Hourly to annual salary formula
Multiply the hourly rate by hours worked per week, then multiply by weeks worked per year. At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, a full-time schedule contains 2,080 paid hours. If you take unpaid time off, use fewer than 52 weeks for a more realistic annual total.
For example, $25 an hour multiplied by 40 hours and 52 weeks equals $52,000 in annual gross pay before overtime, taxes, and deductions.
- Annual pay = hourly rate × weekly hours × weeks worked.
- Weekly pay = hourly rate × weekly hours.
- Overtime, bonuses, tips, shift differentials, and unpaid leave can change actual earnings.
Comparing an hourly job with a salary offer
Compare more than the headline annual number. Consider expected hours, overtime eligibility, paid time off, health insurance, retirement contributions, bonuses, commute costs, and schedule stability.
This conversion shows gross pay and does not by itself estimate tax. Use the paycheck calculator when you also want a 2026 federal take-home estimate.
Frequently asked questions
About this hourly to salary calculator
How do I calculate annual salary from hourly pay?
Multiply hourly pay by hours worked per week and weeks worked per year. A standard 40-hour, 52-week year uses 2,080 hours.
Is 2,080 hours always the right annual total?
No. It assumes 40 paid hours in each of 52 weeks. Use your actual weekly hours and paid weeks when your schedule, unpaid leave, or seasonal work differs.
Does this conversion include overtime or taxes?
The basic conversion shows regular gross earnings. Use the overtime calculator for extra hours and the paycheck calculator for a federal tax estimate.
