How do I convert an annual salary to an hourly rate?

Divide the annual salary by the hours worked in a year (weekly hours × weeks per year). At the standard 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours, a $52,000 salary is $25.00 per hour.

How many work hours are in a year?

Full-time is usually 2,080 hours (40 hours × 52 weeks). Adjust the weekly hours or weeks worked to match part-time or seasonal schedules.

Does this calculator show take-home pay?

No, it converts gross salary to an equivalent hourly, weekly, and monthly figure before taxes. Take-home depends on federal, state, and FICA withholding specific to each employee.

How do I turn an hourly rate back into a salary?

Multiply the hourly rate by weekly hours and weeks worked per year. $25/hour × 40 × 52 = $52,000 a year.
