Convert between annual salary and hourly rate with adjustments for work hours, overtime, and benefits.
Type your annual salary or hourly wage amount.
Enter hours per week and weeks per year for accuracy.
See the equivalent hourly, weekly, monthly, and annual rates.
A salary and an hourly wage are the same number written two ways, and this tool moves between them: it divides annual pay by the hours actually worked to get a rate, or multiplies a rate by those hours to get an annual figure. You set the hours per week and weeks per year, so the result follows your real schedule instead of a national default. The part that surprises people is the direction of the error: enter unpaid time off as work, and the converted rate comes out too low to compare honestly against an hourly job.
A concrete input and expected output from the current implementation.
Input
Annual salary: $52,000 | Hours per week: 40 | Weeks per year: 52 | Overtime: none
Expected output
Hourly: $25.00 | Weekly: $1,000.00 | Biweekly: $2,000.00 | Monthly: $4,333.33
40 x 52 = 2,080 hours per year, and 52,000 / 2,080 = 25, so the hourly equivalent is exactly $25.00. The weekly, biweekly, and monthly rows are the same salary divided by 52, 26, and 12 pay periods.
Forward direction: annual salary divided by (hours per week times weeks per year). The default is 40 times 52, or 2,080 hours, the standard full-time work-year figure. Reverse direction: multiply the hourly rate by the same product. All output rows, hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly, and annual, derive from the same two inputs, so changing weeks worked recalculates every row consistently.
Weeks per year is the lever for unpaid time off: entering 50 weeks instead of 52 spreads the same salary over fewer hours and raises the effective hourly rate. Overtime works two ways: paid overtime adds extra hours valued at 1.5 times the base rate, while unpaid overtime spreads salary across more hours and lowers the effective rate. Benefits enter as an annual add-on to salary before the division.
2,080 is the shortcut: 40 hours times 52 weeks with no leap year. The U.S. federal figure is 2,087.2 hours, which accounts for leap years, and the Office of Personnel Management uses it to compute hourly equivalents of federal salaries. The difference is about 0.35 percent, so it changes the result by cents. Enter whichever divisor your employer uses when the exact figure matters.
Add the annual value of benefits as an add-on to salary, and enter the hours you actually work per week. For paid overtime, extra hours are valued at 1.5 times the base rate; for unpaid overtime, entering the real hours shows the effective rate you earn per hour worked. The result is an estimate of equivalence, not a formal total-compensation statement.
