Read the full answer — method, rates and figures
Quick answer: To turn an hourly wage into a yearly salary, multiply it by the hours you work in a year — 2,080 for a 40-hour week over 52 weeks. $25 an hour is $52,000 a year, $4,333 a month and $1,000 a week.
The quick rule: double the hourly rate and add three zeros ($25 → about $50,000). Going the other way, divide a salary by 2,080: $75,000 a year is $36.06 an hour.
After 2026 federal withholding, Social Security and Medicare, a single filer on $52,000 in a state with no income tax takes home about $43,962 a year ($1,691 every two weeks). Hours and weeks are assumptions you can change; taxes use IRS Publication 15-T (2026).

Annual pay = hourly × hours per week × weeks per year (default 40 × 52 = 2,080 hours), daily × days × weeks, weekly × weeks, biweekly × 26, semimonthly × 24 or monthly × 12; every other period is the annual figure divided back. Take-home runs the annual salary through the same 2026 engine as our paycheck calculator — IRS Publication 15-T federal withholding for a standard Form W-4 paid every two weeks, Social Security, Medicare and state income tax — with no pre-tax deductions.
Hours and weeks are assumptions: overtime, unpaid leave and bonuses change the real figures. Withholding is an estimate of the tax you'll owe, not the final bill.

- Enter your pay and choose hourly, weekly, monthly or annual.
- Set your hours per week and paid weeks per year.
- Choose filing status and state for take-home pay.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert hourly pay to a salary?
Hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year. At 40 hours and 52 weeks that's × 2,080: $20/hour = $41,600, $30/hour = $62,400, $50/hour = $104,000.
If you take unpaid time off, use fewer weeks.
How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?
Divide the annual salary by 2,080 (40 hours × 52 weeks): $50,000 = $24.04/hour, $100,000 = $48.08/hour. If you regularly work 45 or 50 hours a week on a salary, your real hourly rate is lower — enter your actual hours.
How much is $X a year per month?
Divide by 12 for monthly, 26 for biweekly (every two weeks), 24 for semimonthly (twice a month) and 52 for weekly. Biweekly pay gives 26 paychecks, so two months a year have three paydays.
What is my take-home pay on this salary?
The calculator runs the salary through 2026 federal income tax withholding (IRS Pub 15-T, standard W-4, no pre-tax deductions), Social Security (6.2% up to $184,500), Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% above $200,000) and your state's income tax. For 401(k), HSA and health premiums, use the full paycheck calculator.
Is salary or hourly better?
Hourly (non-exempt) workers must be paid time-and-a-half for hours over 40 a week under federal law; many salaried (exempt) workers are not. When comparing offers, convert both to annual pay at the hours you'd really work, and include benefits such as health insurance and 401(k) matching.
