  4. 4

    Review annual and periodic pay

    Compare monthly, weekly, and daily equivalents.

How It Is Calculated

Annual salary from hourly pay assumes consistent hours every week of the year unless you reduce weeks worked.

Annual = hourly × hours/week × weeks/year

Worked examples

$22.50/hr, 40 hrs, 52 weeks

Annual ≈ $46,800; monthly ≈ $3,900.

Part-time

$18/hr, 25 hrs, 52 weeks → $23,400/year.

Unpaid time off

$25/hr, 40 hrs, 48 weeks → $48,000 (not $52,000).

When to Use This Calculator

  • Comparing job offers (hourly vs. salary)
  • Freelance rate setting from desired annual income
  • Budgeting gross income before taxes
  • Explaining pay to employees or contractors
  • Checking part-time annual equivalents

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Treating gross annual as take-home pay
  • Ignoring overtime, bonuses, and benefits value
  • Using 40 hours when you regularly work more or less
  • Forgetting unpaid vacation when setting weeks/year

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this include overtime?

Not by default. Enter base hourly rate and standard hours, or use the hourly-to-salary-with-overtime calculator if OT is regular.

What if I have unpaid leave?

Reduce weeks per year (for example 50 instead of 52) to approximate unpaid vacation or seasonal work.

Is this gross or net pay?

All figures are gross before taxes, benefits, and deductions. Use a tax or take-home calculator for net estimates.

Can I convert annual salary to hourly?

Yes—use the salary-to-hourly calculator, or divide annual pay by (hours per week × weeks per year).
