Effective hourly rate (with unpaid time off)

If you're a contractor or freelancer and your time off is unpaid, your real hourly rate is higher than the standard math suggests. Set how many weeks per year you actually take off.

How the salary-to-hourly math works

The standard formula divides annual salary by total working hours per year. With a 40 hour week and 52 weeks per year that's 2,080 hours. So $100,000 salary divided by 2,080 hours is about $48.08 per hour.

Going the other way, multiply hourly by hours per week, then by weeks per year. $30 per hour at 40 hours per week for 52 weeks is $62,400 a year.

This calculator does no tax math. It assumes you're paid for every working hour and reports the equivalent dollar figure across pay periods. For after-tax take-home you need a different tool. For the contractor parity question - "what 1099 hourly equals my W2 salary?" - use the Contractor Rate Calculator.

Frequently asked questions

How do you convert annual salary to hourly?
Divide annual salary by total working hours per year. The default convention is 40 hours per week times 52 weeks = 2,080 hours per year, so a $100,000 salary equals $48.08 per hour. If you want to factor in unpaid time off, drop weeks per year to 50 (two weeks off) or lower.
How do you convert hourly to salary?
Multiply hourly rate by hours per week, then by weeks per year. The default 40 x 52 = 2,080 gives the standard annualized figure. A $30 per hour rate at 40 hours per week for 52 weeks is $62,400 annual.
Why does my actual hourly feel lower than this number?
Because the standard formula assumes you're paid for all 52 weeks (including holidays and PTO that the company gives you). If you're a contractor and your time off is unpaid, your effective hourly is your salary divided by the weeks you actually bill - usually 47 or 48 weeks. The Effective rate panel below recomputes for that case.
What about overtime or part-time hours?
Edit the hours per week field. The calculator updates instantly. For part time at 25 hours per week, 25 x 52 = 1,300 hours, so a $50,000 salary equals $38.46 per hour. Overtime pay rules vary by jurisdiction and aren't modelled here.
