At $25/hour working 40 hours a week, you earn $52,000 per year. Here's the math: $25 × 40 = $1,000 per week, and $1,000 × 52 = $52,000. That works out to about $4,333 per month, $2,000 every two weeks and $200 per workday. If you also worked 5 hours of overtime each week, you'd add $25 × 1.5 × 5 × 52 = $9,750, for a total of $61,750.

Gross pay vs. take-home pay

Every figure on this page is gross pay — what you earn before taxes and deductions. Federal and state income tax, Social Security, Medicare, health insurance premiums and retirement contributions all come out of your paycheck, so your take-home pay will be lower. Use these results as a starting point for budgeting and comparing offers, not as a final paycheck amount. Learn: gross pay vs. net pay, and how bi-weekly vs. semi-monthly pay changes each check.

Tips for comparing hourly and salaried jobs

A salaried role with a slightly lower annual figure can still be the better deal if it includes paid time off, health benefits or a retirement match. On the other hand, hourly roles often pay overtime, which salaried exempt employees usually don't receive. Run both scenarios through the calculator to see the real difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert $20 an hour to salary?

Multiply $20 by the hours you work per week, then by 52 weeks. At 40 hours a week, $20 × 40 × 52 = $41,600 per year in gross pay.

Does this calculator include taxes?

No. All results are gross pay before federal, state and local taxes, Social Security, Medicare or other deductions. Your take-home pay will be lower.

How many working hours are in a year?

A full-time schedule of 40 hours a week for 52 weeks equals 2,080 working hours per year. Unpaid days off reduce that number.

How is overtime calculated?

Overtime hours are paid at 1.5 times your regular hourly rate, which is the standard under the Fair Labor Standards Act for hours over 40 in a workweek.

What is a good hourly rate?

It depends on your location, industry and experience. As a reference, the federal minimum wage is $7.25 an hour, while many states and cities set higher minimums. Comparing the annual equivalent of an hourly rate with local salary data helps you judge an offer.

Should I count paid holidays and vacation as unpaid days?

No. Only enter days you are not paid for. Paid holidays and paid vacation still count toward your annual salary.
