The hourly to salary calculator converts any hourly wage to its annual, monthly, weekly, and daily equivalents in one step. Reach for it when comparing a job offer quoted in hours against a salaried role, checking whether a freelance rate covers your income target, or just understanding what your take-home adds up to across the year. It is particularly useful for people switching between hourly and salaried work. A job posting might advertise $28/hour while another offers a $55,000 salary — without doing the math, it is hard to know which pays better. This calculator makes the comparison immediate and honest. Freelancers and contractors can use it in reverse: if you need $70,000 per year and plan to bill 45 weeks at 35 hours per week, the required hourly rate is $44.44. Adjust the hours and weeks fields to model different workloads. All figures are gross pay — before income tax, self-employment tax, or other deductions. Figures apply to any currency.

How It Works
Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours Per Week × Weeks Per Year
Formula: Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours Per Week × Weeks Per Year The calculation chains from hourly to annual, then divides back down to monthly. Weekly pay is the hourly rate multiplied by hours worked that week. Annual pay multiplies weekly by working weeks in the year. Monthly divides the annual total by 12. Example: $22/hour, 40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year. Weekly = $22 × 40 = $880 Annual = $880 × 52 = $45,760 Monthly = $45,760 ÷ 12 = $3,813.33 Daily (8 hrs) = $22 × 8 = $176 The standard US full-time work year is 2,080 hours (40 × 52). Reduce weeks per year for unpaid leave — two unpaid weeks gives 50 working weeks and drops the annual figure accordingly. All outputs are gross pay before income tax and other deductions. For freelancers and gig workers, weeks per year is the most important field to adjust. If you take 6 weeks off per year (holidays, slow seasons, between contracts), your effective working year is 46 weeks — not 52. That gap reduces your annualised income by about 11.5% even if your hourly rate stays the same. Building that buffer into your rate calculation avoids the common mistake of under-pricing freelance work relative to salaried peers.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much is $20 an hour annually?
At $20/hour working 40 hours per week for 52 weeks, the annual gross salary is $41,600. Monthly that is $3,466.67 and weekly $800. After federal taxes, a single filer in the US typically takes home around $32,000–$35,000, though exact net pay depends on filing status, state taxes, and deductions. Use this calculator to run the same figures for any hourly rate.
What hourly rate equals a $50,000 salary?
Divide the annual salary by the total working hours: $50,000 ÷ 2,080 = $24.04/hour for a standard 40-hour week. Adjust for different schedules — at 37.5 hours per week (1,950 annual hours), the equivalent rate is $25.64/hour. This reverse calculation is useful when evaluating a salaried job offer against a quoted hourly rate.
Does this calculator account for taxes or deductions?
No — all outputs are gross figures before tax, Social Security, Medicare, pension contributions, or other deductions. Net take-home pay is typically 20–30% lower for most US earners. For an accurate net pay estimate, use a dedicated paycheck calculator that factors in your filing status, allowances, and state.
How many working hours are in a year?
The standard full-time year in the US contains 2,080 hours (52 weeks × 40 hours). This drops if you account for paid leave — a job with 15 days of paid holiday still pays for those hours, so gross annual salary is unchanged. For contract or freelance work where unpaid days reduce actual earned hours, adjust the weeks-per-year figure in this calculator accordingly.
