United States · English · Gross pay
See what an annual gross salary works out to per paid hour. Enter the hours and weeks behind the salary, and make clear whether bonuses are already included.
A $52,000 annual gross salary divided by 40 paid hours a week and 52 paid weeks equals $25.00 per paid hour. At 35 paid hours a week, the same salary is about $28.57 per paid hour.
Your amounts stay in this page. They are not saved or added to the link. All amounts are before deductions.
Changes the currency label only. No exchange-rate conversion or change of market rules.
Amounts are rounded to two decimals for display; intermediate values retain full precision. Payment figures are averages, not a dated payroll calendar or a prediction of each paycheck.
Hourly equivalent = annual gross income included in the calculation ÷ (paid hours per week × paid weeks per year).
These fixed examples use the same rules as the calculator above, so you can compare the assumptions.
Forty paid hours multiplied by 52 paid weeks gives 2,080 reference hours. That is a convenient model, not a universal measure of how much every salaried employee works. A different paid schedule changes the denominator and the hourly equivalent.
Keep salary and hours aligned. If the salary covers a full paid year including leave, removing paid leave from the denominator changes the question toward income per actual hour worked. It should not be silently mixed into a paid-hour comparison.
The result helps compare offers or understand a salary. It does not establish a contractual hourly wage, overtime eligibility or an overtime premium. Actual schedules, salary terms and other compensation can affect a comparison beyond this arithmetic.
The annual-income input starts with the assumption that it already includes all cash bonuses and extra pay you want to count. If it does not, clear that checkbox and enter only the additional annual bonus. This prevents the same bonus from being included twice.
Gross pay is the amount before income tax, payroll deductions and benefits deductions. This calculator does not estimate take-home pay, withholding or legal overtime. The currency selector changes the label only; it does not convert money or apply another country's payroll rules.
Paid hours can include paid time off. Actual labor hours exclude breaks and may answer a different question. Use a consistent paid-hours basis here. If your rate or schedule varies, calculate each part separately before comparing the totals; a single average rate does not reproduce a variable payroll.
