Hourly to Salary Calculator
Multiply an hourly rate by the hours you expect to work. At 40 hours a week and 52 weeks a year, $25 an hour is $52,000. Weekly pay at that schedule is $1,000.
Estimate for personal reference only. Not tax, legal, or employment advice. Overtime defaults follow a federal FLSA-style workweek, usually 1.5× after 40 hours. State and city rules may differ.
The multiplication
Annual pay = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year. That is the reverse of the salary division, and it uses the same defaults: 40 and 52. $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000. The weekly line is simpler: rate times hours per week, so $25 × 40 = $1,000. The monthly line spreads the annual total across 12 calendar months, which is $4,333.33. It is not “4.33 weeks of pay,” and it is not a billable-month rate.
If the hourly job will skip some weeks, lower the week count before you compare it with a salaried offer. Fifty paid weeks at $25 and 40 hours is $50,000, not $52,000. The calculator will not silently assume vacation is paid. You type the weeks you want in the product.
Comparing an hourly offer with a salary
Put the salary into the salary to hourly calculator with the same hours and the same weeks, and compare the two hourly numbers. Or stay here and compare annual totals. Keep the schedule identical on both sides. A salary quoted on 40 hours is not comparable to an hourly rate multiplied by 45 hours, because those extra five hours may also be overtime.
Overtime is not inside this annual figure. The multiplication is straight time only. Five overtime hours a week would be extra, at 1.5× unless your threshold is different, and that belongs on the overtime calculator or the weekly overtime calculator. A raise on the hourly rate, in percent or in a new dollar amount, belongs on the pay raise calculator.
Hours still have to be decimal hours
If the schedule is “8 hours and 30 minutes a day” rather than a flat 40, convert the day before you multiply the week. 8:30 is 8.50 decimal hours on the hours to decimal calculator. Five of those days are 42.50 hours, not 42.30 and not 40. The minutes to decimal hours page is the same conversion when you are holding minutes only.
The annual number is gross. It is not a W-2 prediction and it does not withhold tax. Use it to compare offers and to see the size of a schedule, then read the assumptions and formulas page if you want the formula written out with the limits beside it.
Frequently asked questions
What is $25 an hour as a yearly salary?
$25 times 40 hours times 52 weeks is $52,000 a year. Weekly pay at 40 hours is $1,000. A calendar month is about $4,333.33 if you spread $52,000 across 12 months.
Should I use 52 weeks or 50?
Use 52 if the hourly job is paid every week of the year. Use fewer weeks if you know some weeks will be unpaid. The annual figure is just rate times hours times weeks.
