Frequently asked questions - salary to hourly

How do I convert annual salary to hourly rate?
Divide your annual salary by the number of hours you work per year. For a standard 40-hour work week and 52 weeks per year: Annual salary / 2,080 = Hourly rate. For example, a $65,000 salary / 2,080 hours = $31.25 per hour. If you work fewer weeks due to vacation, use the actual weeks worked.
How many work hours are in a year?
A standard full-time employee working 40 hours per week for 52 weeks works 2,080 hours per year. If you take 2 weeks vacation, that drops to 2,000 hours (50 weeks x 40 hours). For part-time workers, multiply your weekly hours by 52 to get your annual hours.
How do I convert hourly to annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by your weekly hours, then multiply by 52 weeks. Formula: Hourly rate x Hours per week x 52 = Annual salary. For example, $18.50/hr x 40 hrs x 52 weeks = $38,480 per year. This is your gross annual income before taxes.
What is the formula for converting salary to monthly pay?
Divide your annual salary by 12 to get your monthly gross pay. For example, $65,000 / 12 = $5,416.67 per month. For bi-weekly pay, divide by 26 pay periods. For semi-monthly (twice per month), divide by 24 pay periods.
