Hourly equivalent of annual salary. The Salary to Hourly Calculator takes annual salary, hours worked per week, paid weeks per year and returns hourly rate plus daily rate (5-day week), monthly pay. Results update as you type, and the formula is shown under the result so you can repeat it in your own spreadsheet.
Payroll figures should follow the rules in your contracts and local law. Where a rule differs between states or countries, adjust the inputs; the calculator shows its assumptions so you can check them against your own policy. Use the worked example below to check the maths against your own figures.
How the Salary to Hourly Calculator works
A $60,000 salary on a 40-hour week is $28.85 an hour. Use it to compare salaried offers with contract rates, remembering the contract rate has to cover benefits and unpaid time too.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is hourly rate calculated?
hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year).
Which figures do I need?
Annual salary, hours worked per week, paid weeks per year. Take them from the same period and the same set of accounts or reports so the ratio is consistent, and check the example values as a guide to the units expected.
Do the rules differ by location?
Yes. Statutory rates, ceilings and eligibility conditions vary by country and often by state. Adjust the inputs to your jurisdiction and confirm with your payroll provider or labour law adviser.
