Frequently asked questions
How do I convert annual salary to hourly pay?
Divide the annual salary by the number of weeks you work in a year, then divide by your average weekly hours. For example, $80,000 over 52 weeks at 40 hours per week is approximately $38.46 per hour.
How many working hours are in a standard year?
A 40-hour week over 52 weeks equals 2,080 working hours. Paid holidays and statutory leave reduce hours actually worked, though salaried employees receive pay for these periods.
Should I enter 52 weeks if I receive paid vacation?
Use 52 to see your contractual payroll rate. Use fewer weeks (for instance 46–48) to reveal what you earn per hour actually spent working on the job.
Do unpaid overtime hours affect my real hourly rate?
Yes. If you consistently work extra unpaid hours, enter your actual weekly hours into the calculator to see your real effective hourly rate.
