How it works
From a salary to an hourly rate
Your hourly rate is your annual salary divided by the number of hours you work in a year. The calculator multiplies your hours each week by the weeks you work to get yearly hours, then divides the salary by that to get the rate.
A $52,000 salary at 40 hours a week across 52 weeks is 2,080 hours, which works out to exactly $25.00 an hour.

How to convert a salary to an hourly wage, the hours that change it, and why the figure matters.
How to convert salary to hourly
Divide your annual salary by the hours you work in a year. If you do not know your yearly hours, multiply your weekly hours by the weeks you work, usually 40 times 52, which is 2,080. So a $52,000 salary divided by 2,080 is $25.00 an hour.
Going the other way, multiply an hourly rate by your yearly hours to get the salary.
Hours and weeks change the rate
The same salary gives a higher hourly rate if you work fewer hours, and a lower one if you work more. Part-time hours, overtime and unpaid leave all change the figure, so set the hours and weeks to match your real schedule.
If you take two unpaid weeks off, set the weeks to 50 to see the effect on your effective hourly rate.
Why the hourly figure matters
The hourly equivalent lets you compare a salaried role with an hourly one on equal terms, and it shows what your time is really worth. It is also handy for valuing overtime or side work against your day job.
Because salaried roles often involve extra hours, working out the true hourly rate can be revealing.
Gross versus take-home
This calculator shows gross pay, before tax and deductions. Your take-home hourly rate is lower once tax comes out, and the amount depends on your situation and location.
Use the gross figure to compare roles, and your payslip for the exact net amount.
