How to use this calculator
Use this calculator to compare salary offers, estimate part-time equivalents, or understand what your yearly pay means by the hour.
How the calculation works
- Multiplies weekly hours by paid weeks per year.
- Divides annual salary by total annual work hours.
- Shows weekly and monthly equivalents for quick comparison.
Formula
Hourly rate = annual salary / (hours per week x paid weeks per year).
Example
A 60,000 salary over 40 hours per week and 52 paid weeks equals about 28.85 per hour.
