These are gross figures, before taxes and deductions. Lower "weeks per year" to account for unpaid time off.

How to convert salary to hourly pay

The formula is simple: hourly = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). A standard full-time schedule is 40 hours across 52 weeks, or 2,080 hours a year. The calculator also breaks your salary into weekly, biweekly, and monthly amounts.

When this is handy

  • Comparing a salaried job to an hourly or contract role.
  • Setting a freelance rate — remember to add a margin for taxes, benefits, and unpaid time.
  • Budgeting by paycheck — use the biweekly or monthly figure as your planning number.

Once you know your numbers, plan them with the 50/30/20 Budget Calculator and track progress with the Net Worth Calculator. More in our Banking guides.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert an annual salary to an hourly wage?
Divide your annual salary by the number of hours you work in a year. For a standard full-time schedule that's 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours. So a $65,000 salary is about $31.25 per hour ($65,000 ÷ 2,080).
How many work hours are in a year?
A standard full-time year is 2,080 hours (40 hours × 52 weeks). If you take unpaid time off, lower the "weeks per year" input — for example, 50 weeks gives 2,000 hours and a slightly higher effective hourly rate.
Is this before or after taxes?
These figures are gross (before taxes and deductions). Your take-home pay will be lower after federal, state, and FICA taxes, plus any benefits or retirement contributions.
