Hourly to Salary Calculator (annual, monthly, weekly)
Free hourly-to-salary calculator — type any rate (hourly, weekly, monthly or annual) and see the other three. Adjusts for hours per week and weeks worked per year.
Type in any one of the four rates — hourly, weekly, monthly or annual — and the calculator returns the other three. Adjust hours per week and weeks worked per year for part-time, overtime or a contractor’s unpaid vacation.
The math
annual = hourly × hours/week × weeks/year
weekly = annual ÷ weeks/year
monthly = annual ÷ 12
hourly = weekly ÷ hours/week
Whichever rate you enter, the calculator first normalizes it to an annual figure and then derives the others. Nothing exotic — it’s the conversion the whole salary discussion already runs on, surfaced explicitly.
Why “weeks per year” matters
Salaried employees who get paid through their vacation: use 52. Their hourly rate is the yearly salary divided across the full calendar year.
Hourly contractors and freelancers who get paid only when they work: use the weeks you actually bill. Four weeks of unpaid vacation → 48. A short season, an injury, a slow quarter → set it accordingly. The hourly figure the calculator shows is what you have to charge during the working weeks to hit the target annual income.
Comparing a job offer to your current rate
Two common questions the calculator answers:
- “This salary works out to what hourly?” Enter the offered annual, leave hours and weeks at your current numbers, read the hourly. That’s the apples-to-apples comparison to your freelance / contract rate.
- “What would I need to charge to match my salary?” Enter your current annual salary, lower the hours per week (freelancers bill fewer hours than they work) and the weeks per year (you’ll take time off). The hourly figure is the floor. Add taxes you’ll self-pay and benefits you’ll self-fund on top.
Gross, not net
Everything here is before taxes. Take-home pay depends on country, state, filing status and elections that a generic calculator can’t model. If you need net pay, use a payroll calculator for your jurisdiction — for Brazil that’s the salário líquido CLT calculator on this site.

$25/hour, full-time (40h × 52 weeks)
Annual $52,000.00 — monthly $4,333.33, weekly $1,000.00, hourly $25.00 (40 h/week × 52 weeks/year).
-
$60,000/year at 40h × 52 weeks
Annual $60,000.00 — monthly $5,000.00, weekly $1,153.85, hourly $28.85 (40 h/week × 52 weeks/year).
-
$30/hour, four weeks of unpaid vacation (40h × 48 weeks)
Annual $57,600.00 — monthly $4,800.00, weekly $1,200.00, hourly $30.00 (40 h/week × 48 weeks/year).
Frequently asked questions
Should I use 52 weeks or 48 weeks?
Use **52** if you're a salaried employee whose pay continues during vacation — your annual figure already covers the time off. Use **48** (or whatever you actually bill) if you're a freelancer or contractor paid only for time worked: 4 weeks of unpaid vacation is the typical default, and your hourly rate has to cover that gap. The calculator lets you set the number explicitly so the math reflects reality.
Why is my hourly rate different at the same annual salary if I change hours per week?
Because hourly rate is annual ÷ (hours/week × weeks/year). A $60,000 salary at 40 h/week is ~$28.85/h; the same $60,000 at 50 h/week (lots of overtime, unpaid) is ~$23.08/h. That's the practical reason "the salaried hours" matter when comparing offers.
How is monthly pay calculated?
Annual ÷ 12. That's the simple average; actual pay periods may be bi-weekly (annual ÷ 26) or semi-monthly (annual ÷ 24), which produce slightly different per-period numbers but the same yearly total.
Does this account for taxes?
No — these are **gross** figures (before income tax, social security, healthcare, retirement contributions). Net (take-home) pay depends on your country, state, filing status and benefit elections. Use a local payroll calculator for net pay.
How do I price a freelance rate from a target salary?
Pick the annual salary you want, set realistic hours per week (most freelancers can bill 25–35 of the 40 they work — the rest is admin, marketing, downtime) and a realistic weeks worked per year (48 if you take a month off, less if you're seasonal). The hourly rate the calculator shows is what you need to charge to hit the target. Then add overhead (taxes you'll owe yourself, healthcare you self-pay, software, tooling, time off, slow periods) — most calculators suggest 1.5–2× the "employee equivalent" rate.
