Salary to Hourly Calculator
Works both ways. All figures are gross (before tax).
Standard full-time year = 40 hours ร 52 weeks = 2,080 hours. Lower “weeks per year” if you take unpaid time off.
How to convert salary to hourly pay
The formula is simple: Hourly rate = Annual salary รท (hours per week ร weeks per year). For a standard full-time job that is salary รท 2,080. So a $60,000 salary at 40 hours a week works out to $28.85 an hour, and $30 an hour full-time equals $62,400 a year.

Frequently asked questions
What is $70,000 a year hourly?
$70,000 รท 2,080 = $33.65 per hour on a standard 40-hour week.
Should I divide by 2,080 or 2,000?
Use 2,080 for the official gross rate. If you take about two weeks of unpaid time off, 2,000 hours (40 ร 50 weeks) better reflects the hours you actually work โ set “weeks per year” to 50 above.
Does this account for taxes?
No โ this is the gross conversion. Take-home pay depends on your federal and state tax bracket and deductions such as health insurance and retirement contributions.
Is a salaried offer better than the same hourly rate?
Not always. Salaried roles often include paid holidays and benefits, while hourly roles may pay 1.5ร overtime past 40 hours. If a salaried job quietly expects 50-hour weeks, set hours per week to 50 and compare the real rate.
