Hourly to Salary Calculator

An hourly to salary calculator converts your hourly wage into annual, monthly, weekly, and daily salary equivalents. Enter your hourly rate, hours per week, and weeks per year — we'll show what you really make across every pay period, plus the overtime boost and a comparison to the median wage.

Use it to compare a job offer, budget against your real income, or negotiate a rate. The tool handles part-time schedules, unpaid weeks off, and overtime at 1.5× — so the numbers reflect how you actually work, not a textbook 2,080-hour year.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert my hourly wage to an annual salary?

Multiply your hourly wage by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply by 52 (weeks per year). For example, $25/hour × 40 hours/week × 52 weeks = $52,000/year. This calculator does that math for you and also shows monthly, weekly, and daily equivalents.

How many work hours are in a year?

A standard full-time year is 2,080 hours (40 hours/week × 52 weeks). Some employers use 2,087 hours (accounts for leap-year averaging). Part-time or variable schedules use your actual hours. This calculator lets you set your own hours per week and weeks per year.

Does the calculator account for overtime or taxes?

This calculator shows gross (pre-tax) salary equivalents. Overtime pay (typically 1.5× your hourly rate after 40 hours/week) is not included by default — use the overtime field to add it. For net (after-tax) take-home, pair this with a paycheck calculator that applies federal, state, and FICA deductions.

What is the difference between hourly and salary pay?

Hourly employees are paid for every hour worked and typically earn overtime (1.5×) after 40 hours/week. Salaried employees receive a fixed annual amount regardless of hours worked, but are often exempt from overtime. Salaried roles usually come with benefits (health, retirement, PTO), while hourly roles may not. Convert both to annual totals to compare apples-to-apples.

Is $30 an hour a good salary?

$30/hour × 2,080 hours = $62,400/year, which is above the US median household income ($59,000 in 2026 dollars). Whether it's 'good' depends on your location, field, and experience. In high-cost cities (SF, NYC), $62K is modest; in lower-cost areas, it's comfortable. Use this calculator to see the full breakdown for your own rate.
