The conversion formula

Hourly rate = Annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year). The reverse is: Annual salary = Hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year.

Worked example

A $60,000 salary at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = about $28.85 per hour. That is $1,153.85 per week and $5,000 per month before tax.

How to use this calculator

  1. Enter a salary, an hourly rate, or both.
  2. Adjust hours per week and weeks per year if you work part-time or take unpaid leave.
  3. Select Calculate.
