Overview
What this calculator does

The math
The conversions
Hourly to annual
annual = hourly × hours per week × weeks per year. At $25/hour, 40 hours, 52 weeks: 25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000.
Annual to hourly
hourly = annual ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). A $60,000 salary at 40 hours, 52 weeks: 60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85.
Other periods
- Weekly = annual ÷ 52
- Bi-weekly = annual ÷ 26 (every two weeks)
- Monthly = annual ÷ 12
- Daily = annual ÷ (days per week × weeks per year)

Getting an accurate result
Choosing hours and weeks
- 40 hours/week is standard full-time in most countries (some use 35-38)
- 52 weeks if you're salaried with paid vacation
- 50 weeks if you take ~2 weeks of unpaid leave and only count worked weeks
- Adjust days per week for compressed or part-time schedules
A standard full-time year is 2,080 hours (40 × 52). Part-time and shift work differ — enter your real numbers for an accurate conversion.

Common questions
What is $20 an hour annually?
About $41,600 a year before tax, at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. At 50 worked weeks it's $40,000.
What hourly rate is a $50,000 salary?
About $24.04 an hour, based on 2,080 hours a year (40 × 52). Fewer hours per week raise the effective hourly rate.
How much is $25 an hour per month?
About $4,333 a month before tax — that's $52,000 a year divided by 12. Note this is the monthly average; actual paychecks vary if you're paid weekly or bi-weekly.
Is bi-weekly the same as twice a month?
No. Bi-weekly is every two weeks — 26 paychecks a year. Semi-monthly is twice a month — 24 paychecks a year. Two months a year have three bi-weekly paychecks, which can feel like a bonus.
How do I compare two job offers?
Convert both to the same period (annual is easiest), then factor in benefits, paid time off, bonuses, and cost of living. A higher headline salary isn't always the better offer once benefits and taxes are considered.
