Frequently Asked Questions
How do you convert annual salary to hourly rate?
To convert annual salary to hourly rate, divide the annual salary by the total number of working hours in a year. For a standard full-time job (40 hours per week, 52 weeks per year), divide the salary by 2,080 hours. For example, a $75,000 salary equals $36.06 per hour ($75,000 ÷ 2,080 = $36.06).
How do you convert hourly rate to annual salary?
To convert hourly rate to annual salary, multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours worked per week and then by the number of weeks worked per year. For full-time work (40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year), multiply the hourly rate by 2,080. For example, $36/hour equals $74,880 per year ($36 × 40 × 52 = $74,880).
How many hours are in a full-time work year?
A standard full-time work year consists of 2,080 hours. This is calculated as 40 hours per week multiplied by 52 weeks per year. However, this assumes no unpaid time off. If you have unpaid vacation or leave, you should adjust the weeks per year accordingly in your calculation.
Should I include overtime when converting hourly to salary?
It depends on your situation. Base salary conversions typically use regular hours only (40 hours/week). However, if you consistently work overtime, you should include it to calculate your actual annual earnings. Overtime is usually paid at 1.5x the regular hourly rate for hours over 40 per week. Our calculator includes an optional overtime feature for this purpose.
Are salary and hourly pay taxed differently?
No, salary and hourly pay are taxed the same way. Both are considered ordinary income and subject to federal, state, and local income taxes, as well as Social Security and Medicare taxes. The difference is in how taxes are withheld—salaried employees have consistent withholding each pay period, while hourly employees may have variable withholding based on hours worked.
What are the benefits differences between salary and hourly?
Salaried positions often come with more comprehensive benefits like health insurance, retirement plans, and paid time off. They typically offer more job security and career advancement opportunities. Hourly positions may have more flexible schedules and overtime pay opportunities, but benefits can vary widely. Many full-time hourly employees receive similar benefits to salaried employees.
