Salary & Wage Converter

Multiply your hourly wage by the hours you work per week, then by the weeks you work per year. For example, 25 per hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = 52,000 per year. Select Hourly as the pay frequency, enter your rate, and the calculator shows the yearly total and other pay periods.

Divide your yearly salary by the total hours you work in a year. With 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, that is 2,080 hours, so 62,400 per year equals 30 per hour. If you work fewer weeks because of unpaid leave, change Working Weeks / Year for a more accurate rate.

No. The results are gross pay, meaning pay before income tax, social security, pension, or other deductions. Tax rules are very different in each country, so the calculator does not estimate them. Your take-home pay will be lower than the amounts shown. This is not tax or financial advice.

Because a year has 26 bi-weekly pay periods but only 12 months. Twice a month would be 24 payments. So for a 52,000 salary, bi-weekly pay is 52,000 / 26 = 2,000, while monthly pay is 52,000 / 12 ≈ 4,333.33, which is more than two bi-weekly payments.

A full-time job with 40 hours a week for 52 weeks has 2,080 working hours per year. If you work 37.5 hours a week or take unpaid weeks off, the number is lower; for example, 37.5 hours × 48 weeks = 1,800 hours. You can change both values in the calculator.
