How this salary to hourly calculator works

The math is straightforward and fully visible.

Annual hours = hours per week x weeks per year

Hourly rate = annual pay / annual hours

Weekly pay (hourly mode) = (hourly rate x regular hours) + (hourly rate x overtime multiplier x overtime hours)

  • Bi-weekly pay uses two weeks of pay.
  • Semi-monthly pay assumes 24 pay periods per year.
  • Monthly pay is annual pay divided by 12.

If you add a bonus, it is included in the annual total and spread across the period outputs.

Example conversions

Use these examples to sanity-check your results.

Salary to hourly example

$60,000 salary, 40 hours per week, 52 paid weeks.

  • Annual hours = 40 x 52 = 2,080.
  • Hourly rate = $60,000 / 2,080 = $28.85.
  • Weekly pay = $60,000 / 52 = $1,153.85.

Hourly to salary with overtime

$22 per hour, 40 regular hours, 5 overtime hours, 1.5x overtime, 52 weeks.

  • Weekly pay = (22 x 40) + (22 x 1.5 x 5) = $1,045.
  • Annual pay = $1,045 x 52 = $54,340.
  • Bi-weekly pay = $1,045 x 2 = $2,090.

Salary to hourly insights

Quick context to help you interpret the results.

Hours per week matter

The same salary looks very different at 35 vs 45 hours per week. Use your real schedule.

Paid weeks change the math

If you have unpaid time off, reduce weeks per year so your hourly estimate is realistic.

Overtime policies vary

Many roles do not receive overtime. Only include overtime hours if you are actually paid for them. For the overtime math, see gross pay with overtime.

Bonus pay is optional

Include bonuses or commissions if they are predictable. Otherwise leave them out for a cleaner base rate.

Bi-weekly vs semi-monthly

Bi-weekly usually means 26 checks per year. Semi-monthly means 24 checks, so each check is larger.

Gross vs take-home

This calculator is pre-tax. Benefits, taxes, and deductions will lower your take-home pay.

Salary to hourly calculator FAQs

Click a question to expand the answer.

Is this gross pay or take-home pay?

This calculator shows gross pay before taxes, benefits, and deductions. Use it as a pre-tax estimate only. For the base formula, see gross pay from an hourly wage.

Why do bi-weekly and semi-monthly pay amounts differ?

Bi-weekly pay assumes 2-week periods, which usually means 26 paychecks per year. Semi-monthly uses 24 pay periods, so each check is larger.

How is overtime handled?

Overtime pay is calculated by multiplying your hourly rate by the overtime multiplier and the overtime hours you enter. If you do not receive overtime, leave overtime hours at 0.

What should I use for weeks per year?

Use 52 for a full year of pay. If you have unpaid time off or seasonal work, reduce the weeks per year to match the weeks you are actually paid.

Does this use 2,080 or 2,087 hours?

The calculator lets you set hours per week and weeks per year. 2,080 hours comes from 40 hours x 52 weeks, while some federal overtime rules reference 2,087 hours. Use the values that match your employer's policy.

Can I use this for part-time or multiple jobs?

Yes. Enter your actual hours and weeks. For multiple jobs, run each job separately and add the totals.
