Hourly Wage Calculator

How hourly pay converts to a salary

The core formula is simple: annual pay = hourly rate x hours per week x weeks per year. For a standard full time schedule that is rate x 40 x 52, and 40 x 52 is 2,080 hours, so the shortcut is to multiply any hourly rate by 2,080. At $20 an hour that gives $20 x 2,080 = $41,600 a year.

From the annual figure everything else follows. Monthly pay is annual divided by 12 ($41,600 / 12 = $3,466.67 at $20 an hour). Biweekly pay is two weeks of pay, 80 hours at full time ($1,600.00 at $20 an hour), and there are 26 biweekly paychecks in a year. Weekly pay is one week of hours ($800.00 at $20 an hour), and daily pay on this page is an 8 hour day ($160.00 at $20 an hour).

How overtime works

Overtime hours are paid at 1.5 times the regular rate, often called time and a half. At $20 an hour, each overtime hour pays $30.00. The calculator treats overtime hours as extra hours on top of your regular hours: the overtime inclusive annual total is the regular annual pay plus rate x 1.5 x overtime hours per week x weeks per year. Five overtime hours a week at $20 an hour adds $7,800 a year, for a total of $49,400. Regular weekly overtime is one of the biggest gaps between two jobs that quote the same hourly rate, so it is worth doing this math before comparing an hourly offer to a salary.

Weeks per year and unpaid time off

The standard conversion assumes 52 paid weeks. If you take two unpaid weeks off, use 50 weeks instead: at $20 an hour and 40 hours a week that is $40,000 instead of $41,600. Salaried workers usually keep being paid during time off, while hourly workers often are not, which is why the honest comparison between an hourly job and a salaried job has to count paid time off as well as the headline rate. For a general salary to hourly comparison in the other direction, see our salary calculator, which is the related tool for converting a yearly salary back into an hourly rate.

Gross pay, not take-home pay

Every figure here is gross pay, before taxes and deductions. For an estimate of what actually lands in your account after taxes, see our take-home pay pages and the paycheck calculator.
