Know the numbers
How to use this calculator
Choose hourly-to-salary or salary-to-hourly. Enter the pay amount and the schedule you want to compare, including paid weeks per year.
A worked example
$20 per hour × 40 hours per week × 52 paid weeks = $41,600 per year. A 35-hour, 48-week schedule at the same rate gives $33,600.
The calculation
Annual hours = hours/week × paid weeks/year. Annual pay = hourly rate × annual hours. Hourly equivalent = annual salary ÷ annual hours.
Before you use the result
The schedule is an assumption, not a promise of paid work. Benefits, overtime, unpaid leave, taxes, and job classification are not included. Weekly equivalent is annual pay divided by entered paid weeks.
Common scenarios
Use this calculator whenever you need to verify your hours, check a paycheck, or prepare a timecard submission. The result is the same arithmetic the payroll department uses, displayed in a form you can inspect.
