Defaults to $60,000 per year — about $28.85 an hour at 40 hours a week.

Pay period

Assumes 2,080 paid hours a year (52 weeks a year). This converts gross pay only — it does not deduct taxes.

Salary to Hourly Conversion

A salary tells you what you earn over a period. An hourly rate puts that gross pay in terms of time worked, which can help when you compare a salary with an hourly offer.

Hours matter. A $60,000 salary spread over 50 hours a week has a lower hourly equivalent than the same salary spread over 30 hours. Set your hours per week and weeks per year above to use your own schedule.

How to Convert Salary to Hourly Pay

To convert a salary to an hourly rate, divide the annual pay by your total working hours in a year:

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

At the default 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, that is 2080 paid hours, so the shortcut is simply to divide by 2,080:

Hourly rate = Annual salary ÷ 2,080

At $60,000 a year, 30 hours a week works out to $38.46 an hour; 50 hours a week works out to $23.08. Both use the same annual salary and 52 working weeks.

How to Convert Hourly Pay to Salary

To convert an hourly rate to an annual salary, multiply by the same total hours:

Annual salary = Hourly rate × Hours per week × Weeks per year

At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, multiply the hourly rate by 2,080. The result is gross pay, before federal and state taxes or FICA.
