Turn a salary into an hourly wage in one click. Enter your yearly, monthly, or weekly pay and press Calculate. We assume a standard 40-hour week across 52 weeks, but you can change that below if you work different hours.

Figures show gross pay before taxes and deductions. Your take-home pay will be lower and depends on your tax bracket, benefits, and local rules.

To convert a salary to an hourly wage, divide the yearly pay by your total work hours in a year. At a standard 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, that is 2,080 hours. A $50,000 salary comes out to $24.04 an hour. The calculator above does this for any salary, and the chart below covers the most common figures.

How do you convert salary to hourly?

Divide your yearly salary by the number of hours you work in a year. For a full-time job at 40 hours a week across 52 weeks, that is 2,080 hours. So the formula is: hourly wage = yearly salary ÷ 2,080.

Example: a $60,000 salary divided by 2,080 hours is $28.85 an hour. If you work different hours, swap 2,080 for your own total. Someone working 35 hours a week for 52 weeks has 1,820 hours, so their hourly rate is higher for the same salary.

What is $60,000 a year per hour?

A $60,000 salary is $28.85 an hour at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. That works out to $1,153.85 a week and $5,000 a month before tax. If you work fewer hours, your hourly rate rises, because the same salary is spread over fewer hours.

What is $50,000 a year per hour?

A $50,000 salary is $24.04 an hour on a standard full-time schedule. That is $961.54 a week and about $4,167 a month. This is one of the most searched conversions because $50,000 is a common salary benchmark.

What is $40,000 a year per hour?

A $40,000 salary comes to $19.23 an hour, $769.23 a week, and $3,333.33 a month at 40 hours a week. Drop your weekly hours and the hourly figure goes up for the same yearly pay.

How many hours are in a work year?

A standard full-time work year is 2,080 hours. That comes from 40 hours a week multiplied by 52 weeks. This is the figure most salary to hourly conversions use. If you take unpaid weeks off, your real total is lower. Working 50 weeks instead of 52 gives you 2,000 hours, which raises your effective hourly rate.

Does paid time off change my hourly rate?

Paid time off does not change it, because you are still paid for those weeks. Your salary already covers your vacation and holidays if they are paid, so the full 2,080 hours still applies. Unpaid time off is different. If you take weeks without pay, you work fewer hours for the same salary, which makes each working hour worth more. Lower the weeks per year in the calculator to reflect unpaid leave.

How to convert salary to hourly for part-time work

Use your actual weekly hours instead of 40. A $30,000 salary at 25 hours a week for 52 weeks is 1,300 hours, so the hourly rate is $23.08, not $14.42. Part-time salaries convert to higher hourly rates than they first appear, because the yearly pay is divided across fewer hours. Open the hours and weeks section in the calculator to set your real schedule.

Why convert a salary to an hourly wage?

Converting helps you compare offers on equal footing. A salaried job and an hourly job are hard to compare until both are in the same unit. It also shows the real value of your time, which is useful when deciding whether extra unpaid hours are worth it. If you often work beyond your paid hours, your true hourly rate is lower than the simple conversion suggests.

Is the hourly figure before or after tax?

The hourly figure from this calculator is gross, before tax and deductions. Your take-home hourly rate is lower and depends on your tax bracket, benefits, and where you live. Use the gross figure to compare jobs, since it removes personal tax differences from the comparison.

Turning your hourly wage back into a salary

If you have an hourly rate and want the yearly figure instead, the math runs the other way. Multiply your hourly rate by your weekly hours, then by the weeks you work in a year. To see every pay period at once, including daily and biweekly, use the annual income calculator.
