How to Convert Hourly to Annual

The formula to convert your hourly rate to an annual salary is straightforward:

Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × 52 weeks

Common examples

  • $15/hr × 40h × 52w = $31,200/year
  • $25/hr × 40h × 52w = $52,000/year
  • $50/hr × 40h × 52w = $104,000/year
  • $100/hr × 40h × 52w = $208,000/year

To convert the other direction (annual to hourly), divide your annual salary by the number of weeks you work per year (typically 52), then divide by your hours per week.

How many working hours are used for salary conversion?

The default is 40 hours per week (standard full-time), but you can customize from 20 to 168 hours. Presets for 37.5, 35, 30, and 20 hours are available for different schedules.

Does this calculator work for part-time jobs?

Yes, adjust the hours per week to match your part-time schedule. Set 20 hours for a half-time role and the calculator converts accurately across all pay periods.

Can freelancers use this salary converter?

Yes, freelancers can enter their hourly rate and typical weekly billable hours to see the annual equivalent. Great for comparing freelance rates to salaried positions.

Why is monthly salary not exactly four times weekly salary?

Monthly = annual ÷ 12, weekly = annual ÷ 52. Since 52 ÷ 12 ≈ 4.33, a month averages 4.33 weeks, not 4. So monthly salary is slightly more than 4× the weekly amount.
