How to convert an hourly wage to a salary

Multiply your hourly wage by the hours you work in a week, then by the number of paid weeks in a year:

Salary = hourly wage × hours per week × weeks per year

A full-time job of 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is 2,080 hours a year. So $25 an hour works out to $52,000 a year, about $4,333 a month or $1,000 a week.

Quick rule of thumb

For full-time work, double your hourly wage and add three zeros to estimate the yearly salary: $20 an hour is about $40,000, $30 is about $60,000. It works because 2,080 hours is close to 2,000.

Converting a salary to an hourly rate

Go the other way by dividing: a $60,000 salary over 2,080 hours is about $28.85 an hour. This is useful for comparing a salaried offer with an hourly one, or for working out what your overtime is worth.

Things that change the result

  • Unpaid time off. If vacation or holidays aren't paid, lower the paid weeks per year. Two unpaid weeks means 50 weeks.
  • Overtime. Under federal law, most hourly workers earn 1.5× their rate for hours over 40 in a week. Add your usual overtime hours to include it.
  • Benefits. Health insurance, retirement matching and paid leave can be worth 20–30% on top of pay, so compare total packages, not just the hourly number.
  • Taxes. These figures are before tax. Use the salary after tax calculator to see what reaches your bank account.
