Convert Hourly Pay to an Annual Salary
The Tools Kit's free Hourly to Salary Calculator turns an hourly wage into yearly, monthly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, weekly and daily pay in one step. Enter what you earn per hour, or per day, week, paycheck, month, quarter or year, and every other period is filled in from the hours and days you actually work. It answers the questions people ask when weighing a job offer: how much is my hourly wage per year, what is that per month, and what does it come to if my days off are unpaid.
Annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × 52. At a standard 40-hour week that is 2,080 hours, so $25 an hour is $52,000 a year before tax.
How to Use the Hourly to Salary Calculator
- 1
Enter your pay and its period
Type the amount into Salary amount and pick the period it covers: Hour, Day, Week, Bi-weekly, Semi-monthly, Month, Quarter or Year.
- 2
Set your hours and days per week
Enter how many hours and how many days you work each week. The defaults are 40 hours over 5 days; change them for part-time or compressed schedules.
- 3
Enter unpaid holidays and vacation days
Holidays per year defaults to 10 and vacation days to 15. These only affect the adjusted column, which treats those days as unpaid. Set both to 0 if your time off is paid.
- 4
Read both result columns
The table shows hourly, daily, weekly, bi-weekly, semi-monthly, monthly, quarterly and annual pay, first unadjusted and then with the unpaid days removed.
Type the amount as a plain number, such as 1500 rather than $1,500. The calculation runs in your browser as you type, with no account needed.
Pay Period Conversion Formulas
Whatever period you start from, the calculator first converts it to an annual figure, then divides that year back into every other period. These are the multipliers it uses:
| You enter pay per | Annual salary |
|---|---|
| Hour | Rate × hours per week × 52 |
| Day | Rate × days per week × 52 |
| Week | Amount × 52 |
| Bi-weekly | Amount × 26 |
| Semi-monthly | Amount × 24 |
| Month | Amount × 12 |
| Quarter | Amount × 4 |
Going back down, the hourly rate is the annual figure divided by hours per week × 52, the daily rate is annual divided by days per week × 52, and monthly pay is annual divided by 12. A $2,000 bi-weekly paycheck is $52,000 a year, which is $25 an hour at 40 hours a week. Because monthly pay divides the year by 12 rather than counting four weeks, $52,000 is $4,333.33 a month, not $4,000. If you only know your salary, the dedicated salary to hourly calculator runs the same conversion in the other direction.
Salary With Unpaid Holidays and Vacation Days
Many hourly jobs pay nothing for days you do not work, which is why an hourly rate can overstate yearly income. The second results column handles this. It counts your working days (days per week × 52), subtracts the holidays and vacation days you entered, and scales the annual salary by the days that remain.
With the defaults, a 5-day week has 260 working days. Removing 10 holidays and 15 vacation days leaves 235, so $25 an hour drops from $52,000 to $47,000 a year: $3,916.67 a month or $1,807.69 every two weeks. The adjusted Hourly row reads $22.60, which is that $47,000 spread across all 2,080 hours of a full-time year. Treat it as your effective average rate, not a pay cut. If you need to count the exact business days in a stretch of time off, the days calculator can do that.
Part-Time, Compressed and Overtime Schedules
Annual pay scales in a straight line with weekly hours, so changing hours per week is all it takes to model part-time work. At 25 hours a week, $20 an hour is $26,000 a year. For an hourly rate, days per week does not change the unadjusted annual figure, only the daily figure and the number of working days the adjusted column counts: a nurse working three 12-hour shifts at $30 an hour earns $56,160 a year, $1,080 a week, and $360 per shift day.
The calculator pays every hour at the same rate. If some of your hours are overtime at time and a half, work them out with the overtime calculator, and if your hours change week to week, total them from your clock-in and clock-out times with the time card calculator first.
Gross Salary vs Take-Home Pay
Every figure here is gross pay, before income tax, Social Security, Medicare and any benefit deductions, and results are shown in US dollars. To estimate what lands in your bank account, take the annual figure to the paycheck calculator for US federal, FICA and state tax. The same arithmetic works for any currency, so you can also enter pounds or Canadian dollars and read the numbers without the dollar sign, then use the UK take-home pay calculator or the Canada income tax calculator for local tax.
Comparing an offer against your current pay? The percentage calculator shows the percent change between two salaries, so you can see whether a raise from $22 to $25 an hour is really a 13.6% increase.
Worked example: $25 an hour is $52,000 a year
- 1
Count the hours in a working year
40 hours a week times 52 weeks is 2,080 hours. This is the standard payroll year, and it already includes paid holiday and vacation, because paid time off is paid.
- 2
Multiply by the hourly rate
2,080 hours times $25 an hour is $52,000 a year, before tax.
- 3
Split it by pay period
That same $52,000 is $4,333.33 a month, $2,000 every two weeks, $1,000 a week, or $200 for an eight-hour day.
If your time off is unpaid, drop those weeks from the 52 before multiplying. Two unpaid weeks makes it 2,000 hours, so the same $25 rate becomes $50,000 a year. The method does not change, only the hour count.

How to calculate your hourly wage from a salary
Going the other direction, divide the annual salary by the hours worked in a year. Full-time at 40 hours a week is 2,080 hours, so a $52,000 salary is $25 an hour. Part-time hours or unpaid weeks change the divisor, not the method.
For a full breakdown with monthly, biweekly and after-tax figures, use the salary to hourly calculator. To see what either figure looks like after tax in your state, use the paycheck calculator.

Frequently Asked Questions
Multiply the hourly rate by the hours you work each week, then by 52 weeks. At 40 hours a week that is 2,080 hours, so $25 an hour is $52,000 a year before tax. Enter your rate with the period set to Hour and the calculator shows the annual figure along with every other pay period.
A full-time schedule of 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is 2,080 hours, which is the figure payroll departments use. The calculator multiplies your own hours per week by 52, so 30 hours a week gives 1,560 hours and 37.5 hours gives 1,950.
At 40 hours a week, $20 an hour is $41,600 a year before tax: 20 × 2,080. That is about $3,466.67 a month, $1,600 every two weeks, or $800 a week.
Work out the annual figure first (rate × hours per week × 52), then divide by 12. $25 an hour at 40 hours a week is $52,000 a year, or $4,333.33 a month. Dividing by 12 rather than multiplying by four weeks matters, because most months are longer than four weeks.
The unadjusted column pays you for every working day of the year. The adjusted column removes the holidays and vacation days you entered as unpaid days. With the defaults of 5 days a week, 10 holidays and 15 vacation days, 25 of 260 working days are dropped, so $25 an hour becomes $47,000 a year instead of $52,000.
No. If your employer pays you for holidays and vacation, the unadjusted column is your real salary, or you can set both fields to 0 so the two columns match. The adjustment is meant for hourly work where days off earn nothing.
Yes. Set the period to Year, enter the annual salary, and read the Hourly row. $60,000 a year at 40 hours a week works out to $28.85 an hour. The site also has a separate salary to hourly calculator for that direction.
Bi-weekly pay arrives every two weeks, 26 times a year. Semi-monthly pay arrives twice a month, 24 times a year. On a $52,000 salary a bi-weekly check is $2,000 and a semi-monthly check is $2,166.67, even though the annual total is identical.
Yes. Change hours per week and days per week to your schedule. At 25 hours a week, $20 an hour is $26,000 a year. Every figure, including the daily rate, is recalculated from the hours and days you enter.
Before tax. Every figure is gross pay, with no federal, state, Social Security or Medicare withholding taken out. Use a paycheck or take-home pay calculator to estimate what actually reaches your bank account.
No. The main calculator multiplies one rate by your weekly hours, so any hours you enter are paid at the same rate. To price hours paid at time and a half, use the overtime calculator, or open one of the per-rate pages for an hourly rate, which include an overtime table.
