Hourly to Salary Calculator

Convert an hourly rate into weekly, monthly and annual pay based on your weekly work hours.

How do you convert an hourly rate to monthly and annual pay?

The accurate conversion goes through the year: weekly pay × 52 weeks = annual pay, then ÷ 12 for monthly. That averages ≈4.33 weeks per month — more accurate than multiplying by 4, which loses almost a full month per year.

Example

$25/hour × 40 hours/week = $1,000/week → $52,000/year → $4,333/month on average.

Note: this is gross pay — before income tax and deductions. Use our salary calculator for net pay.

💡 Useful Tips

  • Full-time in the US is typically 40 hours/week (2,080 hours/year).
