Hourly to Salary Converter
Convert an hourly rate into an equivalent annual salary.
What an hourly rate is a year
Turning an hourly rate into an annual salary shows what your rate adds up to over a year, useful for comparing hourly work against salaried roles or understanding your yearly earning potential. This converts an hourly rate to a salary based on your working hours.

The hours assumption is everything
The conversion hinges entirely on how many hours you actually work, and this is where a simple estimate can mislead. The common quick calculation assumes full-time hours every week of the year, but real hourly work often involves unpaid time off, variable hours, or gaps between jobs, so the true annual figure can be lower than the headline conversion suggests. Hourly work also frequently lacks the paid holiday, sick leave and benefits a salary includes, so an hourly-to-salary figure is not directly comparable to a salaried role of the same amount. Used with a realistic view of your actual hours and what the role does or does not include, it is a useful comparison rather than a precise promise.
Frequently asked questions
How is the annual figure worked out?
By multiplying the hourly rate by the hours worked per week and the weeks worked per year — so the hours assumption drives the result.
Is an hourly-to-salary figure directly comparable to a salary?
Not quite — hourly work often lacks the paid leave and benefits a salary includes, and may involve variable hours, so adjust for both.
