Hourly to Salary Calculator
Convert your hourly wage to annual salary, monthly, biweekly, and weekly pay - with a built-in overtime calculator.
⏱️ What is an Hourly to Salary Calculator?
An hourly to salary calculator converts a pay-per-hour rate into equivalent annual, monthly, biweekly, weekly, and daily earnings. It is the essential tool for anyone paid by the hour who wants to understand their total yearly compensation - and for anyone comparing a salaried job offer against their current hourly position.
The core calculation is straightforward: multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work each week, then multiply again by the number of weeks you work per year. Standard full-time employment in the United States uses 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year - a total of 2,080 working hours annually. At $20/hour, that produces an annual equivalent of $41,600. The calculator extends this to every common pay frequency: monthly ($3,467), semi-monthly ($1,733), biweekly ($1,600), weekly ($800), and daily ($160 for an 8-hour workday).
The Overtime Calculator mode addresses a significant real-world gap: most hourly workers do not work exactly 40 hours every week. Under the US Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), any hours beyond 40 per week must be paid at least 1.5× the regular rate. The overtime mode lets you enter your regular hours, overtime hours, and a multiplier (1.5× for time-and-a-half or 2.0× for double time), then produces a full annual breakdown showing regular pay, overtime pay, total annual earnings, and your effective blended hourly rate for the year.
Common uses include evaluating whether to accept a salaried position versus staying hourly, determining whether offered overtime makes a lower base rate more competitive, setting freelance rates high enough to cover the benefits gap, and planning a household budget around actual annual take-home potential. Because overtime pay can meaningfully shift annual earnings - five hours of overtime per week at $25/hr adds nearly $10,000 per year - comparing job offers purely on hourly rate without accounting for overtime opportunity leaves money on the table.

$30/hr — 40 regular hours + 8 OT hours per week — 1.5× — 50 weeks/year
❓ Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply by the number of weeks you work per year. Standard formula: Annual = Hourly × 40 hours × 52 weeks = Hourly × 2,080. For example, $25/hour × 2,080 = $52,000 per year. For non-standard schedules, enter your actual hours and weeks.
How much is $20 an hour annually?
At $20/hour for 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year (2,080 total hours), you earn $41,600 per year. At 50 weeks, that drops to $40,000. Monthly, $20/hr full-time yields about $3,467. Biweekly gross is $1,600.
What is the formula for hourly to salary conversion?
Annual = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year. Common shortcuts: Hourly × 2,080 (standard 40hr/52wk), Hourly × 2,000 (40hr/50wk), or Hourly × 52 for weekly pay. Monthly = Annual ÷ 12. Biweekly = Annual ÷ 26. Semi-monthly = Annual ÷ 24.
How do I calculate overtime pay?
US federal law (FLSA) requires 1.5× your regular rate for all hours over 40 per week. Overtime pay = Regular Rate × 1.5 × Overtime Hours per Week × Weeks Worked. For example, at $20/hr with 5 OT hours per week for 50 weeks: $20 × 1.5 × 5 × 50 = $7,500 additional annual pay.
How much is $15 an hour a year?
$15/hour at standard 40 hours per week for 52 weeks equals $31,200 per year. Monthly: $2,600. Biweekly: $1,200. Weekly: $600. Daily (8-hour day): $120. This is above the federal minimum wage of $7.25/hr but reflects many state minimums as of 2024.
What is the difference between time-and-a-half and double time?
Time-and-a-half means 1.5× your regular rate for overtime hours - standard under US federal law (FLSA) for hours over 40 per week. Double time is 2× your regular rate, typically for holidays or very long shifts. California mandates double time for hours over 12 in a single day and all hours on the seventh consecutive workday. Most other states follow only the federal 1.5× rule.
How many hours is 2,080 per year?
2,080 hours = 40 hours/week × 52 weeks/year. This is the standard full-time work year in the US and is used by the IRS and most employers to convert hourly to annual. Part-time workers calculate their own total: e.g., 20 hours × 52 weeks = 1,040 hours per year.
How much is $50,000 a year per hour?
At 2,080 hours (40 hr/week, 52 weeks), $50,000 ÷ 2,080 = $24.04/hour. At 2,000 hours (40 hr/week, 50 weeks), it is exactly $25.00/hour. Use the Salary to Hourly Calculator on this site to reverse the calculation for any salary amount.
Does the calculator work for part-time jobs?
Yes. Simply enter your actual hours per week in the Hours per Week field. A part-time worker at 20 hours per week and $18/hour earns 20 × 52 × $18 = $18,720 annually, or $1,560 monthly. The calculator handles any combination from 1 to 80 hours per week and 1 to 52 weeks per year.
How do I use the overtime calculator for shift workers?
In Overtime Calculator mode, enter your base hourly rate, your regular hours per week (e.g., 40), the additional overtime hours per week (e.g., 8), the overtime multiplier (1.5 for time-and-a-half or 2.0 for double time), and weeks worked. The calculator shows regular annual pay, overtime annual pay, total annual earnings, and your effective blended hourly rate.
Is the hourly to salary calculator accurate for non-US workers?
Yes - the conversion formulas are universal. Annual = Hourly × Hours × Weeks regardless of country. The overtime section uses the US FLSA 1.5× standard by default, but you can change the multiplier to whatever your local law or contract specifies. Use the currency selector to display results in your preferred currency symbol.
How much is $100,000 a year per hour?
$100,000 ÷ 2,080 hours = $48.08/hour at standard full-time. At 45 hours per week for 50 weeks (2,250 hours), it equals $44.44/hour. At 50 hours per week (2,600 hours), it equals $38.46/hour. Use the Basic mode with your actual schedule to get your precise figure.
