Calculate Your Annual Salary from Hourly Pay
Enter your pay details below to estimate gross and net annual income.
Why use an hourly to annual pay calculator?
If you are paid by the hour, it can be hard to compare your income with salaried jobs. An hourly to annual pay calculator solves that problem by turning your hourly wage into yearly, monthly, biweekly, weekly, and daily estimates.
This is useful when you are:
- Comparing job offers
- Building a monthly budget
- Planning savings goals
- Estimating take-home pay after taxes
How the calculator works
The core formula is simple:
Annual gross pay = (Hourly rate × Regular hours per week + Hourly rate × Overtime multiplier × Overtime hours) × Weeks worked per year
From there, the calculator gives you quick pay-period conversions:
- Monthly pay = annual pay ÷ 12
- Biweekly pay = annual pay ÷ 26
- Semimonthly pay = annual pay ÷ 24
- Weekly pay = annual pay ÷ weeks worked
- Daily pay = weekly pay ÷ work days per week
Example conversion table
| Hourly Rate | Hours/Week | Weeks/Year | Estimated Annual Gross |
|---|---|---|---|
| $15.00 | 40 | 52 | $31,200 |
| $20.00 | 40 | 52 | $41,600 |
| $25.00 | 40 | 52 | $52,000 |
| $30.00 | 40 | 52 | $62,400 |
Gross pay vs. net pay
Your gross pay is what you earn before deductions. Your net pay is what you keep after federal, state, local taxes, and payroll deductions. This calculator includes an estimated tax field so you can quickly model the difference.
Common deductions to remember
- Federal income tax
- State and local income tax (if applicable)
- Social Security and Medicare (FICA)
- Health insurance premiums
- Retirement contributions (401(k), 403(b), IRA)
Tips for better income planning
1) Use realistic weeks worked
If you usually take unpaid time off, do not assume 52 weeks. Try 48 to 50 weeks for a more conservative estimate.
2) Separate regular and overtime hours
Overtime can dramatically change your annual earnings. Keep your estimates accurate by entering typical overtime separately.
3) Recalculate when your schedule changes
Hourly jobs often have fluctuating shifts. Re-running the numbers monthly can keep your budget aligned with reality.
Frequently asked questions
How many work hours are in a year?
A common baseline is 2,080 hours (40 hours × 52 weeks). But your number may be lower if you work fewer hours or fewer weeks.
Can I use this for part-time jobs?
Yes. Enter your actual weekly hours and weeks worked. The calculator works for part-time, full-time, seasonal, and overtime-heavy schedules.
Is this calculator exact?
It is an estimate. Final take-home pay depends on your location, withholding setup, benefits, and payroll-specific deductions.
