Frequently Asked Questions
How do I calculate my hourly rate from an annual salary?
Divide your annual salary by the total hours you work per year. For a standard 40-hour week over 52 weeks, that's 2,080 hours. A $60,000 salary ÷ 2,080 = $28.85/hour.
What if I work overtime?
This calculator uses a flat hourly rate. For overtime at 1.5× pay, use OvertimePayCalc.com.
Does this include taxes?
No. All figures are pre-tax. Use AfterTaxSalaryCalc.com to see after-tax salary.
What about benefits?
Benefits aren't included in this conversion. Use TotalCompCalc.com for total compensation comparisons.
Why does the daily rate look wrong?
Daily salary divides weekly hours by 5 (a standard work week). If you work 4 days/week, the daily rate shown won't match your actual daily earnings.
What weeks-per-year should I enter?
Use 52 if you have paid time off. Use 50 if you have 2 weeks unpaid vacation. Teachers and school staff typically use 42 weeks.
