Salary to Hourly Calculator

Convert an annual salary into an equivalent hourly wage.

How Does This Calculator Work?

The calculator divides annual salary by the total hours worked in a year (weekly hours × 52 weeks), to find the equivalent hourly rate.

The reverse of our Hourly to Salary Calculator — find out what an annual salary works out to per hour, based on your typical weekly hours.

Example Calculation

Full-Time Example

A $52,000 salary, 40 hours per week.

52000/(40×52) = $25.00 per hour.

Tips

This is a gross, before-tax estimate that assumes no unpaid time off — if you get 2 unpaid weeks off per year, use 50 instead of 52 for a more realistic figure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this account for paid time off?

No — it assumes 52 working weeks per year. If your salary includes paid vacation, your effective hourly rate for hours actually worked is technically a bit higher than this result.
