To use an hourly to salary calculator, convert hourly pay to an annual salary: multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per week and by the weeks per year. The Salary Converter does this and works in reverse, with adjustable hours and weeks.
How to use the Salary Converter (Hourly to Annual)
- Enter your hourly rate or annual salary.
- Set hours per week and working weeks per year.
- Read the converted amount and the monthly and weekly figures.
- Adjust the hours to compare offers.
Worked example
At $25 an hour, 40 hours a week and 52 weeks a year, the annual salary is $52,000.
Tips and common mistakes
- Adjust weeks per year if you take unpaid leave.
- Salary comparisons should consider benefits and overtime, not just the base figure.
- This is a gross figure before tax.
