This free salary to hourly calculator turns a yearly or monthly salary into what it pays an hour, a day and a week.
Add your real hours, paid weeks, overtime and tax, and it shows your true hourly rate, not just salary ÷ 2,080.
I built it because a salary hides what your time is worth. Two jobs with the same salary can pay very different hourly rates once the hours differ.
Here's the formula, a worked example, and the hours that change the answer.
TL;DRKey takeaways
What is a salary to hourly calculator?
A salary to hourly calculator turns a salary into the hourly rate it works out to.
It's for comparing a salaried job with an hourly one, or a job offer with freelance work.
How salary becomes hourly
The math is the salary divided by the hours you actually work in a year.
A worked example
Here's the example the calculator loads: $60,000 a year, 40 hours a week, 52 paid weeks.
$60,000 ÷ (40 × 52) = $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85 an hour, or $230.77 a day over 5 days.
The hours that change the answer
The same salary pays less an hour the more you work.
| Hours a week | Hourly on $60,000 |
|---|---|
| 35 | $32.97 |
| 40 | $28.85 |
| 45 | $25.64 |
| 50 | $23.08 |
