How do I convert an annual salary to an hourly wage?

To turn a yearly salary into an hourly rate, divide it by the number of hours worked per year — for example 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours. 52,000 a year is 25 per hour.

How it works

Enter a pay amount and its period (hour, day, week, month or year). The calculator converts it to a yearly amount with your hours per week, days per week and paid weeks per year, then shows the equivalent for every other period.
