The 2-minute guide
The quick mental math
A common shortcut: halve your hourly rate and add three zeros to estimate your yearly salary. $25 an hour is roughly $50,000 a year. It assumes a 40-hour week for about 50 weeks, so it's an estimate, not exact.
Watch the 'paid weeks' number
A standard year is 52 weeks, but if you take unpaid time off, use fewer. Two weeks unpaid means 50 paid weeks, which raises the hourly rate your salary really represents.
Hourly and salaried aren't equal
Salaried roles often include paid time off, benefits and sometimes bonuses that a raw hourly rate ignores. Hourly work can earn overtime. Compare the whole package, not just the converted number.
This is gross, not take-home
Taxes, Social Security, Medicare and any benefits come out before you see the money. Your take-home is meaningfully lower than these figures. Run it through the paycheck calculator to see the real number.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert salary to hourly?
Divide your yearly salary by the number of hours you work in a year. At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks (2,080 hours), a $60,000 salary is about $28.85 an hour.
How do I convert hourly to salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by hours per week and weeks per year. $25 an hour at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is $52,000 a year, before taxes.
How many work hours are in a year?
Full-time is usually counted as 2,080 hours: 40 hours a week times 52 weeks. If you take unpaid time off, it's lower, which changes the hourly-to-salary math.
Is this before or after taxes?
Before. These are gross-pay conversions. Your take-home pay is lower after federal, state, Social Security and Medicare taxes come out. The paycheck calculator shows the after-tax amount.
