A free salary-to-hourly converter. Enter a gross annual salary, the hours you work each week, and the weeks you work each year, and it divides the salary into an equivalent hourly rate along with daily, weekly, biweekly, and monthly figures. It is handy for valuing your time, pricing freelance work, or comparing a salaried role against contract or part-time pay. This is gross-pay arithmetic before taxes and benefits, not financial or payroll advice.
Questions
- How does it turn a salary into an hourly rate?
- It divides your gross annual salary by the total hours you work in a year — hours per week times weeks per year — to get the equivalent hourly rate.
- Why is my real hourly value lower than this?
- This figure is gross, before taxes and benefits, and assumes you are paid for every hour entered. If you work unpaid overtime, your effective hourly rate is lower than the result here.
- How do I value a salary at more than 40 hours?
- Raise the hours-per-week field. Entering 50 hours, for instance, spreads the same salary over more hours and lowers the equivalent hourly rate.
