How to Convert Hourly Wage to Salary
Converting an hourly wage to an annual salary helps you compare job offers, plan a budget, or fill out forms that ask for yearly income. This article explains the formula, gives examples, and links you to our hourly to salary calculator and related tools.
How the Calculation Works
Annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year. Step 1: Choose hours per week (e.g. 40). Step 2: Weeks per year (52 if full-year). Step 3: Multiply. Examples: $22/hour × 40 × 52 = $45,760/year. $18/hour × 30 × 52 = $28,080/year. Overtime is not included; use our overtime pay calculator to add it.
