How US hourly to salary conversion works
US hourly-to-salary comparisons commonly start with 40 hours per week and 52 paid weeks per year, which equals 2,080 annual hours.
The calculator multiplies hourly rate by weekly hours and paid weeks to estimate gross annual pay.
The result does not calculate federal income tax, state tax, local tax, Social Security, Medicare, deductions, or benefits.
Formula
Annual Salary = Hourly Rate x Hours per Week x Weeks per YearThe USA version uses the same gross-pay formula, with copy and defaults aligned to common US pay comparisons.
- Hourly Rate is US gross pay per hour.
- Hours per Week is the expected weekly schedule, often 40 for full-time comparisons.
- Weeks per Year is usually 52 when the job pays year-round.
What the Numbers Mean
- Hourly rate
- Gross hourly wage before tax withholding, insurance, retirement, or other payroll deductions.
- Hours per week
- The weekly schedule used for the annual estimate. Use 40 for a common US full-time baseline.
- Weeks per year
- Use 52 when the job pays year-round. Use fewer weeks for unpaid seasonal gaps or unpaid leave.
Assumptions
- The default 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year reflects a common US full-time comparison.
- The result is gross annual pay, not after-tax take-home pay.
- The calculator does not apply state-specific or city-specific tax rules.
- Overtime is separate unless all entered hours are paid at the base hourly rate.
- Unpaid time off should be modeled by reducing weeks per year or adjusting average hours.
Worked Examples
$17/hour in the US at 40 hours
- Input
- $17/hour, 40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year
- Formula
- $17 x 40 x 52
- Output
- $35,360 per year
This is the gross annual estimate before US payroll deductions.
$22/hour in the US at 40 hours
- Input
- $22/hour, 40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year
- Formula
- $22 x 40 x 52
- Output
- $45,760 per year
The estimate uses the common 2,080-hour full-time baseline.
$28/hour with a 37.5-hour week
- Input
- $28/hour, 37.5 hours/week, 52 weeks/year
- Formula
- $28 x 37.5 x 52
- Output
- $54,600 per year
Some US office schedules use 37.5 hours, so custom hours matter.
$35/hour for 50 paid weeks
- Input
- $35/hour, 40 hours/week, 50 weeks/year
- Formula
- $35 x 40 x 50
- Output
- $70,000 per year
Reducing weeks to 50 reflects unpaid time away from work.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert US hourly pay to salary?
Multiply hourly pay by hours per week and weeks per year. For a common US full-time estimate, multiply hourly pay by 2,080.
Does this include US taxes?
No. It estimates gross annual pay only. Federal, state, local, Social Security, Medicare, and benefit deductions are not included.
Why does the calculator default to 40 hours?
A 40-hour week is a common US full-time baseline. You can enter a different weekly schedule if the role uses one.
Can I use this for part-time US jobs?
Yes, but the part-time hourly-to-salary calculator is more directly framed for non-40-hour schedules.
Does this handle overtime under US rules?
No. It does not determine overtime eligibility or premium rates. Use the overtime calculator for separate overtime math.
What hourly wage equals about $52,000 per year?
At 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year, $25/hour equals $52,000 per year.
