How salary converts to an hourly rate

The basic conversion is hourly = yearly salary / (hours per week x weeks per year). Using the defaults (40 hours/week and 52 weeks/year), that is 2080 working hours per year.

  • If your salary assumes fewer working weeks (for example, unpaid time off), lower weeks per year to avoid overestimating your effective hourly rate.
  • If you routinely work more than 40 hours/week without additional compensation, your effective hourly rate may be lower than the simple conversion.
  • For offers, compare both hourly and yearly numbers and consider benefits, bonuses, and overtime eligibility.
