Quick answer

To convert an hourly wage to an annual salary, multiply the hourly rate by the hours worked per week and then by the number of weeks worked per year. For example, $25/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000 per year.

Formula & method

annual = hourly × hours per week × weeks per year
  • hourly — pay per hour
  • hours per week — typical 40 for full-time
  • weeks per year — 52, or fewer if you take unpaid weeks

Monthly ≈ annual ÷ 12; weekly = hourly × hours per week. This is gross pay before taxes and deductions.

Examples

Example 1: $25/hour, full-time
Input
$25 × 40 hrs × 52 wks
Result
$52,000 / year
Why
25 × 40 = 1,000 per week; × 52 = 52,000.
Example 2: $18/hour, 35 hours
Input
$18 × 35 hrs × 52 wks
Result
$32,760 / year
Why
18 × 35 = 630 per week; × 52 = 32,760.
Example 3: With 2 unpaid weeks
Input
$30 × 40 hrs × 50 wks
Result
$60,000 / year
Why
Using 50 paid weeks instead of 52.

When to use this tool

  • Comparing an hourly job offer to a salaried one.
  • Estimating annual income for budgeting.
  • Quoting freelance or contract work as an annual figure.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming exactly 52 paid weeks. Unpaid time off lowers the annual figure.
  • Treating the result as take-home pay. This is gross, before tax.
  • Ignoring overtime, bonuses, or unpaid breaks, which this simple model excludes.

Frequently asked questions

＋ How do I convert hourly pay to annual salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by hours worked per week, then by weeks worked per year. For full-time that's usually rate × 40 × 52.

＋ Why use 2,080 hours for a year?

40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours, the common full-time baseline. So $1/hour roughly equals $2,080/year.

＋ Is this before or after tax?

Before tax. It estimates gross pay; your take-home will be lower after taxes and deductions.

＋ How do I account for unpaid time off?

Lower the weeks-per-year value. For two unpaid weeks, use 50 instead of 52.

＋ Is this financial advice?

No. It's a simple estimate for comparison and budgeting.
