What is the Salary to Hourly Calculator?

Hourly rate = yearly salary ÷ (hours per week × paid weeks per year). With the usual 40 hours and 52 weeks that is 2,080 hours, so $60,000 a year is about $28.85 an hour.

If some weeks off are unpaid, lower the weeks per year: a contractor who takes six unpaid weeks earns over 46 weeks, which raises the hourly rate needed to match a salary.

Frequently asked questions

Is the result before or after tax?

Before tax (gross). Taxes and deductions depend on your country and situation.

What is the difference between bi-weekly and semi-monthly?

Bi-weekly means every two weeks — 26 paychecks a year. Semi-monthly means twice a month — 24 paychecks — so each one is slightly larger.
