How to Convert Salaries
Converting between different salary formats helps you compare job offers and understand your true earnings.
Hourly to Annual
Multiply hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year
Example: $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000
Annual to Hourly
Divide annual salary by (hours per week × weeks per year)
Example: $52,000 ÷ (40 × 52) = $25/hour
Annual to Monthly
Divide annual salary by 12
Example: $52,000 ÷ 12 = $4,333/month
Salary Conversion Formulas
Annual = Hourly × Hours/Week × Weeks/Year
Monthly = Annual ÷ 12
Bi-Weekly = Annual ÷ 26
Weekly = Annual ÷ 52
Daily = Weekly ÷ 5
Hourly = Annual ÷ (Hours/Week × Weeks/Year)
Important Considerations
- Taxes: These calculations show gross pay, not take-home pay after taxes
- Benefits: Salaried positions often include health insurance, retirement matching, and PTO
- Overtime: Hourly workers may earn overtime pay (1.5× rate) for hours over 40
- Paid Time Off: Adjust weeks per year if you get paid vacation/sick leave
- Part-time: Adjust hours per week for part-time positions
- Contract work: Self-employed individuals must consider self-employment taxes
