About this calculator
Job offers mix units: one quotes $28 an hour, another $58,000 a year. Converting both to the same unit is the only fair comparison. This calculator does all conversions at once from whichever number you know.
The defaults assume 40 hours a week and 52 paid weeks. If you take unpaid time off or work part time, change those numbers and every figure updates. Results are before taxes and deductions.
Annual salary from an hourly wage
Annual = Hourly × Hours per week × Weeks per year
Monthly pay is annual ÷ 12, biweekly is annual ÷ 26, and daily assumes 5 working days per week.
Example
$25 an hour at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is $52,000 a year, $4,333 a month or $2,000 every two weeks before taxes.
Frequently asked questions
How many working hours are in a year?

Is $50,000 a year good hourly pay?
$50,000 a year is about $24.04 an hour at 2,080 hours. Whether it is good depends on your location and costs; compare it with local median wages.
