Convert your hourly wage into an annual, monthly and weekly salary — and switch the other way to turn a salary back into an hourly rate. Adjust your hours per week and weeks per year for an exact figure.
Figures are gross (pre-tax). For your actual paycheck after deductions, try the take-home pay calculator.
To convert an hourly wage to a yearly salary, multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work each week, then by the number of paid weeks you work each year:
Annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year
Example. If you earn $20 per hour and work 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, your annual salary is 20 × 40 × 52 = $41,600 before tax. A standard full-time year is 40 hours × 52 weeks. If you take two weeks of unpaid leave, set weeks per year to 50.
Common hourly rates converted to annual, monthly and weekly pay (40 hours/week, 52 weeks, pre-tax).
| Hourly | Annual | Monthly | Weekly |
|---|---|---|---|
| $12 | $24,960 | $2,080 | $480 |
| $15 | $31,200 | $2,600 | $600 |
| $18 | $37,440 | $3,120 | $720 |
| $20 | $41,600 | $3,467 | $800 |
| $22 | $45,760 | $3,813 | $880 |
| $25 | $52,000 | $4,333 | $1,000 |
| $30 | $62,400 | $5,200 | $1,200 |
| $35 | $72,800 | $6,067 | $1,400 |
| $40 | $83,200 | $6,933 | $1,600 |
| $50 | $104,000 | $8,667 | $2,000 |
For context, the median weekly earnings of a full-time US worker were about $1,196, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics — roughly $62,000 per year, or close to $30 an hour for a 40-hour week. Pay varies widely by occupation, experience and state, so use your own numbers above for an accurate figure.
Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per week, then by the number of paid weeks you work per year. For a standard full-time job that is hourly × 40 × 52. Example: $20/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $41,600 per year, before tax.
Use 52 if you are paid for the full year including vacation (most salaried-style hourly jobs). Use 50 if you take two weeks of unpaid leave. The calculator lets you set this so the figure matches your real situation.
$20 an hour is $41,600 per year before tax, based on a 40-hour week for 52 weeks. That works out to about $3,467 per month and $800 per week. Your take-home pay will be lower after federal, state and FICA taxes.
$25 an hour is $52,000 per year before tax (40 hours × 52 weeks), roughly $4,333 per month and $1,000 per week.
The result is your gross (pre-tax) salary. To estimate what actually lands in your bank account, use a take-home pay calculator that applies federal, state and FICA deductions.
Switch to the "Salary → Hourly" tab. The calculator divides your annual salary by your total paid hours (hours per week × weeks per year). For example, $60,000 ÷ (40 × 52) = about $28.85 per hour.
