Why Convert Your Salary?
Comparing job offers can be challenging when one position offers an hourly wage ($25/hour) and another offers an annual salary ($52,000/year). Converting between different time periods helps you make apples-to-apples financial decisions and understand your true earning potential.
Salary conversion is also essential for budgeting, financial planning, and understanding how your pay translates across different timeframes. Whether you're negotiating a new job, planning expenses, or comparing compensation packages, accurate salary conversion ensures you make informed financial decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is the hourly to yearly calculation done?
We multiply your hourly rate by the number of work hours in a week (default 40) and then by the number of weeks in a year (52). For example: $25/hr * 40 * 52 = $52,000/year.
Does this include overtime pay?
Our calculator uses standard 40-hour work weeks. For overtime, you'd need to account for time-and-a-half (1.5x) or double-time rates separately, as overtime rules vary by location.
Is this gross or net pay?
This calculator provides your Gross Pay (before taxes). Net Pay (after taxes) depends heavily on your specific location, filing status, deductions, and benefits.
Did you account for paid time off?
Salaried employees typically receive paid yearly salary regardless of holidays. For hourly workers, the yearly calculation assumes you are paid for all 52 weeks (2,080 hours), including any paid time off or holidays.
