Hourly to Salary Calculator
Wondering what your hourly rate really adds up to in a year? This calculator converts an hourly wage into weekly, biweekly, monthly, and annual income based on your hours per week and weeks worked per year.
How this calculator works
Annual salary is simply your hourly rate multiplied by your hours per week and your weeks per year. The monthly figure divides the annual total by 12, biweekly by 26, and weekly by 52 — these are calendar averages, not the exact number on any single paycheck. If you work 40 hours at $25 for 52 weeks, that is $52,000 a year.
Frequently asked questions
Is $25 an hour a good salary?
At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, $25/hour is $52,000 a year — above the US median personal income, though cost of living varies widely by state and city. The 2026 federal poverty guideline for a single person is $15,650, so $52,000 is roughly 3.3 times that.
Should I count 52 weeks or take out vacation?
If you get paid vacation, your hourly rate already covers those weeks — keep 52. If your job is unpaid time off or seasonal, lower the weeks to what you actually work, because your total income shrinks by that amount.
How do overtime and benefits affect this?
This calculator covers straight-time pay only. Time-and-a-half overtime, bonuses, and the value of employer benefits (health insurance, 401(k) match) are separate — add their annual totals to your salary figure to see the full compensation picture.
