How this calculator works
Enter your annual gross salary before taxes and deductions.
Add the number of hours you usually work each week and the number of weeks you expect to work in a year.
The calculator divides annual pay by total annual work hours, then also shows weekly and monthly gross pay estimates.
Formula
The main salary to hourly conversion uses annual pay divided by total annual work hours.
- Hourly pay = annual salary / (hours per week x weeks per year)
- Weekly pay = annual salary / weeks per year
- Monthly pay = annual salary / 12

Frequently asked questions
What should I enter for weeks per year?
Use 52 if you are paid year-round. Use fewer weeks if you have unpaid time off, seasonal work, or a contract that does not cover the full year.
Does the calculator include overtime?
No. Salary to hourly conversion uses regular annual pay and scheduled hours. Use the overtime calculator for extra-hour scenarios.
Why does my hourly estimate change when I change hours?
The same salary spread across more work hours creates a lower hourly estimate. Fewer annual hours create a higher hourly estimate.
Can I use this for part-time salaried work?
Yes. Enter the part-time salary, expected weekly hours, and expected weeks worked to estimate the hourly equivalent.
