    How to convert salary to hourly

    Divide annual salary by hours worked per year. Full-time is usually 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours. So $65,000 a year is $31.25 an hour.

    The formula

    Hourly = Annual salary ÷ (hours per week × paid weeks per year)
    Annual = Hourly × hours per week × paid weeks per year

    If you take unpaid time off, reduce paid weeks per year. Biweekly pay assumes 26 pay periods; monthly assumes 12.

    The calculator gives a hourly wage of $31.25. Other results: hourly$31.25, daily$250.00, weekly$1,250.00, every 2 weeks$2,500.00.

    What your results mean

    Conversions use your hours per week and weeks worked per year. The standard full-time year is 2,080 hours (40 × 52). If you take unpaid time off, reduce the weeks to see your real hourly rate.

    Tips

    • Compare job offers on total compensation, not just base pay.
    • For salaried exempt jobs with long weeks, enter your real hours to see your effective rate.
    • Biweekly pay means 26 paychecks a year, so two months each year have three paydays.
