Quick answer

To turn an hourly wage into a yearly salary, multiply by 2,080 (40 hours × 52 weeks). To turn a salary into an hourly wage, divide by 2,080. The calculator below also estimates take-home pay with 2026 federal income tax and FICA, and you can add your state's rate.

Hours in a year: 2,080 or 2,000?

Payroll counts a full-time year as 2,080 hours: 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. A salary stays the same through paid holidays and vacation days, so the hourly equivalent of a salary divides by 2,080. If you are paid by the hour and take two weeks off without pay, you work about 2,000 hours, and $25 an hour comes to $50,000 a year rather than $52,000. Part-time schedules scale the same way: 30 hours a week is 1,560 hours a year and 20 hours a week is 1,040. Every hourly page shows the part-time and overtime figures for its rate.

Pay per paycheck

To find the gross pay on each paycheck, divide the yearly figure by the number of pay periods: 52 for weekly pay, 26 for every two weeks, 24 for twice a month and 12 for monthly. A $60,000 salary is $1,153.85 a week, $2,307.69 every two weeks, $2,500 twice a month and $5,000 a month before tax. Federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare come out of each paycheck, which is why every page also shows the 2026 take-home figure.

What a typical U.S. worker earns

The median wage across all U.S. occupations was $24.51 an hour (about $50,981 a year at full time, 2,080 hours) in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics for May 2025: half of wage and salary workers earned more and half earned less. Pages near that figure: $24.50 an hour and $51,000 a year. Each hourly page lists the occupations whose median pay is closest to its rate.

Every conversion, worked out

Each page shows the pay for every pay period, part-time and overtime schedules, the 2026 after-tax figure for employees and contractors, a budget, and what a raise is worth.

Negotiating your salary

A conversion tells you what an offer is worth by the hour, the paycheck and the year. Before you name a number or accept one, these guides cover what to say at each step:

Frequently asked questions

Multiply the hourly rate by 2,080, the hours in a full-time year (40 hours a week for 52 weeks). For example, $25 an hour is $52,000 a year.

Divide the salary by 2,080. For example, $60,000 a year is $28.85 an hour.

A full-time year is 2,080 hours (40 hours a week for 52 weeks). With two weeks of unpaid time off it is 2,000 hours.

Use 2,080 hours for a salaried job, because paid holidays and vacation count as paid hours. Use 2,000 hours, or fewer, for an hourly job where time off is unpaid: at $20 an hour that is $40,000 a year instead of $41,600.

Divide the yearly salary by the number of paychecks in a year: 52 if you are paid weekly, 26 every two weeks, 24 twice a month and 12 monthly. For example, $80,000 a year is $3,076.92 every two weeks before tax.

How we calculated this

Gross pay uses 40 hours a week for 52 weeks (2,080 hours), the standard payroll year. Take-home pay applies the federal income tax brackets and standard deduction for a single filer, Social Security (6.2% up to the wage base) and Medicare (1.45%, plus 0.9% above $200,000). It leaves out state and local income tax, pre-tax retirement contributions and health premiums, each of which lowers take-home pay; use the calculator to add a state rate. The self-employed figures add the 15.3% self-employment tax on 92.35% of net earnings and its half deduction, and leave out business expenses and the qualified business income deduction, both of which lower the tax bill.
