Frequently asked questions
- How do I convert an annual salary to an hourly rate?
- Divide the salary by the hours you work in a week times the weeks in the year. $60,000 ÷ (40 × 52) is $28.85 an hour. Change the hours or the weeks to match your job.
- How much is $50,000, $75,000 or $100,000 a year per hour?
- At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, $50,000 is $24.04 an hour, $75,000 is $36.06 and $100,000 is $48.08.
- What happens to the hourly rate if the salary covers fewer weeks?
- It goes up, because the same pay is spread over fewer hours. $60,000 over 50 weeks at 40 hours a week is 2,000 hours and $30.00 an hour, and over 48 weeks it is $31.25.
- How do unpaid days off change my pay?
- Each unpaid day takes out one fifth of a week’s pay, the daily rate, and one fifth of a week’s hours. On $60,000, 10 unpaid days cost $2,307.69, leave $57,692.31 and cut the year to 2,000 hours. The hourly rate itself does not change.
- Why do some sources use 2,087 hours instead of 2,080?
- The U.S. Office of Personnel Management divides federal annual pay by 2,087 hours. That figure averages the 28 years it takes the calendar to repeat: seven have 260 workdays, 17 have 261 and four have 262. A 40-hour, 52-week year is 2,080 hours. On $60,000 that is $28.75 an hour against $28.85 here. The tool uses the hours and weeks you enter.
- Is the hourly rate before or after tax?
- Before. It is gross pay. Taxes, benefits, bonuses and overtime are not in the figures.
