Hourly rate
—
Convert an annual salary to an hourly rate — see the weekly, biweekly, and monthly breakdown, and compare against nearby pay rates.
Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ total hours worked per year (hours per week × weeks per year). This assumes 52 working weeks by default — reduce that if you take unpaid time off, to see your true effective rate.
hourly = salary ÷ (hours/week × weeks/year)
Divide your annual salary by the total hours you work in a year (hours per week × weeks per year). At 40 hours/week for 52 weeks, that's 2,080 hours — a $65,000 salary works out to about $31.25/hour.
Not by default — it assumes you work all 52 weeks. If you take unpaid leave, reduce the "weeks per year" field to get a more accurate effective hourly rate.
Biweekly means every 2 weeks (26 paychecks a year); semi-monthly means twice a month on fixed dates, like the 1st and 15th (24 paychecks a year). This calculator shows biweekly, which is the more common schedule for hourly employees.
