How to convert salary to hourly pay
Your yearly pay is spread over the hours you actually work in a year. Multiply hours per week by weeks per year to get paid hours, then divide the yearly salary by that number. If your pay is given per month or per two weeks, first turn it into a yearly figure.
Salary to hourly
Yearly pay = pay per period × periods per year
Paid hours per year = hours per week × weeks per year
Hourly rate = yearly pay ÷ paid hours per year
Periods per year: monthly 12, twice a month 24, every two weeks 26, weekly 52.
Hourly to salary
Yearly salary = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year
Monthly pay = yearly salary ÷ 12
Daily pay is weekly pay divided by the days you work each week.
Worked examples
A $75,000 salary, full time
40 hours a week for 52 weeks is 2,080 paid hours, so $75,000 ÷ 2,080.
All figures are before tax.
$25 an hour to a yearly salary
40 hours a week for 52 weeks, so $25 × 2,080.
A $25 hourly wage equals a $52,000 salary at full time.
Two unpaid weeks off
The same $75,000 salary, but only 50 weeks are paid work: 40 × 50 = 2,000 hours.
Fewer paid hours means a higher hourly rate for the same yearly pay.

Where a salary to hourly calculator helps
Comparing job offers
Put a salaried offer and an hourly offer on the same footing.
Freelance and side work

Budgeting
Turn an hourly wage into weekly and monthly pay you can plan around.
Overtime planning
Know your base rate before you work extra hours. Try the overtime calculator.
This tool shows gross pay. Taxes, health insurance and retirement contributions come out of a paycheck, so take-home pay is lower. The optional tax field uses one flat rate for a quick estimate only. Salaried employees may or may not qualify for overtime depending on their job duties and pay, so check with your employer if you are unsure.
