Calculation Overview

Convert your hourly wage into annual, monthly, and weekly salary figures. Perfect for hourly contractors and freelancers.

Mathematical Model & Formula

Annual Salary = Hourly Rate * Hours per Week * Weeks per Year

Multiplies your hourly wage by your weekly hours to find weekly pay, and then scales that figure by your total weeks worked per year.

Variables Defined:
  • Hourly Rate: Your current hourly wage rate
  • Hours per Week: Average hours worked per week
  • Weeks per Year: Number of paid weeks worked per year

Worked Example Scenario

Scenario: An hourly rate of $30/hour based on 40 hours per week and 50 weeks worked.

  1. Weekly Pay = $30 * 40 = $1,200
  2. Annual Pay = $1,200 * 50 = $60,000

Result: Your equivalent annual salary is $60,000.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does a standard work year include holidays?

Many salaried positions include paid holidays in their 52-week calculation. For hourly workers, unpaid holidays must be accounted for by reducing the "Weeks Worked per Year" input.
