Worked example: $52,000 a year is $25.00 an hour

  1. 1

    Count the hours in a working year

    40 hours a week times 52 weeks is 2,080 hours. That is the standard payroll year, and it is the divisor for a full-time salary.

  2. 2

    Divide the salary by those hours

    $52,000 divided by 2,080 hours is $25.00 an hour, before tax.

  3. 3

    Check it against your pay periods

    The same salary is $4,333.33 a month, $2,000 every two weeks, or $1,000 a week.

If you work more than 40 hours for the same salary, the effective rate falls: at 50 hours a week the same $52,000 works out at $20.00 an hour. This is the comparison worth making against an hourly offer, because a salaried role does not pay overtime for those extra hours.
