How to convert salary to hourly pay

To calculate your hourly wage from an annual salary, divide your annual salary by the total number of hours you work during the year.

Hourly wage = Annual salary ÷ (Hours per week × Weeks per year)

Example

If you earn $60,000 per year and work 40 hours per week for 52 weeks:

$60,000 ÷ (40 × 52) = $28.85 per hour

This calculator estimates gross pay before taxes, deductions, insurance, retirement contributions, or other payroll adjustments.

Why hours per week and weeks per year matter

The same annual salary can produce a different effective hourly rate when the work schedule changes. A person working 40 hours per week for 52 weeks works 2,080 hours per year, while fewer weeks or fewer weekly hours increase the calculated hourly equivalent for the same annual salary.
