How to convert hourly pay to salary
To estimate an annual salary from an hourly rate, multiply your hourly pay by the number of hours you work each week and then by the number of paid weeks in the year.
Hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks per year = annual gross salary
For example, $25 per hour at 40 hours per week for 52 paid weeks equals $52,000 in gross annual pay before taxes and other deductions.
The same annual amount can then be divided into weekly, biweekly, or monthly equivalents. These figures can help when comparing job offers, estimating yearly earnings, or understanding how an hourly wage compares with a stated annual salary.
How the hourly-to-salary calculator works
Enter your hourly rate, typical hours per week, and paid weeks per year. The calculator uses those values to estimate gross pay for weekly, biweekly, monthly, and annual periods.
The default schedule uses 40 hours per week and 52 paid weeks. You can change either value when your schedule is different, including seasonal work, part-time hours, or unpaid time away from work.
The calculation is based on the schedule you enter rather than assuming that every hourly worker has the same number of paid hours or weeks in a year.
$25 an hour salary example
At 40 hours per week and 52 paid weeks per year, an hourly rate of $25 produces $52,000 in gross annual pay. That works out to $1,000 per week before taxes and other deductions.
If your paid weeks or weekly hours are different, your annual amount will change accordingly.
$30 an hour salary example
At 40 hours per week and 52 paid weeks per year, $30 per hour equals $62,400 in gross annual pay. The equivalent weekly amount is $1,200 before taxes and deductions.
These are gross-pay examples and do not represent take-home pay.
Why paid weeks matter
A 52-week schedule assumes that all 52 weeks are paid. If you have unpaid leave, seasonal work, or another schedule with fewer paid weeks, entering the actual number can give you a more useful annual gross-pay estimate.
The calculator lets you adjust this value instead of forcing a fixed 52-week assumption.
Hourly pay vs. annual salary
Hourly pay is tied to the hours you work, while an annual salary is normally expressed as a yearly gross amount. Converting between the two requires an assumption about weekly hours and paid weeks.
For example, two people earning the same hourly rate can have different annual gross pay if one works fewer hours or has fewer paid weeks during the year.
The figures on this page are gross-pay estimates. They do not subtract federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, state income tax, health insurance, retirement contributions, or other payroll deductions.
What about overtime?
This calculator converts the regular hourly schedule you enter. It does not automatically add overtime premiums to the annual salary estimate.
If overtime is part of your earnings and you want to model time-and-a-half or double-time scenarios, use the Overtime Paycheck Calculator.
Gross salary vs. take-home pay
Gross salary is the amount earned before taxes and other deductions. Take-home pay is the amount remaining after applicable withholding and deductions.
This hourly-to-salary calculator is designed for gross-pay conversion. If you want to estimate what may actually reach your bank account after payroll taxes, use the 2026 Paycheck Calculator.
Hourly-to-salary calculation methodology
The calculator starts with the hourly rate you enter and multiplies it by your weekly hours and paid weeks per year. The resulting annual gross amount is then divided into equivalent weekly, biweekly, and monthly figures.
Annual gross salary
Hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks per year
Pay-period equivalents
Weekly = annual salary ÷ 52
Biweekly = annual salary ÷ 26
Monthly = annual salary ÷ 12
These calculations describe gross-pay equivalents. Actual employer paychecks can differ because of payroll schedules, overtime, unpaid time, benefits, deductions, and other employment-specific factors.
