Formula: annual = hourly × hours/week × weeks/year. Salary → hourly is the inverse.
Compare to your pay stub: employers may use 2080 hours/year (40×52) or a slightly different divisor for “hourly equivalent.”
When to use this
Job offers in the US are often stated as either an annual salary or an hourly rate. This tool helps you compare offers apples-to-apples before taxes. After you have a gross figure, pair it with a state paycheck calculator to see take-home pay where you live.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you convert hourly to annual salary?+
Multiply hourly pay by hours worked per week, then multiply by the number of weeks you work per year (often 52, sometimes 50 if two weeks are unpaid).
Why does my employer’s number differ slightly?+
Some HR systems use 2,080 hours per year (40×52). Others prorate for part-time schedules or union step rules. This calculator uses the hours and weeks you enter.
Is this before or after taxes?+
All figures are gross (before federal, state, FICA, or benefits). Use a paycheck calculator for take-home pay.
