To find your hourly rate from a salary, you divide your total pay by the number of hours you actually work in the same time period. For a standard full-time job, that means dividing your annual salary by 2,080 hours (40 hours per week × 52 weeks). If you are unsure how many hours you log each week, use our free work hours calculator to add them up first.
So a $50,000 per year salary works out to about $24.04 per hour. If you get two weeks of paid vacation, you still divide by 2,080 because those weeks are paid — you only adjust the hours if you take unpaid time off. Keep in mind that inflation can quietly reduce what that hourly rate is worth over time; our salary inflation calculator shows you how your pay has changed in real terms.
Part-time workers and those on non-standard schedules should enter their actual hours per day and days per week so the calculator uses the right number of annual hours. For shift workers, the shift hours calculator makes it easy to total up irregular or rotating shifts.
The math is simple once you know your annual hours:
Example: $60,000/yr ÷ (8 hrs × 5 days × 52 weeks) = $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85/hr
For monthly salary: multiply by 12 first to get annual, then divide by annual hours. For biweekly: multiply by 26. For weekly: multiply by 52. If you track your hours daily across multiple jobs or clients, our timesheet hours calculator and time card calculator can help you get an accurate total to plug into the formula above.
