    FAQ

    Hourly to salary — quick answers

    How do I convert hourly wage to annual salary?+

    Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply by 52 (weeks in a year). For example, $25/hour at 40 hours/week equals $52,000 per year. Adjust weeks downward if you take unpaid time off.

    How many work hours are in a year?+

    A standard full-time year is 2,080 hours (40 hours/week times 52 weeks). If you take two weeks of unpaid vacation, use 2,000 hours (50 weeks). This calculator lets you customize weeks per year for accuracy.

    Does this hourly to salary conversion include overtime?+

    No. This calculator converts your base hourly rate to a straight-time annual salary. Overtime (typically 1.5x your rate for hours over 40/week under the FLSA) would increase your actual annual earnings beyond what is shown here.

    What is $20 an hour as an annual salary?+

    $20/hour working 40 hours per week for 52 weeks equals $41,600 per year before taxes. Your take-home pay will be lower after federal income tax, FICA, and any state or local taxes.

    How do I account for paid time off in salary conversion?+

    If your employer provides paid time off, keep weeks per year at 52 — you are still earning during PTO. Only reduce weeks if time off is unpaid. For example, two weeks of unpaid leave means 50 working weeks and a lower effective annual salary.
