Comparing an hourly wage to a salaried offer requires putting both in the same terms. This calculator converts your hourly pay rate into its weekly, monthly, and annual salary equivalent — enter your rate, hours per week, and weeks worked per year to get an instant conversion.
Why 'weeks per year' matters
Salaried roles almost always include paid time off; hourly roles don't always. Using 52 weeks assumes no unpaid time off — if you expect unpaid weeks off, lower this number for a more accurate comparison.
This shows gross, not take-home
Like salary figures, this is a gross (pre-tax) equivalent — see the Gross to Net Salary Calculator to estimate what actually lands in your account. This calculator doesn't subtract any tax or deductions on its own.
How part-time hours change the annual figure
Annual salary equivalent scales directly with hours worked — working 20 hours a week instead of 40 at the same hourly rate roughly halves the annual figure, since the calculation is simply rate × hours × weeks. This makes it easy to compare a part-time offer against a full-time one on equal terms.
Why estimates can differ from your actual paycheck
This calculator assumes a flat hourly rate for every hour entered and a consistent number of weeks worked. Unpaid leave, irregular overtime, or weeks with fewer hours than usual will all change your real annual total — treat this as a straightforward equivalence calculation, not a guarantee of what you'll actually earn.
Examples
Full-time example
If you earn $25 an hour and work 40 hours a week for 50 weeks a year, that comes to $50,000 a year, or about $4,167 a month, before tax.
Part-time example
If you work 20 hours a week at $20 an hour for 50 weeks a year, that comes to $20,000 a year, or about $1,667 a month. Enter your own rate and hours above for your exact numbers.
