Hourly to Salary Calculator
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 turn an hourly wage into a yearly salary, multiply your rate by your weekly hours, then by the weeks you work in a year. At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, that is 2,080 hours. So $20 an hour is $41,600 a year. The calculator above does this for any wage, and the chart below covers the most searched rates.
How do you convert an hourly wage to a salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work each week, then by the number of weeks you work in a year. The standard full-time year is 40 hours a week across 52 weeks, which is 2,080 hours. So the formula is: yearly salary = hourly rate × 2,080.
Example: $25 an hour multiplied by 2,080 hours is $52,000 a year. If your hours differ, replace 2,080 with your own total. Someone working 30 hours a week gets a smaller yearly figure for the same rate, because they work fewer hours.

What is $45 an hour a year?
$45 an hour is $93,600 a year at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. That is $1,800 a week and $7,800 a month before tax. If you work fewer weeks or hours, the yearly figure drops in proportion.
What is $28 an hour a year?
$28 an hour is $58,240 a year on a standard full-time schedule. That works out to $1,120 a week and about $4,853 a month. It is one of the most searched wage conversions because $28 sits close to the US median hourly pay.
What is $20 an hour a year?
$20 an hour is $41,600 a year at 40 hours a week across 52 weeks. That is $800 a week and roughly $3,467 a month. Drop to 30 hours a week and the same rate gives $31,200 a year.
How many work hours are in a year?
A full-time work year is 2,080 hours, from 40 hours a week times 52 weeks. This is the figure most hourly to salary conversions use. If you take unpaid weeks off, your total is lower. Working 50 paid weeks gives 2,000 hours, which lowers your yearly salary for the same hourly rate.
Does the salary change if I take unpaid time off?
Yes. Unpaid weeks reduce your yearly total because you are working fewer hours. At $22 an hour, a full 52-week year is $45,760. Take two unpaid weeks and you work 50 weeks, which brings it to $44,000. Paid time off does not lower the figure, since you still earn during those weeks. Adjust the weeks per year in the calculator to match your real schedule.
How to convert an hourly wage for part-time work
Use your real weekly hours instead of 40. At $20 an hour, 25 hours a week for 52 weeks is $26,000 a year, not $41,600. Part-time hourly wages convert to smaller yearly salaries because you work fewer hours, even though the rate is the same. Open the hours and weeks section in the calculator to enter your schedule.
Why turn an hourly wage into a salary?
A yearly figure is easier to plan around. Rent, loans, and budgets are usually annual or monthly, so seeing your hourly rate as a salary helps you compare against those costs. It also makes it simple to weigh an hourly job against a salaried offer, since both end up in the same yearly unit.
Is the salary before or after tax?
The salary this calculator shows is gross, before tax and deductions. Your take-home pay is lower and depends on your tax bracket, benefits, and location. Use the gross figure when comparing jobs, because it strips out personal tax differences and shows the raw earning power of the wage.
Turning a salary back into an hourly wage
If you already have a yearly salary and want the hourly rate, the math runs the other way. Divide the salary by your yearly hours. To see your pay across every period at once, including daily and biweekly, use the annual income calculator.
