How many work hours are in a year?

A standard full-time schedule is 2,080 hours per year, based on 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, though this doesn't subtract unpaid holidays or time off.

Does this calculation account for overtime?

No, the standard conversion assumes a flat 40-hour week. Hourly employees who regularly work overtime at 1.5x pay will earn more than the basic estimate.

How do I convert a part-time hourly rate to annual pay?

Multiply the hourly rate by actual weekly hours, then by 52, instead of using the standard 40-hour assumption — for example, 20 hours a week at $20/hour is $20,800 per year.

About this Hourly to Salary Calculator

Comparing an hourly job offer to a salaried one requires converting both into the same unit. The standard conversion assumes a 40-hour work week and 52 weeks per year — 2,080 working hours annually — though actual take-home pay depends on unpaid time off, overtime, and part-time schedules.

The standard formula

Annual salary = Hourly rate × Hours per week × 52
Hourly rate = Annual salary ÷ 2,080 (for a standard 40-hour week)

Worked example

$25/hour at 40 hours a week: $25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 per year. Going the other direction, a $60,000 salary at a standard 40-hour week works out to $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85/hour.

What the quick formula leaves out

Unpaid time off: hourly workers who take unpaid vacation earn less than the 2,080-hour estimate; salaried employees typically don't lose pay for scheduled time off
Overtime: hourly workers are generally entitled to 1.5× pay past 40 hours in a week under US federal law; salaried exempt employees usually are not
Part-time schedules: for anything other than 40 hours a week, substitute the actual weekly hours into the formula rather than using 2,080
