Hourly to Salary Calculator
Convert any hourly wage to annual salary with customizable hours and tax estimates.
How the Hourly to Salary Converter Works
The standard formula is: Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year. With the default 40 hours/week and 52 weeks/year, that's 2,080 work hours per year. So a $25/hour rate equals $52,000 per year.
You can customize the hours per week and weeks per year to account for part-time schedules, unpaid time off, or overtime. For example, if you take 2 weeks unpaid vacation, set weeks to 50.
The tax estimate shows federal income tax and FICA (Social Security 6.2% + Medicare 1.45%) for a single filer with no state tax. For a full breakdown including your state, use our [salary calculator](/salary-calculator).
Frequently Asked Questions
How many work hours are in a year?
A standard full-time schedule has 2,080 work hours per year (40 hours/week × 52 weeks). Some employers use 2,087 for payroll accounting. If you get paid time off, the total hours worked may be less, but your salary stays the same.

Divide your annual salary by 2,080 (or your actual annual work hours). For example, $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85/hour.

$25/hour equals $52,000 per year before taxes. Whether this is sufficient depends on your location and cost of living. It's above the U.S. median hourly wage of approximately $23 (2024 BLS data).
How much is $15/hour annually?
$15/hour × 2,080 hours = $31,200 per year before taxes. After federal tax and FICA for a single filer, take-home pay is approximately $27,000.
