Each row is the rate times 40 hours times 52 weeks. The month is the year divided by 12. These are sums of the rates in the first column, not typical pay for any job.

How do I convert an hourly wage to a yearly salary?

Multiply the hourly rate by the hours you work in a week, then by the number of weeks you are paid in a year. At $25 an hour for 40 hours a week over 52 weeks, that is $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 a year. Divide the year by 12 for a month ($4,333.33) and by 52 for an average week. If you take weeks off without pay, count only the weeks you are paid: two unpaid weeks off make it 50 weeks and $50,000.

How do I convert a yearly salary to an hourly rate?

Divide the salary by the hours in a year. For a full-time week of 40 hours over 52 weeks that is 2,080 hours, so $52,000 ÷ 2,080 = $25.00 an hour. The US Office of Personnel Management uses a different divisor for federal pay, 2,087 hours, because it is the average number of work hours in a calendar year over a 28-year cycle. On that method the same $52,000 is $24.92 an hour. The calculator shows both when you convert a salary.

How do weeks off change the result?

It depends on whether you are paid for them. In an hourly job where vacation is unpaid, each week off removes a week of pay, so the year is smaller but the hourly rate is the same. In a salaried job with paid vacation, the year covers all 52 weeks, so each hour you actually work is worth more than the rate. With two paid weeks off, $52,000 is $26.00 for every hour worked (52,000 ÷ 2,000). The switch in the calculator shows which case you are in.

Is this the amount I take home?

No. Every figure here is before tax and before anything taken out of a paycheck, and it leaves out overtime, bonuses, tips and benefits. Your take-home pay depends on where you live, your tax situation and your deductions, and we do not estimate it. For that, use the official calculator or the pay stub of an employer that withholds tax in your country.

How do I find what a job typically pays?

We do not quote pay figures, because a number without its source and date is a guess. In the United States, the Bureau of Labor Statistics publishes the Occupational Outlook Handbook, where you can look up an occupation and see its pay and outlook. Open it, read the date on the figure, and use the number you find as an input in the calculator.

Questions about hourly to salary calculator

How many working hours are there in a year?

A 40-hour week over 52 weeks is 2,080 hours. The federal government divides by 2,087 instead, the average over a 28-year cycle (OPM). Your own number is hours per week times weeks worked, which you can set in the calculator.

Is a monthly salary the hourly rate times four weeks?

No. A year has 52 weeks, so a month is on average 4.33 weeks. The calculator divides the yearly amount by 12, which is the correct monthly figure.

Can I use it for part-time work?

Yes. Change the hours per week, for example to 20, and the days per week to match.

Does it include overtime?

No. Overtime rules differ by country, state and job type, and the calculator only multiplies the rate by the hours you type. Add the overtime pay yourself if you expect it.

Which currency does it use?

Any. The symbol you pick is only a label; the arithmetic is the same in every currency.

Why is the federal method lower?

Because 2,087 is larger than 2,080, dividing by it gives a slightly lower hourly figure. It is the divisor federal pay uses, so use it when you read a federal pay table.

    Federal hourly rates of basic pay are computed by dividing the annual rate by 2,087 hours, the average number of work hours in a calendar year over a 28-year cycle (the figure was 2,080 before 1984). The fact sheet shows no revision date.

Rule of thumb: A 40-hour week over 52 weeks is the usual full-time reading of a year (2,080 hours). It is a convention, not a law; your contract may count differently, so set your own hours and weeks above.
