How to Use This Calculator
The default settings (40 hours/week × 52 weeks/year) assume no unpaid time off — useful for back-of-envelope comparisons between salary and hourly jobs. To model paid vacation, reduce weeks per year (e.g., 50 weeks if you take 2 weeks unpaid). To model a part-time role, lower hours per week.
The tax-rate input gives you a quick take-home estimate. For exact post-tax figures, see our take-home pay calculator which models US, UK, German and Indian tax brackets.
FAQ
How do you convert annual salary to hourly?
Divide annual salary by hours worked per year. Standard US assumption: 40 hours/week × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours. So $50,000 ÷ 2,080 ≈ $24.04/hour. Adjust if you take unpaid time off or work different hours.
How many hours are in a work year?
Most calculations use 2,080 hours (40 × 52). Subtract paid time off if you want a 'time at work' figure: 2,080 − (PTO days × 8) ≈ effective working hours.
Should I use gross or net for hourly calculation?
Use gross (pre-tax) for an apples-to-apples comparison with hourly jobs that quote gross rates. Use net (after-tax) if you want a real take-home view.
