What is an hourly to salary calculator?

How to use the hourly to salary calculator

Using the calculator is straightforward. First, enter your hourly pay (if you know it) or annual salary (if you know it). Then set your work hours per week (default is 40 hours). Finally, view the results showing all salary formats.

The calculator will automatically calculate the missing value and show you hourly pay, work hours per week, annual salary, daily salary, weekly salary, and monthly salary.

Hourly to salary conversion formula

The basic formula for converting hourly pay to annual salary is:

Annual Salary = Hourly Pay × Work Hours per Week × 52 Weeks

For example: $15/hour × 40 hours/week × 52 weeks = $31,200/year

Reverse calculation (salary to hourly)

To convert annual salary to hourly pay:

Hourly Pay = Annual Salary ÷ (Work Hours per Week × 52 Weeks)

For example:

  • $31,200/year ÷ (40 hours/week × 52 weeks) = $15/hour
