Salary as an hourly figure
Turning an annual salary into an hourly rate lets you compare a salaried role against hourly work, or understand what your time is worth. This converts a salary to an hourly figure based on your working hours, so the comparison is on the same footing.

Comparing salaried and hourly fairly
The conversion is straightforward, but a fair comparison remembers what each arrangement includes. A salary often comes with paid holiday, sick leave and benefits that a raw hourly rate does not, so a salaried hourly-equivalent can be worth more than the same number as a bare hourly wage. Salaried roles can also involve unpaid extra hours that quietly lower the true hourly rate below the headline. So the converted figure is a useful starting point for comparison, best adjusted for the benefits and the real hours each role involves. It is also a sobering way to see what an hour of your time is actually valued at, which can inform how you spend it.
Questions & answers
How is the hourly rate worked out?
By dividing the annual salary by the working hours in a year, based on your weekly hours and weeks worked.
Is a salaried hourly-equivalent comparable to an hourly wage?
Not directly — salaries often include paid leave and benefits an hourly rate lacks, and may involve unpaid extra hours, so adjust for both.
