The Hourly-to-Salary Formula
The math is a simple chain: hourly rate × hours per day = daily pay. Daily pay × days per week = weekly pay. Weekly pay × weeks per year = annual salary. For a standard full-time schedule — 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year — that’s 2,080 working hours a year, so your annual salary is simply your hourly rate multiplied by 2,080.
A few quick reference points at that standard schedule:
- $15/hour → $31,200/year
- $20/hour → $41,600/year
- $25/hour → $52,000/year
- $30/hour → $62,400/year
- $40/hour → $83,200/year
These reference points assume full-time hours with no unpaid time off. If you work part-time, take unpaid leave, or work a different schedule, use the calculator above with your actual numbers rather than these standard figures.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per day, then by the days you work per week, then by the weeks you work per year. For a typical full-time schedule of 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, that’s hourly rate times 2,080.
How much is $20 an hour annually?
At a typical full-time schedule (8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year), $20 an hour works out to $41,600 a year before tax. Enter your own schedule above if it differs from full-time.
How much is $25 an hour annually?
At a typical full-time schedule (8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year), $25 an hour works out to $52,000 a year before tax. Enter your own schedule above if it differs from full-time.
Does this account for overtime pay?
No. This calculator assumes a consistent schedule at your entered hourly rate. If you regularly work overtime at a different rate, calculate your regular and overtime pay separately and add them together.
Is the annual salary shown my take-home pay?
Not by default — it’s your gross salary. Enter your own Tax Rate and Other Deductions below to see an estimated Take-Home Pay based on your own numbers, since tax rules vary too much by country to calculate automatically.
Does this work for any country or currency?
Yes. The math is based purely on your hourly rate and your work schedule, with no country-specific rules built in, so it works with any currency and any work pattern worldwide.
