Why the hourly figure matters for a salary

A salary is paid for the job, not for the hours. If a salaried job regularly takes 50 hours a week instead of 40, the real hourly rate is a fifth lower than the table shows. Put your true hours in the calculator to see it.

What the table assumes

2,080 paid hours a year: 40 hours for 52 weeks, with paid leave counted as paid time.
A working day of 8 hours and 260 working days a year.
The dollar sign is only a label. The same arithmetic holds in any currency.

How each column is worked out

The month is the salary divided by 12, the week is the salary divided by 52, the day is the salary divided by 260 and the hour is the salary divided by 2,080. A quick check in your head: halve the salary and drop three zeros. $60,000 a year is roughly $30 an hour; the exact figure is $28.85.

Shorter contract weeks

Not every full-time contract is 40 hours. A 37.5-hour week makes 1,950 paid hours in the year and a 35-hour week makes 1,820, so the same salary is worth more for each hour: $60,000 a year is $28.85 an hour at 40 hours, $30.77 at 37.5 hours and $32.97 at 35 hours. The opposite holds for long weeks: at 50 hours, 2,600 in the year, it falls to $23.08. The calculator takes any number of hours and weeks.

Common questions

$40,000 a year is how much an hour?

$40,000 a year over 2,080 hours is $19.23 an hour before tax, or $769 a week and $3,333 a month.

$50,000 a year is how much an hour?

$50,000 a year over 2,080 hours is $24.04 an hour before tax, or $962 a week and $4,167 a month.

$75,000 a year is how much an hour?

$75,000 a year over 2,080 hours is $36.06 an hour before tax, or $1,442 a week and $6,250 a month.

$100,000 a year is how much an hour?

$100,000 a year over 2,080 hours is $48.08 an hour before tax, or $1,923 a week and $8,333 a month.
