Hourly to Salary Calculator

Convert an hourly rate into annual, monthly, and weekly salary estimates. Useful for sizing up an hourly offer in salary terms, or for setting a yearly income target before deciding what hourly rate to charge.

Use it when you receive an hourly offer and want to compare it to a salaried role, when you are setting a yearly income target as a freelancer or contractor, or when you are planning a budget around an hourly job that pays consistent weeks.

Annual salary is rate times hours per week times weeks per year. Monthly pay is annual divided by 12. Weekly pay is rate times hours per week. The default is 40 hours and 52 weeks, but adjust both if your reality is different so the annual figure stays honest.

All three figures are gross, before taxes and deductions. Monthly pay is an average since calendar months have different working day counts. Use the annual figure when comparing to a salaried offer, and the weekly figure when planning paycheck-to-paycheck cash flow.

$25 an hour times 40 hours times 52 weeks equals $52,000 a year, about $4,333 a month, or $1,000 a week. At $30 the annual climbs to $62,400. Cutting weeks worked to 50 (two unpaid weeks off) at $25 drops the annual to $50,000 and monthly to $4,167.

Salaried jobs usually do not pay overtime. If your hourly job pays overtime regularly, this conversion ignores that bonus pay and can flatter the salaried role in comparison. Adjust by adding average overtime pay back into the hourly side before deciding which arrangement actually pays more. Also factor in benefits like health insurance, paid time off, retirement match, and holiday pay, since those are part of total compensation but never appear in a simple hourly-to-annual conversion. Remember that a higher annual figure on paper does not always mean a better deal once you adjust for missing overtime, fewer paid holidays, or a longer commute.
