When to use this calculator
- Compare a salaried job offer against a freelance hourly rate
- Calculate your effective hourly wage when you work more than 40 hrs/week
- Estimate pay for a part-time or seasonal position (fewer weeks worked)
- Set a minimum freelance billing rate based on your target annual income
- Verify a contractor's quoted hourly rate against an equivalent salary
- Budget monthly and biweekly cash flow from an annual compensation package
Hourly Rate → Annual Salary (reverse lookup)
The other direction: what a given hourly rate works out to per year, week and month at a standard full-time schedule (40 hrs/week × 52 weeks = 2,080 hrs/year). Gross, pre-tax. Useful for freelancers and contractors quoting an hourly rate against a target annual income.
| Hourly Rate | Annual (2,080 hrs) | Weekly (40 hrs) | Monthly (annual ÷ 12) |
|---|---|---|---|
| $15/hr | $31,200 | $600 | $2,600 |
| $20/hr | $41,600 | $800 | $3,467 |
| $25/hr | $52,000 | $1,000 | $4,333 |
| $30/hr | $62,400 | $1,200 | $5,200 |
| $35/hr | $72,800 | $1,400 | $6,067 |
| $40/hr | $83,200 | $1,600 | $6,933 |
| $50/hr | $104,000 | $2,000 | $8,667 |
| $60/hr | $124,800 | $2,400 | $10,400 |
| $75/hr | $156,000 | $3,000 | $13,000 |
| $100/hr | $208,000 | $4,000 | $17,333 |
| $150/hr | $312,000 | $6,000 | $26,000 |
Annual = hourly × 2,080. A common freelance rule of thumb: divide your target annual salary by 1,000 for a rough billable hourly rate (e.g. $100k target ≈ $100/hr) — that ~2× markup over the literal $48/hr at 2,080 hours covers self-employment tax, benefits and unbillable time.
How it works
Annual Salary to Hourly Rate: Formula
The conversion divides your annual salary by total work hours in the year:
Total Hours/Year = Hours per Week × Weeks per Year
Hourly Rate = Annual Salary ÷ Total Hours/Year
Daily Rate = Hourly Rate × 8
Weekly Pay = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week
Biweekly Pay = Weekly Pay × 2
Monthly Pay = Annual Salary ÷ 12The U.S. standard full-time work year is 2,080 hours (40 hrs/week × 52 weeks), the figure used by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for federal civilian pay rates.
