Salary Calculator
Convert hourly to annual salary and estimate take-home pay after taxes. Includes hourly, weekly, monthly, and annual breakdowns.
How to Use the Salary Calculator
1. Pick a conversion — go hourly-to-annual or annual-to-hourly.
2. Enter your rate — your hourly wage or annual salary.
3. Set hours per week — 40 is the standard full-time schedule; adjust for part-time or overtime.
4. Add an estimated tax rate (optional) — get a rough take-home figure after federal, state, and payroll taxes.
The Salary Conversion Formulas
hourly = annual ÷ (hours/week × 52)
Monthly = annual ÷ 12, weekly = annual ÷ 52. Take-home = gross × (1 − tax rate). Tax estimates here are approximate; your actual withholding depends on filing status, deductions, and local taxes.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert hourly wage to annual salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by the number of hours worked per week, then by 52 weeks: annual = hourly × hours per week × 52. For a standard 40-hour week, annual = hourly × 2,080. For example, $25/hour = $25 × 2,080 = $52,000 per year.
How do I convert annual salary to hourly rate?
Divide the annual salary by the number of hours worked per year: hourly = annual ÷ (hours per week × 52). A $52,000 salary with a 40-hour week is $52,000 ÷ 2,080 = $25 per hour.
How much is taken out of a paycheck for taxes?
It depends on income, filing status, and location. As a rough estimate, federal income tax, Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%) together often total 20% to 30% of gross pay for middle incomes in the US. Use the optional tax field to estimate take-home pay, then confirm with a paycheck calculator or your tax professional.
What is the difference between gross and net pay?
Gross pay is your total earnings before any deductions. Net pay (take-home pay) is what remains after taxes, Social Security, Medicare, health insurance, and retirement contributions are withheld.
