The formulas
- Hourly = Annual salary ÷ 2,080. Example: $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85.
- Annual = Hourly × hours per week × 52. Example: $22 × 40 × 52 = $45,760.
- Monthly = Annual ÷ 12. Bi-weekly = Annual ÷ 26. Weekly = Annual ÷ 52.
- Quick mental math: halve the hourly rate and add "k" to get the approximate salary ($25/hour ≈ $50k). Divide a salary in thousands by 2 for the hourly rate ($80k ≈ $40/hour).
Adjusting for your real schedule
Salaried employees who regularly work 45 or 50 hours earn less per hour than the table suggests: $60,000 over 50-hour weeks is $23.08 an hour, not $28.85.
Hourly workers are only paid for hours worked. Two weeks of unpaid time off reduce a $25/hour income from $52,000 to $50,000. Paid holidays and paid time off are already included in a salary.

Part-time and overtime
Non-exempt hourly employees must be paid 1.5 times their rate for hours above 40 in a week. Yearly pay at different schedules:
| Hourly rate | 20 h/week | 30 h/week | 40 h/week | 45 h/week (5 h overtime) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $15 | $15,600 | $23,400 | $31,200 | $37,050 |
| $20 | $20,800 | $31,200 | $41,600 | $49,400 |
| $25 | $26,000 | $39,000 | $52,000 | $61,750 |
| $30 | $31,200 | $46,800 | $62,400 | $74,100 |
Comparing a salaried and an hourly job offer
Convert both offers to the same unit, then adjust for what is not in the headline number: paid time off, overtime eligibility, health insurance and retirement match. A $55,000 salary with no overtime can be worth less than $25 an hour with regular paid overtime.
A 4% 401(k) match on $55,000 adds $2,200 a year, about $1.06 an hour.
