About this calculator
What this does
Converts hourly wage to annual salary (and vice versa) using standard US work-hour assumptions: 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year by default. Includes optional overtime pay at a custom multiplier, annual bonus input, and detailed pay-period breakdowns showing annual, monthly, semimonthly, biweekly, weekly, daily, and hourly equivalents.
Who it is for
Job seekers comparing hourly and salaried offers, freelancers pricing projects, HR professionals benchmarking compensation, employees verifying pay stubs, and anyone curious about what an hourly rate adds up to over a year.
How it works
In Hourly-to-Salary mode, multiply your hourly rate by hours per week and weeks per year to get base annual pay. Add overtime by multiplying your hourly rate by the overtime multiplier and overtime hours per week, then add any annual bonus. In Salary-to-Hourly mode, divide your total annual compensation by total work hours. Results update live as you type, and the URL state is shareable.
Limitations
All figures are gross (pre-tax) estimates. This calculator does not account for state or federal tax withholding, FICA, benefits, or deductions. For after-tax estimates, use a state-specific paycheck calculator. Calculations assume consistent weekly hours and do not model seasonal or variable schedules.
Formula
Overtime Pay
overtimeAnnual = hourly rate × overtime multiplier × overtime hours per week × weeks per year. Under the FLSA, non-exempt employees must be paid at least 1.5× the regular rate for hours beyond 40 in a workweek.
Annual to Hourly
hourly = (annual salary + annual bonus) / (hours per week × weeks per year). For a $50,000 salary with a 40-hour week and 52 weeks: $50,000 / 2,080 = $24.04/hour.
Pay Period Conversions
Monthly = annual / 12. Semimonthly = annual / 24. Biweekly = annual / 26. Weekly = annual / weeks per year. Daily = weekly / (hours per week / 8). These conversions assume even distribution across all periods.
How it works
Step 1
Choose a mode
Select Hourly to Salary or Salary to Hourly at the top of the calculator. Hourly-to-Salary converts your hourly rate to annual pay. Salary-to-Hourly converts your annual salary to an equivalent hourly rate.
Step 2
Enter your rate
Type your hourly rate (e.g., 25 for $25/hour) in Hourly-to-Salary mode, or your annual salary (e.g., 50000 for $50,000/year) in Salary-to-Hourly mode.
Step 3
Adjust hours and weeks
The default is 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year — the US full-time standard. Adjust weeks downward if you take unpaid time off. Part-time workers should adjust the hours field.
Step 4
Add overtime (optional)
If you regularly work overtime, enter the number of overtime hours per week and your overtime multiplier (commonly 1.5×). Overtime pay is added to your base annual compensation.
Step 5
Add an annual bonus (optional)
Enter any expected annual bonus or commission. This amount is added directly to your total annual compensation and factored into all pay-period breakdowns.
Step 6
Read the breakdown
The results panel shows your base pay, overtime pay, bonus, and total compensation across all common pay periods. The formula and step-by-step calculation are shown for verification.
Reference ranges
Common Hourly-to-Annual Conversions
$15/hr = $31,200/yr. $20/hr = $41,600/yr. $25/hr = $52,000/yr. $30/hr = $62,400/yr. $35/hr = $72,800/yr. $40/hr = $83,200/yr. $50/hr = $104,000/yr. Based on 40 hrs/week × 52 weeks.
Standard Work Year
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics uses 2,080 hours per year (40 hrs × 52 weeks) as the standard full-time baseline. If you take 2 unpaid weeks off, use 2,000 hours (50 weeks).
Overtime Impact
5 overtime hours per week at 1.5× premium adds roughly 7.5% to your base annual pay. 10 overtime hours adds roughly 15%. Overtime can significantly increase annual earnings for hourly workers.
Biweekly vs Semimonthly
Biweekly means every two weeks (26 paychecks/year). Semimonthly means twice per month (24 paychecks/year). Same total annual pay, but biweekly checks are slightly larger because there are fewer checks spread across the year.
