Hourly to Salary Calculator
Turn an hourly wage into weekly, monthly, and annual pay estimates so it's easier to compare offers and budget ahead.
Weekly
$1,000
Monthly
$4,333
Annual
$52,000
Formula
Annual = Hourly × Hours per week × Weeks per year · Monthly = Annual ÷ 12
Worked example
$25/hour, 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year.
- Weekly: 25 × 40 = $1,000
- Annual: 1,000 × 52 = $52,000
- Monthly: 52,000 ÷ 12 ≈ $4,333
Answer: $52,000 per year
How it works
The annual figure is hourly pay multiplied by hours per week and then by weeks per year. From there, monthly pay is just the annual divided by twelve.
This is a gross (pre-tax) estimate. Real take-home pay depends on income tax, payroll deductions, retirement contributions, and benefits, all of which vary by country and employer.
If you take unpaid time off, lower the weeks-per-year value. Fifty weeks is a common assumption for two unpaid weeks; forty-eight covers four.
Common mistakes
- Assuming the result is take-home pay — it's gross, before any taxes or deductions.
- Leaving weeks per year at 52 when you actually take unpaid vacation.
- Using your scheduled hours instead of your average weekly hours when overtime is common.
FAQ
- Is this number after tax?
- No. It's a gross estimate. Taxes, deductions, and benefits will reduce take-home pay.
- What if my hours change each week?
- Use your average weekly hours for a closer estimate.
- How do I account for paid vacation?
- Keep weeks per year at 52 — paid vacation is part of your annual pay.
- How do I go from salary back to hourly?
- Divide annual salary by (hours per week × weeks per year). $52,000 ÷ (40 × 52) ≈ $25 per hour.
- Does it include overtime?
- Not directly. If overtime is regular, raise the hours-per-week value or compute overtime hours at their premium rate separately.
- What weeks-per-year value should I pick?
- 52 if all weeks are paid, 50 for two unpaid weeks off, 48 for a month of unpaid leave.
