How to Convert Hourly Wage to Annual Salary
The formula is simple: Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year = Annual Salary. For a standard full-time schedule of 40 hours over 52 weeks, multiply your hourly rate by 2,080 to get your annual gross salary.
However, knowing your gross salary is only half the picture. Federal income tax (10%–37% based on filing status), state income tax (0%–13.3% depending on state), Social Security (6.2%), and Medicare (1.45%) all reduce your actual take-home pay. Use our Paycheck Calculator to see your exact net pay after all deductions.
When comparing hourly to salaried positions, remember that salaried workers often receive benefits (health insurance, 401k matching, paid time off) that add significant value beyond the base salary. Our Paycheck Comparison Tool helps you evaluate these scenarios side by side.
