Hourly to Salary Conversion — How to Calculate Annual Salary from Hourly Rate (2026)
Simple formula to convert your hourly wage to annual, monthly, biweekly, and weekly salary. Includes examples and free calculator. Updated for 2026.
Converting hourly to salary is simple. Multiply your hourly rate by 40 hours per week, then by 52 weeks per year. This gives you your annual salary before taxes. For example, $25 per hour equals $52,000 per year. This guide shows you how to convert for full-time, part-time, overtime, and after-tax scenarios.
The Simple Formula — Convert Hourly to Annual Salary
The basic formula to convert hourly to annual salary is:
Hourly Rate × Hours per week × 52 weeks = Annual Salary
For full-time employees working 40 hours per week, the formula becomes:
Hourly Rate × 2,080 = Annual Salary
Why 2,080 hours? Because 40 hours per week × 52 weeks per year equals 2,080 hours.
Example: If you earn $25 per hour and work 40 hours per week, your annual salary is $25 × 2,080 = $52,000 per year.

Part-Time Hourly to Salary — For 20, 30, and 35 Hours per Week
Not everyone works 40 hours per week. Here is how to convert hourly to salary for part-time hours.
Formula: Hourly Rate × Hours per week × 52 = Annual Salary
Example with $25 per hour:
At 20 hours per week, your annual salary is $26,000. Your monthly salary is $2,167. Your weekly salary is $500.
At 25 hours per week, your annual salary is $32,500. Your monthly salary is $2,708. Your weekly salary is $625.
At 30 hours per week, your annual salary is $39,000. Your monthly salary is $3,250. Your weekly salary is $750.
At 35 hours per week, your annual salary is $45,500. Your monthly salary is $3,792. Your weekly salary is $875.
At 40 hours per week, your annual salary is $52,000. Your monthly salary is $4,333. Your weekly salary is $1,000.
Other common hourly rates for part-time:
$20 per hour at 30 hours per week equals $31,200 per year.
$30 per hour at 25 hours per week equals $39,000 per year.
$40 per hour at 20 hours per week equals $41,600 per year.
How to Calculate Hourly to Salary with Overtime
If you regularly work overtime, your actual annual salary will be higher than the standard calculation.
Overtime Rate: 1.5 times your regular hourly rate.
Overtime Formula: (Regular hours × Regular rate) plus (Overtime hours × Overtime rate) equals your weekly pay.
Example with $20 per hour, working 40 regular hours plus 10 overtime hours per week:
Regular pay is 40 hours times $20 which equals $800.
Overtime pay is 10 hours times $30 (which is $20 times 1.5) which equals $300.
Total weekly pay is $800 plus $300 which equals $1,100.
Annual pay with overtime is $1,100 times 52 which equals $57,200.
Without overtime, $20 per hour would be $41,600 per year. With 10 hours of overtime per week, you earn an additional $15,600 per year

Hourly vs Salary — Which One is Better for You?
Pros of Hourly Pay:
You are paid for every hour you work, including overtime at 1.5 times your regular rate. You have more flexibility in your work schedule. You have the potential to earn more with overtime hours. It is easier to track your work-life balance.
Cons of Hourly Pay:
Your income can fluctuate if your hours vary from week to week. You may not receive paid time off. There is less job security in some industries compared to salaried positions.
Pros of Salary Pay:
You receive a predictable, consistent paycheck every pay period. You usually receive paid time off and benefits like health insurance and retirement contributions. There is more job security and career growth potential. Budgeting is simpler because you know exactly how much you will earn each month.
Cons of Salary Pay:
You do not receive overtime pay for extra hours you work. You may work more than 40 hours per week without any extra compensation. It can be harder to track your work-life balance because you are always “on the clock.”
