How to convert salary to hourly rate
Divide your annual salary by 2,080 to get an hourly equivalent. This calculator assumes 40 hours per week for 52 weeks — the most common full-time convention in the United States. Actual hours may vary for part-time roles, seasonal work, or jobs with significant overtime.
Gross hourly rate is a useful benchmark for comparing salaried offers to hourly contracts, but it does not reflect taxes or benefits. A $75,000 salary converts to $36.06 per hour gross; $100,000 converts to $48.08 per hour gross; $50,000 converts to $24.04 per hour gross — all before any withholding.
After-tax hourly take-home pay
Your net hourly rate is always lower than the gross figure above. Federal income tax, FICA (Social Security at 6.2% and Medicare at 1.45% on wages), and state income tax reduce each paycheck. Browse our hourly calculator pages for engine-computed net pay by state — for example, see take-home for $36/hr or see take-home for $48/hr.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many hours is a full-time work year?
Standard full-time employment assumes 2,080 hours per year — 40 hours per week multiplied by 52 weeks. Some employers use 2,087 hours for leave and accrual calculations, which produces a slightly lower hourly rate at the same annual salary.
How do I convert hourly to annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by 2,080 for standard full-time work. For example, $25 per hour times 2,080 hours equals $52,000 per year before taxes.
Is the salary-to-hourly rate the same as take-home pay per hour?
No. The hourly rate calculated here is gross pay before taxes. Your actual take-home hourly rate is lower after federal income tax, FICA taxes (Social Security at 6.2% and Medicare at 1.45% on wages), and state income tax where applicable.
