# Hourly to salary calculator What your hourly rate really adds up to.

Free tool

Job ads mix hourly rates and salaries, which makes them hard to compare. Type a rate and your hours, add any overtime, and see the yearly, monthly and weekly totals. You can also start from a salary and get the hourly rate.

In short

To turn an hourly wage into a yearly salary, multiply the rate by hours per week and then by 52 weeks. At 40 hours, that is the hourly rate times 2,080, the same factor BLS uses. So $20 an hour is about $41,600 a year and $25 is about $52,000, before taxes. Overtime at time and a half adds more.

## Quick reference at 40 hours a week

| Hourly | Weekly | Monthly | Yearly |
|---|---|---|---|
| $15 | $600 | $2,600 | $31,200 |
| $18 | $720 | $3,120 | $37,440 |
| $20 | $800 | $3,467 | $41,600 |

| $30 | $1,200 | $5,200 | $62,400 |

## Things that change the real number

Unpaid time off lowers your total, so set fewer paid weeks if you will not be paid for holidays or breaks. Overtime raises it. Taxes, health insurance and retirement contributions come out of these gross figures.
