How do I convert annual salary to hourly wage?

Divide your gross annual salary by total paid work hours in a year. For a $52,000 salary at 40 hours/week and 50 working weeks: $52,000 ÷ 2,000 = $26/hour.

Should I use gross or net salary?

Use gross (pre-tax) salary for hourly rate comparisons between jobs. Net pay varies by taxes and deductions.

How many work weeks per year should I use?

Most full-time employees use 52 weeks minus vacation and holidays — often 48–50 weeks. Adjust based on your actual paid time off.

How It Works

Divide your annual salary by the total hours you work per year. Total hours = hours per week × weeks per year minus unpaid time off. Formula: Hourly rate = Annual salary ÷ ((Hours/week × Weeks/year) − (PTO hours)). The calculator also breaks down monthly, weekly, and daily earnings so you can compare job offers or freelance rates.
