Whether you’re comparing a job offer, budgeting your income, or filing taxes, converting between hourly wage and annual salary is a calculation you’ll use throughout your career. This guide covers every conversion you’ll need, with formulas, examples, and a free salary calculator.
How to Convert Hourly to Annual Salary
Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × 52
Example: You earn $25/hour and work 40 hours/week.
Annual = $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000/year
How to Convert Annual Salary to Hourly
Hourly Rate = Annual Salary ÷ (Hours per Week × 52)
Example: You earn $65,000/year and work 40 hours/week.
Hourly = $65,000 ÷ (40 × 52) = $65,000 ÷ 2,080 = $31.25/hour
Salary Conversion Quick Reference Table
| Hourly Rate | Weekly (40 hrs) | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| $15/hr | $600 | $2,600 | $31,200 |
| $20/hr | $800 | $3,467 | $41,600 |
| $25/hr | $1,000 | $4,333 | $52,000 |
| $35/hr | $1,400 | $6,067 | $72,800 |
| $50/hr | $2,000 | $8,667 | $104,000 |
| $75/hr | $3,000 | $13,000 | $156,000 |
Gross Salary vs. Net (Take-Home) Salary
Your gross salary is the number before any deductions. Your net salary (take-home pay) is what actually hits your bank account after federal taxes, state taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and benefits deductions. On average, US workers take home 65–75% of their gross salary depending on state and income level.
How Overtime Affects Annual Income
In the US, non-exempt employees earn 1.5× their regular rate for hours worked beyond 40 per week (federal overtime rules). If you work 10 hours of overtime per week at $25/hour:
Overtime pay = $25 × 1.5 × 10 hrs × 52 weeks = $19,500 extra/year
Comparing Salary Offers
When comparing a salaried role vs. an hourly role, convert both to the same unit. Also factor in benefits: a $60,000 salaried role with full health insurance may be worth more than a $65,000 hourly equivalent without benefits.
