Salary-to-Hourly Calculator

Enter an annual salary and your work schedule to convert it into an hourly equivalent, a weekly equivalent, and the annual hours used. Free and instant — the calculation runs in your browser with no sign-up.

The annual amount to convert, in the same currency you use throughout. If this is a gross salary, the result is a gross base-pay equivalent.
Adjust this to match the schedule you want to use for the conversion.
52 represents a full-year schedule. Adjust this if you want the conversion based on a different number of working weeks.

How to convert annual salary to hourly pay

The calculator first works out how many hours you work in a year, then divides the annual salary by that number of hours:

  • Annual work hours = hours per week × weeks per year
  • Hourly equivalent = annual salary ÷ annual work hours
  • Weekly equivalent = annual salary ÷ weeks per year

Adjust the work schedule to match your situation

The defaults of 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year equal 2,080 annual hours, but both values are editable — the calculator always derives the annual hours from the numbers you enter, not a fixed 2,080. A 37.5-hour week, part-time hours, and a work-year of fewer than 52 weeks are all supported, and decimal values such as 48.5 weeks are allowed.

Use the number of weeks you want included in the annual-hours calculation. Paid leave and other schedule differences can affect how you interpret the hourly equivalent, so the right denominator depends on the comparison you are making.

What the hourly equivalent does not include

This is a simple salary-to-time conversion based on the annual amount and work schedule you enter. It does not subtract taxes or withholding, and it does not add benefits, bonuses, commissions, equity, or other compensation. It does not apply overtime rules, and it does not convert currencies — the hourly and weekly results use the same currency as the annual salary you enter.
