Does this show take-home pay?

No, all figures are gross pay before federal and state income taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and any deductions. Your actual take-home pay will be lower.

How do I account for unpaid time off?

Reduce the weeks-per-year input. For example, if you take 2 unpaid weeks, enter 50 instead of 52. If your vacation is paid, keep it at 52.

Does it include overtime?

No. The calculation assumes straight-time pay for all hours. Overtime (typically 1.5× in the US for non-exempt workers over 40 hours/week) is not factored in.

About this tool

Comparing a salaried job offer with an hourly one? Converting between annual salary and hourly wage is simple math, but getting it right matters, especially when hours or unpaid time off differ from the standard 40-hour, 52-week year. This calculator handles both directions: annual to hourly and hourly to annual, using your actual schedule.

Enter your pay and work schedule, and you will instantly see the converted rate plus gross paycheck estimates for monthly, biweekly, and weekly pay cycles. That makes it easy to sanity-check a job offer: a $25/hour offer at 40 hours a week is $52,000 a year, before taxes, which you can compare directly against a salaried offer.

How to use the salary calculator

1Choose a direction: annual salary → hourly, or hourly wage → annual.
2Enter your salary or hourly wage, plus hours worked per week.
3Set weeks worked per year (52 for full-time, fewer if you take unpaid time off).
4See your converted rate instantly with monthly, biweekly, and weekly paycheck estimates.

Good to know

Everything is computed in your browser with no data collection. Keep in mind the results are gross pay: taxes, Social Security, Medicare, retirement contributions, and health premiums all come out afterward. Use the numbers as a starting point for budgeting and negotiation, not as your expected bank deposit.

Frequently asked questions

Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). For a $80,000 salary at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, that is $80,000 ÷ 2,080 hours = $38.46 per hour.
