Hourly to Salary Calculator
Runs in your browser — your data is never uploaded.
Job ads quote one number and people think in the other. Enter an hourly rate to see the salary it adds up to, or a salary to see the hourly rate behind it — plus every pay period in between. Unpaid weeks off are a field rather than an assumption, because 40 hours across 50 paid weeks is not the same job as 40 across 52. Every figure is gross pay.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert an hourly wage to a yearly salary?+
Multiply the hourly rate by the hours you work each week, then by the number of weeks you are paid for. At $25 an hour, 40 hours a week and 52 paid weeks, that is $52,000 a year. The shortcut of "double it and add three zeros" ($50,000 here) is close but runs about 4% light.
Why is the monthly figure not the weekly figure times four?+
Because a month is about 4.33 weeks, not four. This calculator divides the annual total by 12 for monthly, by 24 for semi-monthly and by 26 for bi-weekly — which is how payroll actually cuts the cheques. Multiplying the weekly figure by four understates monthly pay by roughly 8%.
What should I put for paid weeks per year?+
52 if your holiday and sick leave are paid, which is normal for salaried roles. Lower it for unpaid time: an hourly worker taking two unpaid weeks is paid for 50, and the same rate then produces a salary $2,000 lower on a $52,000 job. This single field is the most common reason two calculators disagree.
Is this take-home pay?+
No — every figure here is gross, before federal and state tax, Social Security, Medicare, insurance and retirement contributions. Take-home is typically 20–35% lower and depends on your state and filing status. Budget against a real payslip, not against this.
