Annual Salary to Hourly Calculator
Salaries and hourly wages are the same money expressed differently. This calculator converts your annual salary into hourly, weekly, and monthly figures — useful for comparing job offers.
How this calculator works
The calculator divides your annual salary by the number of paid weeks to get weekly pay, then by hours per week to get the hourly rate. Monthly pay is the salary divided by 12. The effective hourly rate is the honest comparison tool: a $60,000 salary working 50-hour weeks is worth less per hour than a $55,000 salary at 40 hours.
Frequently asked questions
How do I compare a salary to an hourly job offer?
Convert both to the same unit. Multiply the hourly rate by your actual hours per week and 52 weeks to get an annual equivalent — and remember to count unpaid time off and commuting when comparing two offers.
What is the difference between gross and net?
This calculator shows gross pay — before taxes, benefits, and retirement contributions. Use the take-home pay calculator to see what actually lands in your bank account.
Why use 52 weeks instead of 50?
52 weeks is the standard for salaried conversion. If you get unpaid time off, use your actual paid weeks — that makes the hourly rate comparison fair between two offers.
