What this tool is for
Hourly to Salary Calculator is built for everyday calculation inside general calculators when you need to apply the formula shown on this page to the entered values. It focuses on hourly to salary instead of making you adapt a broad calculator to a narrow task.
When to use it
Use it when hourly rate, hours per week, and weeks per year are already known and you want a fast estimate before comparing options, checking a worksheet, or copying the result into another workflow.
Inputs
- Hourly rate controls the percentage part of the hourly to salary calculation. Use $/hr for this field.
- Hours per week sets the time period for the estimate. Use hr for this field.
- Weeks per year sets the time period for the estimate. Use weeks for this field.
Formula
salary = hourly rate x hours per week x weeks per year
Example
$25/hour at 40 hours for 52 weeks gives $52,000/year.
