How to Use This Calculator
Fill in your annual salary, hours worked per week, and weeks worked per year to see the hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, and monthly equivalents. Or use the reverse section to convert an hourly wage into an estimated annual salary.
How the Calculation Works
Weekly pay is annual salary divided by weeks worked per year; hourly pay is weekly pay divided by hours worked per week. Daily pay assumes a standard 5-day work week.
Formula
Weekly = Annual / Weeks per Year
Hourly = Weekly / Hours per Week
Annual (reverse) = Hourly × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year
Example Calculation
A $65,000 salary at 40 hours/week for 50 weeks/year is about $1,300/week, or $32.50/hour.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are these figures before or after tax?
Before tax — these are gross-pay estimates and don't account for taxes, benefits, or other deductions.
Why 50 weeks instead of 52?
50 weeks is a common default that accounts for typical vacation/holiday time — adjust it to match your own schedule.

Salary to Hourly Calculator: Compare Job Offers on an Even Basis
"Salary to hourly calculator" and "hourly to salary calculator" are searched heavily by job seekers comparing offers, freelancers setting their rates, and anyone simply curious what their annual pay actually works out to on a per-hour basis. This tool runs both directions from one page: convert an annual salary into hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, and monthly equivalents, or start from an hourly wage and estimate the annual salary it corresponds to.
The forward direction — "convert salary to hourly wage" — is especially useful when comparing a salaried position against an hourly or contract role, since job postings don't always state pay the same way. Enter your annual salary along with your typical hours worked per week and weeks worked per year (the tool defaults to 50 weeks to account for typical vacation and holiday time, though you can adjust this to match your own schedule), and you'll immediately see what that salary looks like broken into every common pay period.
The reverse direction answers a slightly different but equally common question: "if I make $X per hour, what's my annual salary?" This comes up constantly for freelancers and contractors setting rates, or for anyone evaluating an hourly job offer against a salaried one they're also considering. Enter an hourly wage along with expected hours and weeks worked, and the estimated annual salary appears instantly.
Every figure this paycheck calculator produces is a gross-pay estimate — before taxes, health insurance, retirement contributions, or any other deductions come out. That's a deliberate choice: gross pay is the number most job postings and offer letters actually quote, so keeping this tool's output in the same terms makes it directly comparable to what you're evaluating. For the same reason, daily pay assumes a standard five-day work week, which is the most common schedule this kind of "annual salary calculator" search is built around — adjust the hours and weeks fields if your own schedule looks different, and the rest of the conversions will follow automatically.
Freelancers and independent contractors often use the reverse direction of this tool specifically to set or sanity-check an hourly rate against a target annual income, factoring in that self-employed schedules rarely match a tidy 40-hour, 50-week year. Running a few different hours-per-week scenarios through the calculator is a quick way to see what rate is actually required to hit a specific income goal once real-world availability is taken into account.
