Salary to Hourly Calculator
Turn a salary into an hourly rate, or an hourly rate into a salary, using your actual hours, workdays and paid weeks — and compare two jobs side by side.
Compare two jobs
For example a salaried offer against an hourly contract with different hours.
How the conversion works
- Annualhourly × hours per week × paid weeks per year
- Weeklyhourly × hours per week
- Dailyweekly ÷ workdays per week
- Monthlyannual ÷ 12
Worked example
$52,000 a year, 40 hours a week, paid all 52 weeks: 40 × 52 = 2,080 paid hours, so $52,000 ÷ 2,080 = $25 an hour, $1,000 a week and $4,333.33 a month.
If only 48 weeks are paid, the same $52,000 is earned over 1,920 hours — $27.08 an hour. Freelancers should also allow for unbillable time; the Freelance Rate Calculator covers that.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert an annual salary to an hourly rate?+
Divide the salary by the hours you're paid for in a year: hours per week × paid weeks per year. $52,000 ÷ (40 × 52) = $25 an hour. With 48 paid weeks it's $52,000 ÷ 1,920 = $27.08.
How do I convert an hourly rate to a yearly salary?+
Multiply the hourly rate by hours per week and by paid weeks per year. $30 × 37.5 hours × 52 weeks = $58,500 a year before tax.
Should I use 52 weeks?+
Use 52 if you're paid every week of the year, including paid holiday — typical for salaried jobs. If some weeks off are unpaid, as with many contracts and hourly jobs, enter only the weeks you're paid for.
Why does the daily rate depend on workdays?+
A day's pay is a week's pay divided by the days you work. 40 hours over 5 days is 8 hours a day; over 4 days it's 10, so the daily rate is higher for the same hourly pay.
Is this my take-home pay?+
No. Every figure is gross pay before income tax, social insurance, pension contributions and other deductions.
Is anything I enter saved or sent?+
No. The calculation runs in your browser and nothing is stored or uploaded.
