How It Works

This calculator uses the standard hourly-to-annual conversion formula:

Estimated Annual Salary = Hourly Rate x Hours per Week x Weeks per Year

The default assumptions are 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year, which equals 2,080 work hours per year. You can adjust both values for part-time schedules or different work-year lengths.

Periodic breakdowns are derived from the estimated annual figure:

  • Monthly = Estimated Annual Salary / 12
  • Biweekly = Estimated Annual Salary / 26
  • Weekly = Estimated Annual Salary / 52

To convert in the opposite direction, the formula is rearranged:

Estimated Hourly Rate = Annual Salary / (Hours per Week x Weeks per Year)

Worked Example

For $25/hour at 40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year: Annual salary = $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000. Monthly income = $52,000 / 12 ≈ $4,333. Biweekly paycheck = $52,000 / 26 = $2,000. For part-time at 30 hours: $25 × 30 × 52 = $39,000 per year.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many work hours are in a year?
The standard assumption is 2,080 hours per year (40 hours per week x 52 weeks). This calculator lets you adjust both hours per week and weeks per year for more precise estimates.
Does this calculator account for taxes?
No. This calculator converts between gross hourly and gross annual figures. Your net (take-home) pay will be lower after federal, state, and local taxes, plus any deductions. Use a salary take-home calculator for after-tax estimates.
What if I work more or fewer than 40 hours per week?
Adjust the 'Hours per week' field to match your schedule. Part-time workers might enter 20 or 25 hours. The calculator will recalculate all estimates automatically.
How is biweekly pay calculated?
Biweekly pay is the estimated annual salary divided by 26, since there are 26 biweekly pay periods in a year (52 weeks / 2).
