Set your hourly pay and schedule to see annual, monthly, and weekly income

Hourly rate x hours x weeks = annual salary

Why this conversion matters

An hourly wage is easy to quote, but it hides the part that affects budgeting: how many hours you actually work and how often you work them. Two jobs can both pay $25 per hour and still produce very different annual incomes if one is part-time or seasonal.

This tool turns an hourly number into a realistic salary estimate so you can compare job offers, estimate monthly cash flow, and decide whether a contract or side gig is worth the time commitment.

Example Conversion Table

Assumes 40 hours per week and 52 weeks per year
Hourly Rate Annual Salary Monthly Pay Weekly Pay
$20.00$41,600.00$3,466.67$800.00
$25.00$52,000.00$4,333.33$1,000.00
$35.00$72,800.00$6,066.67$1,400.00
$50.00$104,000.00$8,666.67$2,000.00

If your schedule is different from the standard 40-hour week, the annual total changes quickly. That is why weekly hours and weeks per year matter just as much as the rate itself.

How does this tool work?

  • 1
    Enter your hourly rate: use your current wage, an offer you are considering, or a freelance rate you want to test.
  • 2
    Set your weekly hours: this makes the result realistic for part-time, full-time, or contract work.
  • 3
    Adjust weeks per year: reduce the number if you expect unpaid leave, seasonal work, or downtime between contracts.
  • 4
    Review the monthly view: monthly salary is often the most useful number for budgeting, rent, and savings planning.

The calculator multiplies your wage by the time you actually work. That makes it easy to compare offers that use different schedules or contract formats, and it helps you estimate how much room you have for rent, debt payments, and savings contributions.

How is this calculated?

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

If you earn $30 per hour, work 40 hours per week, and work 52 weeks per year, your annual salary estimate is $62,400. The same rate falls to $52,000 if you only work 50 weeks, which is why the schedule inputs are just as important as the rate itself.

When should you use this estimate?

Convert an hourly offer into an annual number before comparing it with salaried roles.

Use the monthly figure to map out rent, food, savings, and debt payments.

Freelance pricing

Check whether your hourly rate actually supports the annual income you need.

Frequently Asked Questions
