Hourly to Salary Conversion — How to Calculate Annual Salary from Hourly Rate (2026)

Last updated: July 2026

Converting hourly pay to salary is simple: multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per week, then by the number of weeks you work per year.

For a standard full-time schedule (40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year), that's Hourly Rate × 2,080. For example, $25/hour equals $52,000/year.

Use the calculator below, or find your exact rate in the tables in this guide — including biweekly, monthly, part-time, overtime, and after-tax breakdowns.

The Simple Formula — How to Convert Hourly Rate to Annual Salary

Converting an hourly wage to an annual salary comes down to one simple calculation: multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply that by the number of weeks you work per year.

Hourly Rate × Hours per week × 52 weeks = Annual Salary

For a standard full-time schedule of 40 hours per week, this simplifies to a single multiplier:

Hourly Rate × 2,080 = Annual Salary

Why 2,080?
This number comes from 40 hours per week × 52 weeks per year = 2,080 total working hours in a year. It’s the same standard used by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics and most payroll systems to calculate full-time annual pay, which is why it’s the default multiplier used throughout this guide and in the calculator below.

Example:
$25/hour × 2,080 = $52,000/year

A quick note on accuracy: This formula assumes you work all 52 weeks of the year with no unpaid time off. If you take unpaid vacation, unpaid leave, or don’t work every week of the year, your actual annual earnings will be lower — see the “Part-Time Hourly to Salary” section below for how to adjust the formula for fewer weeks or hours.

Part-time hourly to salary

Not everyone works 40 hours per week. Here's how to convert your hourly rate to salary for part-time hours.

Formula: Hourly Rate × Hours per week × 52 = Annual Salary

Example with $25/hour:

Hours/weekAnnualMonthlyWeekly
20$26,000$2,167$500
25$32,500$2,708$625
30$39,000$3,250$750
35$45,500$3,792$875
40$52,000$4,333$1,000

Other common part-time examples:

  • $20/hour at 30 hrs/week = $31,200/year
  • $30/hour at 25 hrs/week = $39,000/year
  • $40/hour at 20 hrs/week = $41,600/year

How to calculate hourly to salary with overtime

Overtime rate = 1.5× your regular hourly rate.

Overtime formula: (Regular hours × Regular rate) + (Overtime hours × Overtime rate) = Weekly pay

Example: $20/hour, 40 regular + 10 overtime hours/week

Weekly overtime breakdown
  • Regular pay (40 × $20)$800
  • Overtime pay (10 × $30)$300
  • Total weekly pay$1,100
Annual pay with overtime: $1,100 × 52 = $57,200

Without overtime, $20/hour equals $41,600/year. Ten hours of weekly overtime adds an extra $15,600/year.

After-tax take-home pay

Gross salary isn't what you actually take home. Here's an estimate for a single filer:

Hourly rateGross annualNo-tax stateCalifornia
$15$31,200~$26,500~$24,800
$20$41,600~$34,500~$32,100
$25$52,000~$42,500~$39,200
$30$62,400~$50,000~$46,000
$35$72,800~$57,500~$52,500
$40$83,200~$64,500~$58,800
$50$104,000~$78,000~$71,000
Note: These are estimates only. Actual take-home pay depends on your state, filing status, dependents, and deductions. Use the calculator above for a figure specific to your situation.

Hourly to monthly, biweekly, and weekly salary

Once you have your annual salary, you can calculate other pay periods easily.

Monthly
Annual salary ÷ 12
Biweekly
Annual salary ÷ 26
Weekly
Annual salary ÷ 52
Quick monthly shortcut
Hourly Rate × 173.33 = Monthly Salary
Example: $25/hour × 173.33 = $4,333/month

Weekly and biweekly specific answers

$20 an hour is how much biweekly?
At 40 hours/week, $20/hour equals $1,600 biweekly (before taxes).
$1,500 a week is how much an hour?
Based on a 40-hour work week, $1,500/week equals $37.50 per hour.
$1,000 a week is how much an hour?
$1,000/week ÷ 40 hours = $25 per hour.
