This free hourly to salary calculator converts an hourly wage into annual, monthly, weekly, and daily pay in seconds — or works in reverse to turn a yearly salary back into an hourly rate.

Try Auritrack FreeUse the toggle to pick "Hourly → Salary" if you know your hourly wage, or "Salary → Hourly" if you know your annual salary and want the hourly equivalent.
Type in your hourly wage (for example, $25) or your gross annual salary (for example, $52,000). Select your currency from the top-right selector if needed.
Enter how many hours you work each week. Full-time is usually 40 hours; adjust it lower for part-time work or higher if you regularly work extra hours.
Enter the number of weeks you work per year. Use 52 if you have paid time off, or fewer weeks if some of your time off is unpaid.
Instantly see your annual, monthly, weekly, daily, and hourly pay. The large figure shows the number you converted to; the grid shows every other cadence.
Converting an hourly wage to an annual salary is simple arithmetic once you know two numbers: how many hours you work in a typical week and how many weeks you work in a year. Multiply your hourly rate by your weekly hours to get your weekly pay, then multiply that by your weeks per year to get your annual salary. A worker earning $25 an hour, 40 hours a week, for 52 weeks earns $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 a year. From there, dividing the annual figure by 12 gives a monthly salary of about $4,333. The calculator above handles all of these steps for you and updates the moment you change a number.
Annual Salary = Hourly Wage × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year
Example: $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 per year
The standard answer is 2,080 hours: 40 hours a week multiplied by 52 weeks. This is the figure most employers and payroll systems assume when they quote a salary, which is why a $52,000 salary maps neatly back to $25 an hour. In practice, few people work every one of those hours. Public holidays, paid vacation, and sick days all reduce the hours actually spent working, even though a salaried employee still receives the full amount. If you want the hourly value of the time you truly spend on the job, lower the weeks-per-year field to reflect your unpaid time off. Someone who takes two unpaid weeks works 2,000 hours, which nudges their effective hourly rate slightly higher for the same salary.
The difference between salaried and hourly pay is about how earnings are measured, not how much you make. A salaried employee receives a fixed amount each pay period regardless of the exact hours worked, which brings stability and usually a stronger benefits package: paid leave, retirement contributions, and health coverage. An hourly worker is paid for each hour on the clock, so income rises with extra shifts and falls when hours are cut. The trade-off is predictability versus flexibility. When you are weighing a salaried offer against an hourly one, the honest comparison is only possible once both are expressed on the same basis. Convert the hourly rate to a yearly figure using your real hours and weeks, then compare like with like, and remember to factor in the value of any benefits that come with the salaried role.
Your annual pay is only as accurate as the hours you enter, and real schedules rarely sit at a flat 40. Part-time work is the clearest case: at 20 hours a week, the same $25 rate produces $26,000 a year rather than $52,000, so halving the hours halves the salary. Overtime works in the opposite direction. If you routinely work 48 hours a week and eight of those are paid at time-and-a-half, your effective weekly pay is higher than a straight hourly multiplication suggests, because those extra hours carry a premium. This basic converter assumes a single flat rate for every hour, so for a precise picture of premium hours, use our overtime calculator. For irregular or seasonal work, enter your average weekly hours and the number of weeks you actually work to get a realistic annual estimate.
Every figure this converter produces is gross pay, meaning the amount before any deductions. The number that actually reaches your bank account — your take-home or net pay — is lower, because income tax, social security or national insurance, pension contributions, and any benefit deductions come out first. How much smaller depends heavily on where you live and your personal circumstances, so there is no single percentage that applies to everyone. A $52,000 gross salary might land as anywhere from roughly $38,000 to $44,000 net depending on your tax jurisdiction. To estimate what you will really keep, run your gross figure through our take-home pay calculator, which applies tax and deductions to show your net income.
Knowing your pay across every cadence is genuinely useful beyond curiosity. A clear hourly figure helps you judge whether a freelance project, a side gig, or a longer commute is worth your time. A monthly figure is the foundation of any budget, since most bills and rent are billed monthly. And an annual figure is the number lenders, landlords, and negotiation conversations all revolve around. If you are heading into a pay review, it also helps to know what a proposed raise looks like in each unit before you respond; our pay raise calculator shows the effect of a percentage or flat increase across your hourly, monthly, and annual pay. Once you know your real numbers, the next step is putting them to work in a budget that reflects what you actually earn rather than a rough guess.
Turn your gross salary into net take-home pay after tax, retirement, and other deductions — shown per year, month, and paycheck.
See your new salary after a raise, the percentage increase, extra monthly pay, and whether the raise actually beats inflation.
Work out time-and-a-half or double-time pay, your total weekly earnings, and your effective hourly rate once overtime is included.
