Hourly to Salary

What Does Hourly to Salary Mean?

Hourly to salary is a conversion used to calculate how much an employee’s salary would be based on their hourly pay. To calculate this, add up the number of hours an employee works in a year and multiply it by their hourly wage. For example, if an employee works 2,080 hours a year (the number of hours most salaried employees work each year based on a 40-hour workweek) and is paid 25 dollars an hour, their salary would be 52,000 dollars.

Hourly to Salary Calculation

You don't need a fancy calculation tool to calculate hourly to salary wages. Just multiply the amount of hours worked per week (e.g. 40) by the hourly wage (e.g. $16/hr). Then multiply that number by 52 (the number of weeks in a year).

$16 x 40 x 52 = $33,280

The annual salary, in this case, is $33,280.
