Convert between hourly, weekly, monthly and annual pay. Enter either an annual salary or an hourly rate to see all the equivalents.
These figures are gross pay before taxes and deductions. Your take-home pay will be lower depending on your tax situation.
Convert every job offer to the same basis — usually annual — to compare fairly, and factor in benefits, not just base pay.
Job offers and pay rates come in many forms — hourly, weekly, monthly, or annual — and comparing them fairly means converting everything to the same basis. This calculator translates between pay frequencies so you can see what an hourly wage means as an annual salary, or what a yearly figure works out to per hour. That clarity matters when weighing a salaried role against contract work, or comparing two offers quoted differently.
The conversions rest on a few standard assumptions about hours and weeks worked, which you can adjust to match your actual schedule for a precise result.
The core relationships assume a standard full-time schedule of 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year (2,080 hours annually):
annual = hourly × hours per week × weeks per year
An hourly rate of $30/hour at full time converts as follows:
| Pay basis | Amount |
|---|---|
| Hourly | $30 |
| Weekly (40 hrs) | $1,200 |
| Biweekly | $2,400 |
| Monthly | $5,200 |
| Annual | $62,400 |
Going the other way, a $62,400 salary equals about $30/hour — useful for judging whether a salaried role actually pays more than the hourly work it replaces once you account for the hours involved.
Pay a fixed amount regardless of exact hours, often with benefits, but may expect more than 40 hours without extra pay. Predictable income is the main advantage.
Pay for every hour worked, with overtime rules that can boost earnings, but income varies with hours and benefits are less common.
Often quote higher hourly rates, but you cover your own taxes, benefits, and unpaid gaps between projects. A higher headline rate does not always mean more net income.
Conversions show gross pay and are for educational purposes only. Actual take-home pay depends on taxes, deductions, and your specific schedule.
