Hourly to Salary Calculator

Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply that result by the number of weeks you work per year. The standard formula is: Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours Per Week × Weeks Per Year. For a typical full-time worker at $25/hr: $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000.

Divide your annual salary by the total number of hours worked per year. Total hours = hours per week × weeks per year. For example, a $52,000 salary divided by 2,080 hours (40 hrs × 52 weeks) equals $25 per hour.

The standard full-time work year in the US is 2,080 hours, based on 40 hours per week for 52 weeks. If you account for paid holidays and vacation (typically 10–15 days), the adjusted figure is closer to 1,960–2,000 working hours per year.

Overtime applies to hours worked beyond 40 per week. Under US federal law, overtime is typically paid at 1.5x your regular rate (time and a half). This calculator lets you select your overtime multiplier so any hours over 40 per week are calculated at the appropriate higher rate.

At $18 per hour working 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, you would earn $37,440 per year. That works out to approximately $3,120 per month or $720 per week before taxes.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, the median weekly earnings for full-time wage and salary workers is around $1,100–$1,150, which equates to approximately $57,000–$60,000 annually. This varies significantly by occupation, industry, and location.

Use 52 weeks if you are paid for all 52 weeks including vacation and holidays. If you take unpaid time off, reduce the weeks accordingly. For example, two weeks of unpaid vacation means you should use 50 weeks in your calculation to get a more accurate picture of actual earned income.

No, this calculator shows gross pay only — the amount before any taxes, deductions, or withholdings are applied. To estimate your take-home (net) pay, you would need to factor in federal income tax, state income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and any voluntary deductions.
