Salary ↔ Hourly Converter

Divide your annual salary by the number of hours you work per year. For a standard 40-hour week and 52 weeks, that's 2,080 hours per year. So a $52,000 salary ÷ 2,080 hours = $25.00 per hour. This calculator does that math instantly and also gives you daily, weekly, and monthly figures.

If you receive paid vacation, keep weeks per year at 52 — you still get paid for those weeks even if you're not working. If you have unpaid leave (e.g. you're a contractor or freelancer), reduce the number of weeks to the actual weeks you work. For example, 2 weeks unpaid leave = 50 weeks worked.

No — this calculator converts between gross pay periods (before taxes). Tax calculations depend on filing status, deductions, state taxes, and other factors that vary significantly by individual. For take-home pay estimates, consult a payroll calculator that accounts for your specific tax situation.

The federal minimum wage is $7.25 per hour, which equals $15,080 per year at 40 hours/week for 52 weeks. Many states and cities have higher minimum wages. Always check the current rate for your location — many exceed $15/hour. Enter any hourly rate above to see its annual equivalent.
