What Is the Hourly to Annual Salary Calculator?
This calculator converts an hourly wage into an equivalent gross annual salary, along with monthly and weekly figures. It's perfect for comparing job offers, budgeting, or understanding what a contract or freelance rate adds up to over a full year. The result is your gross pay — before taxes, insurance, and other deductions.
How to Use It
Enter three values: your hourly rate (what you earn per hour), the number of hours you work per week, and the number of weeks you work per year. A standard full-time schedule is 40 hours per week for 52 weeks. If you take unpaid vacation, reduce the weeks figure (e.g. 50 weeks for two unpaid weeks off).
The Formula Explained
The core calculation is simple multiplication:
$$\text{Annual} = \text{Hourly Rate} \times \text{Hours per Week} \times \text{Weeks per Year}$$Monthly pay is the annual figure divided by 12, and weekly pay is the hourly rate multiplied by hours per week.
Worked Example
Suppose you earn $25 per hour, work 40 hours per week, for 52 weeks a year:
$$\text{Annual} = 25 \times 40 \times 52 = \$52{,}000$$$$\text{Monthly} = 52{,}000 \div 12 \approx \$4{,}333.33$$$$\text{Weekly} = 25 \times 40 = \$1{,}000$$
FAQ
Is this before or after taxes? This shows gross pay before any deductions. Your take-home pay will be lower depending on taxes and benefits.
What if I work 37.5 hours a week? Just enter 37.5 in the hours field — the calculator accepts half-hours.
How many weeks should I use? Use 52 for year-round work with paid time off, or fewer weeks if you have unpaid breaks.
