How to Use This Calculator
1. Enter your hourly pay rate in the 'Hourly Rate' field — this should be your gross (pre-tax) hourly wage. 2. Input the number of hours you work each week in the 'Hours Worked Per Week' field (standard full-time is 40 hours). 3. Set the number of weeks you work per year in 'Weeks Worked Per Year' — use 50 if you take two weeks unpaid leave, or 52 for year-round work. 4. If you work overtime, enter your average overtime hours per week and select the appropriate overtime pay multiplier (usually 1.5× for time and a half). 5. Click Calculate to instantly see your annual salary, monthly pay, biweekly paycheck, weekly earnings, and daily rate.
How Hourly Wage Converts to Annual Salary
Converting an hourly rate to an annual salary is straightforward once you know your regular and overtime hours. The basic formula is:
Annual Salary = (Hourly Rate × Regular Hours per Week + Hourly Rate × Overtime Multiplier × Overtime Hours per Week) × Weeks per Year
Standard Full-Time Calculation
For a standard 40-hour work week over 52 weeks with no overtime, the formula simplifies to:
Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × 40 × 52 = Hourly Rate × 2,080
The number 2,080 is the standard number of working hours in a year used by most employers and the U.S. federal government for benefit calculations.
Including Overtime Pay
Overtime hours are paid at a premium rate — most commonly 1.5× (time and a half) under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for hours exceeding 40 per week. The overtime contribution to your weekly pay is:
Overtime Weekly Pay = Hourly Rate × Overtime Multiplier × Overtime Hours
Other Pay Period Conversions
- Monthly Salary: Annual Salary ÷ 12
- Biweekly Salary: Weekly Salary × 2
- Weekly Salary: Hourly Rate × Hours per Week (plus overtime)
- Daily Salary: Hourly Rate × 8 (standard 8-hour day)
Gross vs. Net Pay
All results from this calculator represent gross pay — your earnings before federal and state income taxes, Social Security, Medicare (FICA), and any other deductions. Your actual take-home (net) pay will be lower depending on your tax bracket, filing status, and benefits deductions.
