Understanding your true earning potential is the first step toward effective budgeting and financial freedom. Our Hourly to Salary Calculator is designed to bridge the gap between your hourly wage and your annual financial goals. Whether you are negotiating a new job offer, considering a promotion, or transitioning to freelance work, knowing your yearly gross income is essential.
Many people think in terms of hourly pay, but most major expenses—like rent, mortgages, and car payments—are planned on a monthly or yearly basis. By using an hourly wage yearly calculator, you can see the "big picture" of your finances. This tool is particularly helpful for contractors who use our Freelance Hourly Rate Calculator to set their prices and want to see how those rates translate into a sustainable annual income.
It is important to remember that this tool calculates gross income. This is the total amount earned before taxes, insurance premiums, or retirement contributions are deducted. If you are receiving payments via digital platforms, you might also want to check our PayPal Fee Calculator to see how transaction fees might impact your final take-home pay.
For a standard full-time employee working 40 hours per week for 52 weeks, there are 2,080 work hours in a year. This is the figure most HR departments use for salary conversions.
If your PTO is paid at your standard hourly rate, you should keep the "Weeks per Year" at 52. If you take unpaid leave, you should subtract those weeks from the total (e.g., enter 50 weeks if you take 2 weeks of unpaid vacation).
This calculator assumes a consistent hourly rate. To calculate overtime, you would need to run the calculation separately for your base hours and your overtime hours (usually at 1.5x rate) and add the yearly totals together.
