These are gross figures, before tax, pension and any deductions — your take-home will be lower. Drop the weeks below 52 to model unpaid leave; paid holiday is already inside a salary, so leave it at 52 for salaried work.

Overview

What is a Salary to Hourly Calculator?

A Salary to Hourly Calculator converts an annual salary into an hourly wage and back, and shows the weekly and monthly equivalents too. It divides the yearly pay by your working hours: hourly = annual ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). Enter any pay figure and your hours and it converts across all periods, in your browser. Figures are gross (pre-tax).

Comparing a salaried job to an hourly one, or a freelance rate to a full-time package, means converting between pay periods — and that depends on how many hours you actually work.

This calculator converts in any direction (annual, monthly, weekly, hourly) based on your hours per week and weeks per year. It runs entirely in your browser, so your pay details stay private.

Converting pay — and why hours matter

All pay-period conversions hinge on your total working hours. To turn an annual salary into an hourly rate, divide by the hours you work in a year: hourly = annual ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). At a standard 40 hours over 52 weeks (2,080 hours), a $52,000 salary is $25/hour. Going the other way, annual = hourly × hours per week × weeks per year. Weekly and monthly follow from there (annual ÷ 52 and annual ÷ 12). Two inputs change the answer a lot. Hours per week: part-time or overtime shifts the hourly equivalent significantly, so a salary that looks generous can be a modest hourly rate if it demands long hours. Weeks per year: salaried roles usually pay for 52 weeks including paid leave, but if you want to value only paid working weeks (for a contractor without paid time off), reduce the weeks — fewer weeks means a higher effective hourly rate for the same annual figure. A clear honest note: these are gross, pre-tax figures. Your actual take-home (net) pay is lower after income tax, social-security/national-insurance, retirement contributions, and other deductions, which vary by location and circumstances and aren't calculated here. Use this to compare offers on a like-for-like gross basis. Everything computes locally in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert salary to hourly pay?

Divide the annual salary by your total yearly hours: hourly = annual ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). At 40 hours over 52 weeks (2,080 hours), $52,000 a year is $25 an hour. The calculator does this and also shows the weekly and monthly equivalents.

How do I convert hourly to an annual salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per week and the weeks per year: annual = hourly × hours/week × weeks/year. $25/hour at 40 hours for 52 weeks is $52,000. Enter your hourly rate and hours and the calculator gives the annual, monthly, and weekly figures.

Why do hours per week matter so much?

Because they determine the hourly value of a salary. A $60,000 salary is about $28.85/hour at 40 hours a week but only ~$23/hour at 50 hours — the same pay for more hours is a lower rate. When comparing jobs, factor in the real hours, not just the headline salary, which the calculator lets you do.

Should I use 52 weeks or fewer?

Use 52 for a typical salaried job, where paid time off is included in the annual figure. Use fewer weeks if you want the effective rate over only the weeks you actually work and get paid for — common for contractors without paid leave. Fewer weeks raises the hourly equivalent for the same annual amount.

Are these figures before or after tax?

Before tax — they're gross figures. Your take-home (net) pay is lower after income tax, social security or national insurance, pension/retirement contributions, healthcare, and other deductions, which depend on your country, income, and situation. This calculator converts gross pay between periods; it doesn't compute net pay.

Can it handle part-time hours?

Yes. Enter your actual hours per week — whether that's 20, 30, or any number — and the calculator converts based on that. This is useful for valuing part-time roles or comparing a part-time salary to a full-time one on an hourly basis, where the hours difference is the key factor.

Is it free, and do I need to sign up?

Yes, it's completely free with no account, no trial, and no limit on how many times you use it. It runs entirely in your browser, so there's no sign-in wall — just open the page and calculate.

Is my data private?

Yes. Everything is calculated in your browser — the numbers you enter are never sent to a server, and nothing is stored once you close the tab. That keeps any personal figures (salary, loan, health) on your own device.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. It runs in your phone's browser with nothing to install, so you can calculate on Android or iOS. The layout adapts to small screens, so entering numbers and reading the result is easy on the go.

Does it work offline?

Once the page has loaded, the calculation runs entirely on your device, so it keeps working without a connection. You only need to be online to open the page the first time — which is also why nothing you enter is uploaded.

Can I copy or share the result?

Yes. You can copy the result to your clipboard with one click, and many results can be shared. Because everything is calculated locally, copying is instant with no upload step.

How accurate is it, and is this professional advice?

The math is accurate for the inputs you give, and the formula is shown so you can verify it. But results are estimates for general use, not professional advice — finance calculators use simplified assumptions and ignore fees and rate changes, and health calculators are general estimates, not medical advice. For important decisions, consult a qualified professional.
