Formula Explanation
Converting an hourly wage to an annual salary uses this simple multiplication:
The standard work year is considered to be 52 weeks at 40 hours per week (2,080 hours total).
How Hourly-to-Salary Conversion Works
Converting an hourly wage to an annual salary is straightforward: multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours worked per week, then multiply by the number of weeks worked per year. For a standard full-time job (40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year), the formula is: Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × 40 × 52 = Hourly Rate × 2,080.
This number is your gross annual income — what you earn before taxes and deductions. If you want your take-home pay, you'll also need to account for federal and state income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%). Use the Salary After Tax Calculator for that breakdown.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many working hours are in a year?
A standard full-time employee works 2,080 hours per year (40 hrs/week × 52 weeks). In practice, many companies have 10 federal holidays, reducing billable hours to about 2,000. Part-time workers at 20 hours/week work approximately 1,040 hours annually.
Should I include overtime in this calculation?
For a baseline salary comparison, use your regular hours only. If you regularly work overtime, calculate the overtime pay separately (typically 1.5× your regular rate for hours over 40/week in the US) and add it to your base annual salary for your total compensation estimate.
How do I compare an hourly rate to a salaried job offer?
Convert both to the same unit. If a salaried job offers $65,000/year with no overtime and 40 hrs/week, the equivalent hourly rate is $65,000 / 2,080 = $31.25/hr. Remember to compare total compensation — salaried jobs often include benefits (health insurance, 401k match, PTO) that have real monetary value beyond the base salary.
