What this calculator does

Comparing a salaried offer with hourly work, or pricing your time, starts with an equivalent hourly rate.

Formula and method

Hourly = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks actually worked)

Worked example

Calculated by this tool with its default inputs:

Inputs

  • Annual salary: 52000 (any currency)
  • Hours worked per week: 40
  • Paid weeks per year: 52
  • Unpaid weeks off (optional): 0

Results

  • Hourly rate: 25
  • Daily (5-day week): 200
  • Weekly: 1,000
  • Hours worked per year: 2,080

How to read the results

Unpaid leave raises the effective hourly rate because the same salary is earned over fewer hours.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Benefits, bonuses and overtime are not included.

Tax and payroll figures depend on rules that differ by country, region and year and change often. Enter official current rates, and consult the tax authority or a qualified adviser — nothing here is tax advice.

Questions

Should I use 52 weeks?

Use 52 if holidays are paid. Subtract unpaid weeks to get the rate per hour actually worked.
