About This Calculator
Converting between hourly wages and annual salary isn't as simple as multiplying by 2,080 hours (40 hours × 52 weeks). There are several important factors to consider when comparing compensation packages.
As an hourly worker, you typically: - Get paid overtime (1.5x for hours over 40/week in most cases) - May have variable hours week-to-week - Don't receive paid time off for holidays or vacation - Might have less job security and benefits
As a salaried worker, you: - Get the same pay regardless of hours worked - Typically don't qualify for overtime pay - Usually receive paid time off and holidays - Often get better benefits (health, retirement matching, etc.)
When converting, consider: - Effective working hours (2,080 is standard but reality varies) - Unpaid overtime expected in salaried roles - Value of benefits (often worth 20-30% of salary) - Job security and career growth opportunities
This calculator helps you see the true annual equivalent of your hourly rate, accounting for realistic working hours and time off.
