Hourly to Salary Calculator
Yearly, monthly, and weekly gross pay from any hourly rate.
What it does
Hourly workers often need the yearly view for budgets, loan forms, and job offers. This page turns an hourly rate into yearly, monthly, and weekly gross pay from two extra facts: hours per week and paid weeks per year.
The math is direct multiplication with one division for the monthly line. The defaults show a standard full time case at $25 per hour, which lands at $52,000.00 per year. Change any input and all three outputs move together.
Weeks per year is where most errors start. Salaried quotes assume paid weeks, while hourly reality includes unpaid gaps. Setting 50 instead of 52 models two unpaid weeks and drops the example total by $2,000.
These are gross numbers. Federal and state tax, Social Security, Medicare, retirement, and health premia all sit outside this page. Use a take home pay page next for net estimates.
How to use
- Enter the hourly rate in dollars.
- Enter usual hours per week.
- Enter paid weeks per year (52 for a full year).
- Read yearly pay first, then monthly and weekly.
- Re run with fewer weeks to model unpaid leave.
Formula
- rate
- Gross pay per hour, before tax.
- hours
- Usual paid hours each week.
- weeks
- Paid weeks in the year, often 52 minus unpaid weeks.
Full time at 40 hours across 52 weeks is 2080 hours, the common BLS base for yearly equivalents. Part time, overtime premia, and unpaid leave need their own pass. Results are gross pay.
Worked example
Example: $25 per hour, full time
Rate $25 per hour, 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year.
- Weekly: 25 x 40 = $1,000.00.
- Yearly: 1,000 x 52 = $52,000.00.
- Monthly: 52,000 / 12 = $4,333.33.
- Tool shows $52,000.00 yearly, $4,333.33 monthly, $1,000.00 weekly.
- All three are gross, before tax and deductions.
