Hourly to Salary Calculator
Convert your hourly wage to weekly, biweekly, monthly, and annual pay.
Worked examples: hourly ↔ salary across pay periods
Both tables use the standard 2,080-hour full-time year (40 hrs × 52 weeks) and gross-pay math — no taxes withheld. Weekly = ×52, Biweekly = ×26, Semimonthly = ×24, Monthly = ×12.
Hourly → salary (40 hrs/week)
Enter an hourly rate; see gross salary at each pay frequency.
| Hourly rate | Weekly (×40 hrs) | Biweekly (×80 hrs) | Semimonthly | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $18/hr | $720 | $1,440 | $1,560 | $3,120 | $37,440 |
| $25/hr | $1,000 | $2,000 | $2,167 | $4,333 | $52,000 |
| $32/hr | $1,280 | $2,560 | $2,773 | $5,547 | $66,560 |
| $50/hr | $2,000 | $4,000 | $4,333 | $8,667 | $104,000 |
Worked step-by-step ($25/hr): 25 × 40 = $1,000 weekly gross → ×2 = $2,000 biweekly → $1,000 × 52 = $52,000 annual → $52,000 ÷ 24 = $2,166.67 semimonthly → $52,000 ÷ 12 = $4,333.33 monthly. All five per-period figures describe the same job — schedule only changes when the cash lands.
Salary → hourly (2,080 hrs/yr)
Enter an annual salary; see the equivalent hourly rate and per-period gross paycheck.
| Annual salary | Hourly (÷2,080) | Weekly (÷52) | Biweekly (÷26) | Semimonthly (÷24) | Monthly (÷12) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $40,000 | $19.23/hr | $769 | $1,538 | $1,667 | $3,333 |
| $55,000 | $26.44/hr | $1,058 | $2,115 | $2,292 | $4,583 |
| $72,000 | $34.62/hr | $1,385 | $2,769 | $3,000 | $6,000 |
| $95,000 | $45.67/hr | $1,827 | $3,654 | $3,958 | $7,917 |
| $120,000 | $57.69/hr | $2,308 | $4,615 | $5,000 | $10,000 |
Worked step-by-step ($72,000/yr): $72,000 ÷ 2,080 hrs = $34.62/hr → $72,000 ÷ 52 = $1,384.62 weekly gross → ÷26 = $2,769.23 biweekly → ÷24 = $3,000 semimonthly → ÷12 = $6,000 monthly. Semimonthly and biweekly look similar but are not equal — biweekly delivers two extra "third checks" a year, semimonthly is always exactly ½ of monthly.

Hourly-to-salary paycheck calculator FAQs
Convert an hourly wage into annual, monthly, biweekly, and weekly salary equivalents.
It multiplies your hourly wage by hours worked per week and weeks worked per year: annual salary = hourly × hours/week × weeks/year. The default 40 hours × 52 weeks (2,080 hours) is the standard full-time assumption used by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. It then divides that annual gross into monthly (÷12), biweekly (÷26), and weekly (÷52) equivalents so you can compare offers on any schedule.
At $25/hour × 40 hours/week × 52 weeks/year, the annualized gross salary is $52,000. Semi-monthly it's about $2,167, biweekly $2,000, weekly $1,000, and monthly $4,333. Take-home after federal, state, and FICA taxes depends on your state — plug the $52,000 into a state paycheck calculator to see net.
2,080 hours = 40 hours/week × 52 weeks/year. It's the standard full-time-equivalent (FTE) baseline the BLS, OPM, and most payroll systems use to translate hourly wages into an annual salary. Divide any salary by 2,080 to get an approximate hourly rate for a full-time exempt-equivalent role.
Use 52 if you're paid for vacation and holidays (most salaried-equivalent full-time roles). Use 50 if you take two unpaid weeks off each year. Contract and gig workers who don't get PTO often choose 48–50 to reflect real earnable weeks. The calculator lets you adjust this directly.
No — this is a gross-pay conversion only. To see take-home after federal, state, and FICA taxes, run the annualized number through the main salary paycheck calculator on the homepage or your state's dedicated paycheck calculator page.
No — this converter assumes a flat hourly rate for a set number of hours per week. For overtime at 1.5× (time-and-a-half) or 2× (double-time), use the overtime pay calculator, which also handles the 2026 OBBBA overtime-premium deduction on the federal return.
Salary-to-hourly paycheck calculator FAQs
Reverse the math — turn an annual salary into an hourly, daily, weekly, or biweekly rate.
Divide annual salary by the number of hours worked in a year: hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours/week × weeks/year). For a standard 40-hour, 52-week year that's ÷ 2,080. To reverse the on-page calculator into salary-to-hourly mode, keep hours/week and weeks/year at 40 and 52, then set the hourly field so annual matches your salary — or divide manually: $75,000 ÷ 2,080 ≈ $36.06/hour.
Use the 2,080-hour rule: hourly rate ≈ annual salary ÷ 2,080 for full-time employees. Examples: $50,000/yr ≈ $24.04/hour, $65,000/yr ≈ $31.25/hour, $80,000/yr ≈ $38.46/hour, $100,000/yr ≈ $48.08/hour, $150,000/yr ≈ $72.12/hour. Part-time or non-standard schedules should divide by their actual annual hours instead.
$60,000 per year divided by 2,080 full-time hours works out to about $28.85 per hour, $1,153.85 per week, $2,307.69 biweekly, $2,500 semimonthly, and $5,000 per month gross. Net take-home depends on filing status and state — a Texas $60k salary nets more than a California $60k salary because California withholds state income tax.
$80,000 per year is roughly $38.46 per hour ($80,000 ÷ 2,080), $1,538.46 weekly, $3,076.92 biweekly, and $6,666.67 monthly gross. On $80k, biweekly net after federal, state, and FICA usually lands between $2,300 and $2,650 depending on state and pre-tax deductions.
Multiply the monthly gross by 12 to get annual salary, then divide by annual hours worked (typically 2,080). Example: $6,000/month × 12 = $72,000/year ÷ 2,080 = $34.62/hour. Or divide monthly gross by (hours/week × 4.333): $6,000 ÷ (40 × 4.333) ≈ $34.62/hour.
Hourly-to-salary annualizes an hourly wage into an equivalent yearly salary (useful when comparing an hourly job offer to a salaried role). Salary-to-hourly does the reverse — it turns an annual salary into an effective hourly rate (useful for time-value-of-work analysis, part-time comparisons, or checking whether a salaried position pays fair market wages against a comparable hourly role). Both use the same 2,080-hour full-time-equivalent baseline.
Biweekly = every 2 weeks (26 paychecks/year). Semi-monthly = twice a month, usually the 15th and last day (24 paychecks/year). This calculator shows biweekly; the main salary paycheck calculator on the homepage supports both and shows per-check net after taxes for each schedule.
