Hourly to Salary Calculator

Enter your hourly wage, paid hours per week, and the number of paid weeks you expect to work during the year. The calculator converts those inputs into estimated gross annual pay plus monthly, biweekly, weekly, and 8-hour-day equivalents.

Using your actual weekly hours and paid weeks is more accurate than automatically assuming every hourly worker has a 40-hour schedule for all 52 weeks. Part-time schedules, seasonal work, and unpaid time off can all change the annual total.

The daily figure uses an 8-hour day as a simple reference: hourly rate × 8. It does not imply that your actual workday is eight hours.

A common shortcut multiplies an hourly rate by 2,080 hours, which represents 40 hours per week for 52 weeks. That shortcut is useful only when those assumptions match the job. If you work 40 hours but have four unpaid weeks, the annual calculation should use 48 paid weeks instead of 52.

Likewise, a 30-hour weekly schedule should use 30 hours rather than pretending the position is full time. The calculator keeps hours per week and weeks per year separate so the annualized gross pay matches the schedule you are modeling.

An hourly-to-salary conversion answers a gross-income question. It does not estimate what reaches your bank account. Federal income tax withholding, Social Security, Medicare, state and local taxes, insurance, retirement contributions, and other deductions can materially change net pay.

For a paycheck estimate, take the annual or hourly amount from this page to the 2026 Paycheck Calculator, where you can add pay frequency, W-4 information, and payroll deductions.

This calculator intentionally uses straight-time pay. Overtime eligibility and overtime rates depend on the work arrangement and applicable rules, while bonuses, commissions, tips, shift differentials, and irregular hours can make annual earnings vary from a simple hourly conversion.

If your weekly hours change frequently, use an average paid-hours figure only when that average is meaningful for the period you are planning. For precise historical earnings, actual pay records are more reliable than an annualized estimate.

Jamie is offered $30 an hour for 40 hours a week and 52 paid weeks a year. Gross annual pay is $30 × 40 × 52 = $62,400. The monthly equivalent is $5,200 and the biweekly equivalent is $2,400.

Biweekly means 26 pay periods a year; twice a month means 24. These equivalents are before taxes, benefits deductions, and any overtime premium.

The annualized number is useful when two jobs quote pay differently, but compensation is broader than the hourly-to-salary conversion. Benefits, paid time off, overtime eligibility, bonuses, commissions, schedule stability, and employer retirement contributions can change the value of an offer.

Use the converted annual gross pay as a common baseline. Then compare the parts of compensation that are not captured by straight-time wages separately.

If vacation or holidays are paid, those weeks can still be part of annual salary-equivalent earnings even when no hours are worked. If time off is unpaid, using 52 paid weeks can overstate expected gross income.

Enter the number of weeks that are actually paid under the scenario you are comparing. For irregular schedules, use a realistic average rather than automatically assuming 40 hours and 52 weeks.
