Does this include overtime pay?

No — this is a straight gross-pay conversion at your stated hourly rate for all counted hours. If you regularly work overtime at a premium rate, your real annual total would be higher than this simple conversion shows.

What should I put for 'paid weeks per year' if my PTO is paid?

If your time off is paid (as most salaried and many hourly benefits packages are), count it as a paid week — use 52 unless you have genuinely unpaid time off.

Does this calculate take-home pay?

No — this is a gross-pay conversion only. Taxes, benefits deductions, and other withholding all reduce actual take-home pay below any figure shown here.

Why would I convert salary to hourly instead of the other way?

Useful when comparing a salaried job offer against an hourly/contract offer on an apples-to-apples basis, or when negotiating a rate for reduced/part-time hours based on a known full-time salary.

Is 40 hours/week always 'full-time'?

It's the most common U.S. convention, but full-time thresholds can vary by employer or by legal definition (e.g., for benefits eligibility) — adjust the hours field to match your actual schedule.

About the Hourly to Salary Converter

Converts between an hourly rate and an equivalent annual salary, accounting for hours worked per week and paid weeks per year — so a part-time schedule or unpaid time off gets a realistic conversion, not just a blind ×2,080.

How to use it

Choose whether you know your hourly rate or your annual salary.
Enter that value, plus your hours worked per week.
Enter your paid weeks per year — 52 minus any unpaid weeks off.
Read the equivalent value, plus weekly, bi-weekly, and monthly breakdowns.

Formula

Total paid hours per year = hours per week × paid weeks per year. Annual salary = hourly rate × total paid hours (or, converting the other way: hourly rate = annual salary ÷ total paid hours). Weekly = hourly rate × hours per week. Bi-weekly = weekly × 2. Monthly = annual ÷ 12.

Worked example

A $25/hour rate at 40 hours/week for the full 52 paid weeks: an equivalent annual salary of $52,000, or about $4,333/month.

Interpreting your result

This is a gross-pay conversion only, using the standard 40×52 = 2,080-hour full-time convention, adjustable here for part-time schedules or unpaid time off. It does not account for overtime pay, employer-specific paid-time-off patterns, holidays, bonuses, or tax withholding — actual take-home pay will differ. Paid weeks per year should reflect actually-paid time, so if your 'time off' is itself paid (most salaried PTO), you'd typically still count it as a paid week.

Recommendations

• If you have unpaid weeks off (common for some hourly/part-time or contract work), lower 'paid weeks per year' below 52 — this tool then shows both your actual annual total and what the full-52-week figure would be, so you can see the gap.
• This is a straightforward gross-pay conversion — it doesn't include overtime premiums, which a true hourly worker often earns for hours beyond 40/week.
• Remember taxes reduce take-home pay below any of these gross figures — this tool doesn't estimate withholding.

Frequently asked questions

2,080 (40×52) is the standard full-time convention, but many people work part-time hours or have unpaid weeks off — this tool lets you adjust both hours per week and paid weeks per year to get an accurate conversion for your actual schedule.
