Salary Calculator
Converting a salary into an hourly rate makes it easier to compare job offers with different structures, estimate the value of your time or figure out what a raise or bonus actually means per hour worked.
The formula
hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × 52)
Worked example
A $60,000 salary at 40 hours per week:
60,000 ÷ (40 × 52) = 60,000 ÷ 2,080 ≈ $28.85/hr
Frequently asked questions
How many weeks does this calculator assume per year?
52 weeks, the standard full calendar year. If you take significant unpaid time off, your effective hourly rate from actual paid hours will be a bit higher than this estimate.
Does this account for taxes?
No — this shows your gross hourly equivalent before taxes, benefits or other deductions. Use a take-home pay calculator for a post-tax estimate.
What if I work a different schedule, like 35 or 45 hours a week?
Enter your actual weekly hours — the calculation adjusts automatically. A $60,000 salary at 35 hours/week works out to a higher hourly rate than the same salary at 45 hours/week.
