Pay & rates
Hourly to Salary Calculator
Annualize an hourly rate using explicit weekly hours and working weeks.
Use this to compare gross pay formats, not to estimate take-home pay or benefits.
What the result means
This is gross arithmetic under the supplied schedule. It excludes taxes, leave, benefits, unpaid time, and statutory rules.
The formula
Hourly rate * hours per week * working weeks per year
Results are displayed to at most two decimal places. Calculations use the unrounded inputs.
A worked example
Put the formula to work
- Hourly rate (currency per hour)
- 30
- Hours per week (hours)
- 40
- Working weeks (weeks)
- 52
Estimated gross annual pay (input currency): 62,400.00
Thirty per hour for forty hours over fifty-two weeks gives 62,400 gross annual pay.
How to use this calculator
- Set the gross hourly rate.
- Enter paid hours and paid weeks.
- Multiply the three values.
- Compare benefits and unpaid time separately.
Why this number matters
The assumptions show why two apparently similar pay offers can produce different gross totals.
