§ 02 / ABOUT
Hourly ↔ annual in one step.
The US default assumes a 40-hour work week and 52 weeks per year — 2,080 hours total. At $25/hour that's $52,000/year gross. Flip it the other way: a $100,000 salary divided by 2,080 = ~$48/hour. This calculator also breaks out weekly, biweekly (26 paychecks), and monthly (12 paychecks) figures.
// WATCH-OUTS
- Gross, not net — this is pre-tax, pre-benefit. Take-home is usually 25–35% lower.
- PTO changes the picture — salaried workers are paid for holidays; hourly contractors typically aren't. Reduce effective weeks to 48–50 to compare fairly.
- Benefits matter — employer-paid health insurance, 401(k) match, and equity are worth tens of thousands that don't show on the pay stub.
// QUICK-LOOK RULES
To go hourly → annual, multiply by 2000 for a quick estimate (50 weeks × 40 hours). To go annual → hourly, divide by 2000. The full 52-week math is 4% higher.

§ 02 / FAQ
Questions. Answered.
How is annual salary calculated from an hourly rate?+
Multiply hourly rate by hours worked per week by 52 weeks per year. $25/hr × 40 hrs/wk × 52 wks = $52,000/year. Monthly is annual ÷ 12; biweekly is weekly × 2; daily assumes an 8-hour day.
Is this pre-tax or post-tax?+
Pre-tax. This is your gross salary — what shows on your offer letter or W-2 wages, before federal income tax, state tax, FICA, health insurance, 401(k), and other deductions. Your take-home pay will be 20–35% lower depending on your bracket and benefits.
Does this account for overtime or PTO?+
No overtime (which is typically 1.5× hourly past 40 hrs/week in the US for non-exempt workers). No unpaid PTO adjustment either — assumes 52 paid weeks. For salaried exempt roles, these distinctions don’t apply.
Why 52 weeks instead of 52.14?+
52 is the convention for payroll calculations even though a year has 52.14 weeks. The extra 0.14 weeks gets absorbed into the biweekly schedule (26 paychecks) or leap-year adjustments. Using 52 makes the math clean and matches how employers state salary offers.
