Hourly to Salary Calculator
Turn an hourly wage into a yearly, monthly and weekly salary.
About the Hourly to Salary Calculator
Enter your hourly rate, the hours you work each week and the weeks you are paid each year. The calculator shows your yearly salary and what it comes to each month, week and fortnight.
Paid vacation counts as paid weeks, so leave the weeks at 52 if your time off is paid. If you take two weeks of unpaid leave, use 50.
The formula
Salary = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year
- weeks per year
- weeks you are paid for, including paid leave (52 for a full year)
Worked example
$25 an hour, 40 hours a week, paid all year
- 25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 a year
- Monthly: 52,000 ÷ 12 = $4,333.33
- Every two weeks: 52,000 ÷ 26 = $2,000
Things to keep in mind
- Gross pay before tax, so take-home pay is lower.
- Overtime, tips and shift premiums are not included; add them as extra hours or use the Time Card Calculator.
Questions people ask
What's $20 an hour yearly?
$41,600 at 40 hours for 52 weeks.
Quick estimate?
Double the hourly rate and add three zeros: $20 → about $40,000. It works because 40 × 52 = 2,080, close to 2,000.
Why is monthly pay not 4 weeks of pay?
A year has 52 weeks, so a month averages 4.33 weeks. Yearly ÷ 12 gives the true monthly figure.
