What Is an Hourly To Salary Calculator?
An hourly to salary calculator converts an hourly wage into annualized gross pay. It is useful when comparing an hourly job with a salary offer, checking whether a part-time schedule meets an income target, or estimating how seasonal work changes yearly pay. The calculator starts with your hourly rate, weekly schedule, and paid weeks, then converts that schedule into weekly, monthly, and annual pay.
This page is a gross-pay worksheet. It does not estimate taxes, paycheck deductions, benefits, or legal classification. A job that looks similar on annual gross pay can still differ in health insurance, retirement match, paid leave, overtime eligibility, commute costs, and schedule stability.
How to Calculate Hourly To Salary
The standard full-time shortcut is hourly wage multiplied by 2,080 hours. That assumes 40 hours per week for 52 paid weeks. For custom schedules, multiply hourly wage by regular weekly hours, add any overtime pay, and multiply weekly gross pay by paid weeks per year.
Annual salary = (hourly wage x regular weekly hours + overtime weekly pay) x paid weeks
Overtime weekly pay is calculated separately as overtime hours times hourly wage times the overtime multiplier. Keeping it separate helps you see the difference between regular salary equivalent and overtime-driven earnings.
Worked Examples
Example 1: Standard full-time schedule
If you earn $28 per hour and work 40 hours per week for 52 paid weeks, base weekly pay is $1,120 and annual gross pay is $58,240. That matches the 2,080-hour shortcut because 40 times 52 equals 2,080.
Example 2: Seasonal schedule
If you earn $24 per hour, work 35 hours per week, and are paid for 40 weeks, annual gross pay is $33,600. The hourly wage is not enough by itself; the weeks worked change the annual result.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you convert hourly pay to salary?
Multiply the hourly wage by hours worked per week, then multiply by paid weeks per year. For a standard full-time estimate, multiply hourly wage by 2,080 hours, which is 40 hours per week times 52 weeks.
What is the 2,080-hour salary formula?
The 2,080-hour formula is hourly wage times 2,080. It assumes 40 paid hours per week for 52 weeks. BLS uses 2,080 hours as a common year-round full-time annual wage conversion basis.
Does this hourly to salary calculator include overtime?
Yes. You can enter overtime hours and an overtime multiplier. The calculator separates base annual pay from overtime premium so the regular salary equivalent remains clear.
Does this calculator show take-home pay?
No. It shows gross pay before taxes and deductions. Federal tax, state tax, local tax, Social Security, Medicare, benefits, retirement contributions, and wage garnishments are not included.
Should I use 52 weeks or fewer weeks?
Use 52 weeks when the job pays year-round. Use fewer paid weeks if the work is seasonal, school-year based, contract based, or includes unpaid time off. Paid vacation can still count as paid weeks.

Why is the effective hourly rate different from my base wage?
