The hourly to salary formula
Annual salary = hourly rate ร hours per week ร 52. For a standard full-time schedule of 40 hours a week that is hourly rate ร 2,080. To go the other way, divide your annual salary by 2,080.
- Weekly pay = hourly rate ร hours per week
- Biweekly pay = weekly pay ร 2
- Semi-monthly pay = annual รท 24
- Monthly pay = annual รท 12

If you don't work 40 hours a week
Part-time and unusual schedules change the multiplier. Multiply your hourly rate by weekly hours and by 52: at 30 hours a week the factor is 1,560; at 35 hours 1,820; at 37.5 hours 1,950. Paid time off counts as paid hours for salaried staff but not for most hourly workers, so hourly annual pay depends on how many hours you actually work.
