Salary to Hourly Converter
Convert between salary and hourly pay in any direction. Customize hours per week and weeks per year to match your actual schedule.
How to use this calculator
1. Pick a direction
Switch the tab to convert from salary to hourly (most common) or from hourly back to salary.
2. Set hours and weeks
Default is 40 hours × 52 weeks. Adjust to match your actual schedule — part-time, 4-day weeks, or paid time off all change the comparison.
3. Read all four cards
The grid shows the same compensation as hourly, daily (8-hour day), weekly, and monthly equivalents — useful when comparing offers stated in different formats.
Salaried vs. hourly tradeoffs
Salaried roles typically don't pay overtime but offer more predictable income and benefits. Hourly roles get overtime (usually 1.5×) past 40 hours per week but may have less stable hours.
About the math
The formula
Hourly = Annual ÷ (hours/week × weeks/year). At 40 × 52 = 2,080 hours per year, $75,000 ÷ 2,080 ≈ $36.06/hour.
Why "52 weeks" sometimes lies
If you take 2 weeks unpaid leave, your real working weeks are 50 — entering 50 weeks bumps the implied hourly rate to show what you actually earn per hour worked.
