How the hourly to salary calculator works
Pay converts between periods by multiplying by the time worked. An hourly rate times your weekly hours gives weekly pay, and weekly pay times the weeks you work in a year gives your salary. Monthly pay is the yearly figure divided by 12, because months have different numbers of weeks.
The defaults assume a 40-hour week, 52 paid weeks and 5 working days. Change them to match your job: part-time hours, a 37.5-hour week or unpaid weeks off all change the result. Every figure is gross pay, before tax.
Formula
Yearly = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year. Monthly = yearly ÷ 12. Weekly = hourly rate × hours per week. Daily = weekly ÷ days per week.
In reverse: hourly rate = yearly salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year).
Example
At $25 an hour for 40 hours a week, weekly pay is $1,000. Over 52 weeks that is $52,000 a year, or about $4,333 a month and $200 a day over a 5-day week.
Going the other way, a salary of 60,000 for 40 hours a week over 52 weeks works out at about 28.85 an hour.
Tips and common mistakes
A quick rule of thumb
For a full-time job, multiplying the hourly rate by 2,000 gives a fast estimate: $25 an hour is roughly $50,000 a year, a little under the exact $52,000.
Count unpaid time off
If you don't get paid holiday, lower the weeks per year, for example to 48 for four unpaid weeks.
Overtime is extra
Regular overtime is usually paid at a higher rate. Work it out separately and add it to the yearly figure.
