Pick a direction, then enter the amount, your hours per week and your paid weeks per year. The gross-pay breakdown - hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly and annual - updates as you type, with a reference table of common hourly rates below the result. Switching direction converts the amount you already entered in place, so an annual salary flips back to its hourly equivalent without retyping anything.
Hourly to Salary Calculator
The hourly to salary calculator converts an hourly wage into weekly, biweekly, monthly and annual gross pay, or turns an annual salary back into its equivalent hourly rate.
Pick a direction, enter the amount, then set your hours per week and your paid weeks per year - the gross-pay breakdown updates on screen as you type.
How each gross-pay figure is calculated
The calculator shows the hourly, weekly, biweekly, monthly and annual figures together in one breakdown. Each line is plain gross-pay arithmetic, so you can check any amount by hand:
| Pay period | How the calculator works it out |
|---|---|
| Hourly | the rate you enter |
| Weekly | hourly rate times hours per week |
| Biweekly | two weekly paychecks |
| Monthly | annual pay divided by 12 |
| Annual | hourly rate times hours per week times paid weeks per year |
Inputs, ranges and switching direction
- Direction: hourly rate to annual salary, or annual salary to hourly rate.
- Amount: the hourly rate or salary you are converting.
- Hours per week: half-hour steps from 1 to 100, default 40.
- Paid weeks per year: 1 to 53, default 52, so part-time schedules and unpaid-break years are one edit away.
Switching the direction converts the amount you already entered in place, so the result stays equivalent instead of resetting.
The common-rates reference table
Below the result, a reference table lists common hourly rates from 15 to 50 with their weekly and annual gross pay at a standard 40-hour, 52-week schedule - a quick anchor when you compare a job offer against the number you already have in mind.
Gross pay only
Every figure is gross pay before taxes and deductions - the result says so itself, and the page makes no take-home or tax claims. It gives a general estimate, not tax or financial advice.
Your salary figures stay in your browser
The wage and salary numbers you enter never leave this page. Every calculation runs locally in your browser, with no upload and no account, and nothing you type is stored or sent anywhere - so a rate you are weighing against a job offer stays private to you.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the hourly to salary calculator do?
It converts an hourly rate into weekly, biweekly, monthly and annual gross pay from your hours per week and paid weeks per year - and in the other direction it turns an annual salary into its equivalent hourly rate.
How is the annual salary calculated?
Annual gross pay equals the hourly rate times hours per week times paid weeks per year. The monthly figure is the annual divided by 12, and biweekly is two weekly paychecks. The defaults are 40 hours and 52 weeks; both are editable.
Does it show take-home pay after taxes?
No. Every figure is gross pay before taxes and deductions - the tool makes no tax, deduction or take-home-pay claims, and the result says so directly. It is not tax or financial advice.
Can I use it part-time or with unpaid weeks?
Yes. Hours per week accepts half-hour steps from 1 to 100, and paid weeks per year accepts 1 to 53 - set 20 hours or 48 paid weeks and every line in the breakdown follows.
Does anything I enter leave my browser?
No. The conversion is computed locally in the page - nothing is uploaded, stored or sent, and no account is needed.
