Hourly to annual salary calculator

Turn an hourly rate into a yearly gross-pay estimate using your paid hours and weeks. Adjust the schedule instead of assuming every job uses 40 hours and 52 weeks.

$25 an hour × 40 paid hours a week × 52 paid weeks is $52,000.00 a year, or an average $4,333.33 a month, before deductions. With 50 paid weeks, the annual total is $50,000.00.

Calculate with your numbers

Your amounts stay in this page. They are not saved or added to the link. All amounts are before deductions.

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.

The calculation

Annual gross income = hourly rate × paid hours per week × paid weeks per year + additional annual cash bonus.

These fixed examples use the same rules as the calculator above, so you can compare the assumptions.

Choose paid weeks, including paid leave

A 52-week estimate assumes the entered paid hours are covered throughout the reference year. Paid vacation can be included in those weeks; unpaid time off should be left out. A seasonal or part-year job may need fewer paid weeks even if its hourly rate is unchanged.

For example, reducing 52 paid weeks to 50 removes two weeks of pay from the annual estimate. It does not change the hourly rate. The monthly result is annual income divided by 12, so it is an average rather than the amount paid in each calendar month.

Keep bonuses separate from the base rate

Use the additional bonus field only for cash pay not already represented by the entered rate and schedule. A $2,000 bonus adds $2,000 to annual income; it is not multiplied by paid weeks. The resulting hourly equivalent includes that bonus spread over paid hours, so it may exceed the base rate you entered.

This estimate applies one straight rate to all entered paid hours. It does not decide whether any hours qualify for an overtime premium. If you need to compare the paycheck schedule, use the biweekly page to see the difference between every two weeks and twice a month.

Gross pay, paid hours and actual work

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.
