How to Convert Hourly to Salary
Quick answer
To convert an hourly wage to an annual salary, multiply your hourly rate by your weekly hours and then by 52 weeks. At 40 hours a week, simply multiply by 2,080. For example, $20 an hour × 2,080 = $41,600 a year, and $25 an hour × 2,080 = $52,000 a year, before taxes.
Worked exampleHourly to salary: $22.50 an hour
Say you earn $22.50 an hour and work 40 hours a week.
- Weekly pay: $22.50 × 40 = $900
- Annual salary: $900 × 52 = $46,800
- Monthly pay: $46,800 ÷ 12 = $3,900
- Every two weeks: $900 × 2 = $1,800
For a quick estimate, double your hourly rate and add three zeros. So $22.50 an hour is roughly $45,000 a year. The exact figure is a bit higher because a year has 2,080 work hours, not 2,000.

How Much Is $15, $20, $25 or $30 an Hour a Year?
Quick answer
At 40 hours a week, $15 an hour is $31,200 a year, $20 is $41,600, $25 is $52,000 and $30 is $62,400. After 2026 federal taxes, a single filer in Texas keeps about $27,249, $35,606, $43,962 and $52,318. In states with income tax, take-home pay is lower.
| Hourly wage | Annual salary | Take-home in Texas | Take-home in New York |
|---|---|---|---|
| $15.00 | $31,200 | $27,249 | $25,963 |
| $20.00 | $41,600 | $35,606 | $33,712 |
| $25.00 | $52,000 | $43,962 | $41,462 |
| $30.00 | $62,400 | $52,318 | $49,212 |
| $40.00 | $83,200 | $67,361 | $63,042 |
| $50.00 | $104,000 | $81,994 | $76,420 |
Note: Texas has no state income tax. New York figures include state tax, SDI and Paid Family Leave, but not New York City tax.
Minimum Wage as a Yearly Salary
Quick answer
The federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour equals $15,080 a year at 40 hours a week. Many states pay more. In 2026, California’s $16.90 equals $35,152 a year, New York City’s $17.00 equals $35,360, and Florida’s $15.00 (from September 30) equals $31,200.
Your state may also set a higher local minimum in some cities. The U.S. Department of Labor keeps a list of every state’s rate.
Part-Time Work and Overtime
Quick answer
For part-time work, use your real weekly hours. At $20 an hour, 30 hours a week is $31,200 a year and 20 hours is $20,800. Overtime adds more: five overtime hours a week at time and a half adds $7,800 a year at $20 an hour.
Here is the overtime math. First, $20 × 1.5 = $30 an hour for overtime. Then $30 × 5 hours × 52 weeks = $7,800. So a $20-an-hour worker with five overtime hours each week earns $49,400 a year. Our overtime calculator shows the after-tax value.
Hourly to Salary for Common Work Schedules
Quick answer
Not every full-time job is five 8-hour days. For example, three 12-hour shifts are 36 hours a week, so $40 an hour equals $74,880 a year. Four 10-hour days are still 40 hours, so the salary is the same as a regular week. Always enter your real weekly hours in the hourly to salary calculator.
| Schedule | Hours a week | Annual pay |
|---|---|---|
| Three 12-hour shifts | 36 | $74,880 |
| Four 10-hour days | 40 | $83,200 |
| Five 8-hour days | 40 | $83,200 |
| Five 9-hour days (5 hours of overtime) | 45 | $98,800 |
Unpaid holidays also matter. If your employer does not pay for six holidays, you lose 48 hours of pay. At $20 an hour, that is $960 less than the 2,080-hour figure, so lower your paid weeks in the calculator to match.
Hourly vs. Salary: Which Pays More?
The same yearly number can mean different things. An hourly job pays for every hour, including overtime, but you usually lose pay for unpaid days. A salaried job pays the same each period, and it often includes paid time off and benefits.
Hourly pay
- Paid for every hour, with 1.5× overtime after 40 hours.
- Easy to see the value of extra shifts.
Salary
- Usually a steady paycheck, even in slow weeks.
- Paid time off and benefits are more common, but exempt jobs get no overtime.
To compare two offers fairly, convert both to the same unit. For example, use this hourly to salary calculator for the hourly job and our salary to hourly calculator for the salaried one.
