Hourly Wage Calculator
At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, $25 an hour comes to $52,000 a year, or $4333.33 a month before tax. A $60,000 salary works out to $28.85 an hour.
How to use
- Choose what you know: hourly rate, weekly pay, monthly pay or annual salary, and enter the amount.
- Set hours per week, weeks worked per year (use fewer than 52 if you have unpaid time off) and days per week.
- Read the hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly and annual figures. The amounts are before tax.
How it works
Annual pay = hourly rate x hours per week x weeks per year. Weekly pay = annual pay / weeks per year. Monthly pay = annual pay / 12. Biweekly pay = weekly pay x 2. Daily pay = weekly pay / days per week.
To go the other way, hourly rate = annual salary / (hours per week x weeks per year). $60,000 a year at 40 hours for 52 weeks is 60,000 / 2,080 = $28.85 an hour.
The standard full-time year is 2,080 hours (40 x 52). If you take two unpaid weeks, use 50 weeks and the same salary gives a higher hourly rate. Figures are gross, before income tax, social security and other deductions, and they ignore overtime premiums, bonuses and unpaid breaks.

FAQ
How many hours are in a work year?
A standard full-time year is 2,080 hours: 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. Paid holidays and paid leave still count, so it stays 2,080. If you take unpaid time off, use a lower number of weeks.
Is this before or after tax?
Before tax. The tool does not know your tax bracket or deductions, so your take-home pay will be lower.
Why is monthly pay not weekly pay x 4?
A year has about 4.33 weeks per month (52 / 12), not 4. Weekly x 4 undercounts by roughly 8 percent.
