What Is a Salary to Hourly Conversion?

A salary is a fixed amount for a year, often paid monthly or every two weeks. Turning it into an hourly rate shows what your time is worth, and lets you compare a salaried job with an hourly one or with freelance work.

  • Hourly rate: the salary divided by every paid hour in the year, 2,080 for a 40-hour week. This is the usual way to compare jobs.
  • Per hour actually worked: a salary also pays for vacation, holidays and sick days. Divide by the hours you really work and each one earns more.
  • Longer weeks: a salary doesn't grow when you work late, so 50-hour weeks lower your real hourly rate.

How to Calculate Hourly Pay From a Salary

Divide the yearly salary by the hours you're paid for in a year:

Hourly= salaryhours a week×52

For what you earn per hour actually worked, take your paid days off out of the hours:

Per hour worked= salaryhours worked
  • Salary: yearly pay. For other periods, multiply first: monthly × 12, twice a month × 24, every two weeks × 26, weekly × 52.
  • Hours a week: usually 40. Paid hours in a year are hours a week × 52.
  • Hours worked: paid hours minus paid days off × hours a day. Days off are paid vacation, holidays and sick days in a year.
  • Hours a day: hours a week ÷ days a week, 8 on a 5-day week.

Example

  • $60,000 a year: 60,000 ÷ (40 × 52) = 60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85 an hour.
  • With 20 paid days off: 2,080 − 20 × 8 = 1,920 hours worked, so 60,000 ÷ 1,920 = $31.25 per hour worked.
  • $5,000 a month: 5,000 × 12 = $60,000 a year, the same $28.85 an hour.

A quick rule: on a 40-hour week, halve the salary and drop three zeros. $60,000 a year is about $30 an hour (exactly $28.85).

How to Use the Salary to Hourly Calculator

"I'm paid $60,000 a year with 20 paid days off. What's my hourly rate, and what do I really earn per hour I work?" This calculator answers that.

Let's enter the numbers for this example in each box. They are already filled in when the calculator opens, so you can follow along and then change any box to match your own pay.

  • Salary: Enter 60,000.00, which is your pay for one salary period. It must be more than 0 and less than $1 billion.
  • Salary Period: Choose Yearly. Monthly, Twice a month, Every two weeks and Weekly work too.
  • Hours per Week: Enter 40, the hours you work in a normal week. Up to 168, and no more than 24 a day.
  • Days per Week: Enter 5, the days you work in a week. It sets how long a day off is. Up to 7.
  • Paid Days Off: Enter 20, which is your paid vacation, holidays and sick days in a year. Enter 0 to skip it. It must be fewer than your work days (260 on a 5-day week).
