Salary to Hourly Calculator
Convert a salary to an hourly rate — or go the other way — across annual, monthly, weekly, and hourly pay. A $60,000 salary works out to $28.85 an hour at 40 hours a week; set your own weekly hours and weeks per year for an exact figure.
Salary ↔ hourly: how the math works
The bridge between a salary and an hourly rate is your work hours per year. Full-time is usually 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours. To go from salary to hourly, divide by that number; to go from hourly to salary, multiply by it.
Two settings change the answer a lot: hours per week (part-time vs full-time) and weeks per year (lower it to account for unpaid time off). A $60,000 salary is $28.85/hr at 2,080 hours, but $30.00/hr if you only work 50 paid weeks.

Frequently asked questions
Divide your annual salary by the number of hours you work in a year. For full-time work that is usually 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours. So $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85 per hour. Change the hours per week or weeks per year if your schedule is different.
Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per week and the weeks you work per year. For example, $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 per year. This calculator does it both ways — just switch the input unit.
A standard full-time year is 2,080 hours (40 hours × 52 weeks). If you take unpaid time off, some people use 2,000 or fewer. Lowering “weeks per year” reflects unpaid weeks and raises the implied hourly rate.
No. This converts gross pay between time units. It does not deduct income tax, FICA, or benefits. To estimate take-home pay, use the paycheck calculator.
At 40 hours a week, $40,000/yr ≈ $19.23/hr, $50,000 ≈ $24.04, $70,000 ≈ $33.65, and $100,000 ≈ $48.08. Part-time hours or unpaid weeks change these figures.
