How to Convert Hourly to Salary
Basic Formula
Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × 52 weeks
For full-time: Hourly Rate × 40 × 52 = Annual Salary
Example Calculations
- • $15/hora × 40 horas × 52 semanas = $31,200/año
- • $25/hora × 40 horas × 52 semanas = $52,000/año
- • $35/hora × 40 horas × 52 semanas = $72,800/año
Salary Conversion Scenarios
Use these worked scenarios to sanity-check results and avoid common conversion mistakes.
Assumptions
- Standard full-time schedule: 40 hours/week and 52 weeks/year.
- Unpaid time off is not included unless you model it explicitly.
- Results are gross pay estimates; net pay depends on taxes and deductions.
Reduced schedule
Keep $30/hour but reduce from 40 to 32 hours/week.
Annual pay drops by ~20%; useful for evaluating flexible offers.
With overtime
Add 5 overtime hours weekly at 1.5x pay.
You can isolate how much annual increase is overtime-driven.

Frequently Asked Questions - Hourly-to-salary
How do I convert my hourly wage to annual salary?
Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then multiply by 52 weeks. For full-time (40 hours/week): hourly rate × 2,080 hours = annual salary.
Does the hourly to salary conversion include overtime?
Basic conversion assumes regular hours only. If you regularly work overtime, add those hours at 1.5x your regular rate to get a more accurate annual estimate.
What if I don't work the same hours every week?
Calculate your average weekly hours over a few months, then use that number. For seasonal work, calculate based on your active working period and adjust accordingly.
Should I include vacation time in my calculation?
If you get paid vacation, include those weeks in your calculation. If vacation is unpaid, subtract those weeks from 52 to get your working weeks per year.
How do part-time hours affect my annual salary calculation?
For part-time work, multiply your hourly rate by your actual weekly hours, then by 52. For example: $15/hour × 25 hours/week × 52 weeks = $19,500 annually.
What's the difference between hourly and salary positions?
Hourly employees are paid for actual hours worked and typically eligible for overtime. Salaried employees receive fixed pay regardless of hours worked and may be exempt from overtime.
How do I factor in benefits when comparing hourly to salary jobs?
Add the value of benefits (health insurance, retirement matching, paid time off) to your base salary. Benefits can add 20-30% to your total compensation package.
Should I negotiate hourly rate or try to get a salary position?
Consider your work style and financial needs. Hourly positions offer overtime pay and flexibility, while salary positions provide income stability and often better benefits.
