How to convert salary to hourly

Why your real hourly rate may be different

Salaried employees often work more than 40 hours a week without overtime pay. At 50 hours a week, a $60,000 salary is only $23.08 an hour. Paid vacation, holidays and benefits push the value of a salaried job up, so compare total compensation, not just the hourly figure.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert my salary to an hourly wage?

Divide your annual salary by the number of hours you work in a year. For a standard full-time job, divide by 2,080: $50,000 ÷ 2,080 = $24.04 an hour.

How much is $60,000 a year per hour?

$60,000 a year is $28.85 an hour for 40 hours a week and 52 weeks a year.

What is a quick way to estimate hourly pay from salary?

Divide the salary by 2,000 — or halve it and drop the last three zeros. $70,000 is roughly $35 an hour (exactly $33.65 at 2,080 hours).

Should I use 52 weeks or 50 weeks?

Use 52 weeks if you are paid for vacation and holidays, which is typical for salaried jobs. Use 50 weeks or fewer if your time off is unpaid.

Is the hourly rate before or after taxes?

Before taxes. The detailed salary pages show take-home examples at several withholding rates.
