Salary to Hourly Calculator — Convert Annual Salary to Hourly Rate

Divide your annual salary by total work hours per year. At 40 hours/week and 52 weeks/year (2,080 hours), a $60,000 salary = $28.85/hour. With 2 weeks vacation (2,000 hours), the effective rate is $30/hour.

At standard 40 hrs/week, 52 weeks/year: $50,000 ÷ 2,080 = $24.04/hour. With 2 weeks vacation, you work 2,000 hours, making the effective hourly rate $25/hour.

Standard: 52 weeks × 40 hours = 2,080 hours. With 2 weeks vacation: 50 weeks × 40 hours = 2,000 hours. With 3 weeks vacation: 49 × 40 = 1,960 hours. US average is about 1,800-2,000 hours.

The nominal hourly rate is your salary divided by scheduled work hours. The effective hourly rate accounts for vacation time — since you're paid but not working those days, your real per-hour cost to the employer is higher.

Multiply hourly rate × hours per week × weeks worked per year. $20/hr × 40 hours × 50 weeks = $40,000. Include vacation weeks if you're paid for them (most salaried employees are).

This calculator assumes standard hours. If you regularly work overtime unpaid (common in salaried roles), your effective hourly rate is lower. Add your overtime hours to the weekly total for a true picture.
