Salary to Hourly Pay Calculator

Convert an annual salary into an hourly wage — or an hourly wage into a yearly income — in seconds. It is the fastest way to compare job offers that are quoted in different units.

How to Use the Salary Converter

• Enter a salary to see the hourly equivalent, or an hourly wage to see what it means per year.
• A standard full-time year is about 2,080 hours (40 hours × 52 weeks) — that is the math behind the conversion.
• Comparing two offers? Convert both to the same unit before deciding anything.

Try This

Convert your current part-time wage to a full-time annual figure. Seeing your $17/hour as roughly $35,000 a year does two things: it makes job ads suddenly readable, and it shows you exactly what a raise of one dollar an hour is really worth ($2,080 a year).

A Teacher’s Tips

Compare gross to gross — taxes come off both. And look at real hours, not promised ones: a salary built on constant 50-hour weeks can pay a worse true hourly rate than an hourly job with overtime. For first jobs, tips and shift premiums can make a lower base wage the better deal.
