Question 1

How do I convert hourly pay to yearly salary?

Accepted Answer

Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per week, then by the number of weeks you work per year. For a full-time worker at 40 hours/week and 52 weeks, yearly salary = hourly rate x 40 x 52 = hourly rate x 2,080. This calculator does the math for you instantly.

Question 2

How many work hours are in a year?

Accepted Answer

A standard full-time year has 2,080 working hours (40 hours x 52 weeks). If you get 2 weeks of unpaid vacation, it is 2,000 hours (40 x 50). You can change the weeks-per-year field in this calculator to match your real schedule, including holidays and PTO.

Question 3

Does this calculator include overtime?

Accepted Answer

Optionally yes. Turn on overtime, enter your extra weekly hours, and set the overtime multiplier (the U.S. FLSA default is 1.5x time-and-a-half). The calculator adds overtime pay to your base salary. Turn it off for a straight-time estimate.

Question 4

Is the calculation before or after taxes?

Accepted Answer

All amounts shown are gross (pre-tax). Your take-home pay will be lower after federal, state, Social Security, Medicare and benefit deductions. Use the result as a starting point and apply your local tax rates separately.
