Salary calculator
Convert pay between hourly, weekly, monthly and yearly.
About this calculator
Use this to compare a job offer quoted per year with one quoted per hour, or to check what your salary works out to per hour.
All figures are before tax. Take-home pay depends on where you live and on your deductions, which this tool does not estimate.
How it works
Everything is converted to a yearly figure using your hours and paid weeks, then divided back down.
Worked example
- Pay: $60,000
- Paid per: Year
- Hours a week: 40
- Paid weeks a year: 52
Per year: $60,000 (before tax)
The story behind it
Comparing pay used to be simpler, but now one job is quoted per hour and another per year. The common conversion assumes 40 hours for 52 weeks, or 2,080 paid hours a year. The 40-hour week itself became the US standard by 1940 under the Fair Labor Standards Act. Your hours may differ, so this calculator lets you change both numbers.
