Hourly to Salary Calculator
Turn an hourly rate into annual, monthly, and weekly gross pay — overtime included at the multiplier you set — then hand the result to the Take-Home Pay Calculator for the after-tax truth.
Hourly → salary
Example: $25.00/hour at 40 hours → $52,000 a year.
The 2,080-hour year
A $25.00 hourly rate over the standard 40-hour week is $1,000.00 a week — $52,000 a year across 52 weeks, or $4,333.33 a month. Add five overtime hours a week at time-and-a-half and the annual figure jumps to $61,750 — overtime's leverage is exactly why hourly workers track it so carefully. Every figure is computed by the same tested engine as the calculator above.
Comparing hourly against salaried offers
Two adjustments make the comparison honest. First, benefits: paid vacation, employer health premiums, and retirement matches ride along with many salaried roles but must be self-funded from an hourly rate. Second, taxes: gross pay is the negotiating number, take-home is the living number — run both offers through the Take-Home Pay Calculator to compare what actually arrives.
Frequently asked questions
What is the quick rule of thumb?
For a standard 40-hour week, annual salary ≈ hourly rate × 2,080 (52 weeks × 40 hours) — or, mentally, double the rate and add three zeros: $25/hour ≈ $50,000-plus. The calculator does the exact version and adds overtime.
How is overtime counted?
US federal law (the FLSA) requires non-exempt employees be paid at least 1.5× their regular rate for hours over 40 in a week; some states and contracts pay more, so the multiplier is adjustable. Regular overtime dramatically moves annual income — 5 hours a week at time-and-a-half on $25/hour adds nearly $10,000 a year.
Does this account for unpaid time off?
It assumes 52 paid weeks. If you take unpaid weeks, multiply your weekly pay by the weeks you actually work. Salaried roles with paid vacation effectively bake this in, which is worth remembering when comparing hourly offers against salaried ones.
Is this before or after taxes?
Before — this converts an hourly rate to GROSS pay. For what actually lands in your account after federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare, feed the annual figure into our Take-Home Pay Calculator.
