Quick Answer

A pay calculator converts an hourly wage into weekly, monthly and annual pay: weekly = hourly rate × hours per week, annual = weekly × working weeks, and monthly = annual ÷ 12, with an optional flat tax rate for net pay. For example, $25 an hour for 40 hours a week over 52 weeks is $1,000 a week, $4,333 a month and $52,000 a year. Use it to compare hourly and salaried offers; set the working weeks to exclude unpaid leave, and remember the flat tax rate is your own estimate, not a bracket calculation.

Core Equation

Conversions:
  Weekly  = Hourly × Hours per week
  Annual  = Weekly × Working weeks per year
  Monthly = Annual / 12
  Net     = Gross × (1 − Tax rate)

Full-time standard: 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours
Reverse: Hourly = Annual Salary / (Hours per week × Weeks per year)

Frequently Asked Questions — Pay Calculator

How many working hours are in a year?

A standard full-time work year in the US is 2,080 hours (40 hours/week × 52 weeks). This assumes no vacation, holidays, or sick leave. After subtracting typical paid time off (10–15 days), the actual worked hours are closer to 1,960–2,000 hours. Salary offers are generally quoted based on the 2,080-hour standard.

How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?

Divide your annual salary by the hours you work in a year. For a standard full-time job that is 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours, so $65,000 ÷ 2,080 = $31.25 an hour. If you work fewer hours or fewer paid weeks, use your own figures: at 37.5 hours a week for 52 weeks, $65,000 ÷ 1,950 = $33.33 an hour. Entering $31.25, 40 hours and 52 weeks here returns $65,000 a year.

Is a $25/hour job a good salary?

$25 an hour is $52,000 a year for 40 hours a week over 52 weeks, before tax. Whether that is a good salary depends on where you live and your career stage: it goes much further in a low-cost region than in New York or San Francisco. Under 2026 rules, a single US filer on $52,000 pays about $4,060 federal income tax and $3,978 FICA, leaving about $43,962 before any state tax.
