Quick answer
To turn a salary into an hourly wage, divide it by your yearly hours — 2,080 hours for a standard 40-hour week over 52 weeks. So $60,000 ÷ 2,080 ≈ $28.85/hour. To go the other way, multiply the hourly wage by 2,080.
The formula
Hourly wage = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). Annual salary = hourly wage × hours per week × weeks per year. The calculator above does both and shows every pay period.
Common questions
How do I convert a salary to an hourly wage?
Divide the annual salary by the number of hours you work in a year. At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks that is 2,080 hours, so a $60,000 salary is $60,000 ÷ 2,080 ≈ $28.85 an hour.
How do I convert an hourly wage to a salary?
Multiply your hourly wage by the hours you work per week, then by the number of weeks you work per year. For example, $25 an hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000 a year.
Does this account for taxes?
No — this converts gross pay (before tax). To see your take-home pay after federal and state taxes, use our paycheck calculator.
What if I do not work 40 hours or 52 weeks?
Change the "hours per week" and "weeks per year" fields. Lowering weeks per year (for unpaid time off) raises the equivalent hourly rate for the same salary.
