Salary to hourly table
Based on 40 hours a week and 52 weeks a year (2,080 hours).

How the conversion works
Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year)
A full-time schedule of 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is 2,080 hours a year, so a $50,000 salary is about $24.04 an hour.
- Time off. If you get two weeks of unpaid leave, set weeks per year to 50. The salary is spread over fewer working weeks, so your effective hourly rate goes up.
- Salary vs. contract work. The hourly equivalent lets you compare a salaried offer with freelance or contract rates. Freelancers usually charge 25–50% more per hour to cover self-employment tax, benefits and unpaid time off.
Questions
How do I convert my annual salary to an hourly rate?
Divide your annual salary by the number of hours you work in a year. A 40-hour week for 52 weeks is 2,080 hours, so $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85 an hour.
How do I convert an hourly rate to annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by your weekly hours, then by 52. For example, $30 × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $62,400 a year.
What is a good hourly rate for remote work?
It depends on field and experience. In the US, most remote roles pay roughly $20–$75 an hour, with specialised tech and consulting roles paying more. Use the calculator to put offers on the same basis.
Should I include overtime in the calculation?
If you regularly work longer hours, enter your real weekly hours. For salaried roles this gives a more realistic effective hourly rate, which is often lower than expected.
How does the tax rate field work?
Enter your approximate combined tax rate (federal, state and local) to see estimated take-home pay. It is a flat estimate, so check exact figures with a tax professional.
