Hourly to Salary Calculator
Formula
Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × 52
To convert an hourly rate to annual salary, multiply the hourly wage by hours worked per week, then by 52 weeks in a year. A standard full-time schedule is 40 hours per week, giving 2,080 working hours per year.
How to use
- Enter your wage in the Hourly Rate field.
- Enter your Hours per Week (40 is standard full-time).
- Read your Annual Salary, plus monthly and weekly income.
Example
Enter $25 as the Hourly Rate and 40 Hours per Week. The tool computes 25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 per year, or about $4,333 per month.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is $25/hour annually?
$25/hour × 2,080 hours = $52,000 per year (based on 40-hour work weeks).
How much is $15/hour annually?
$15/hour × 2,080 hours = $31,200 per year before taxes.
Does overtime affect this calculation?
This calculator assumes a consistent hourly rate. Overtime pay (typically 1.5× your rate) would increase your actual annual earnings.
Why use 52 weeks instead of subtracting vacation time?
This calculator multiplies by 52 weeks to show your gross annual pay if you were paid for every week of the year, which matches how many hourly jobs work when paid time off is included. If your time off is unpaid, your real annual income would be lower because you'd earn nothing during those weeks. To estimate that, multiply your hourly rate and weekly hours by only the number of weeks you actually get paid.
Is the resulting salary before or after taxes?
The figure shown is your gross salary, meaning before any taxes or deductions are taken out. Your take-home pay will be lower after federal and state income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and any benefits or retirement contributions. As a rough guide, many US workers keep somewhere around 70 to 85 percent of their gross pay, though it depends heavily on income and location.
