How this calculator works

The calculator divides annual pay by working weeks and weekly hours to estimate an equivalent hourly rate.

Change one input at a time to compare scenarios clearly. This is useful for planning, but it should not be treated as a final quote, tax calculation, lending decision, employment advice or professional recommendation.

Formula

Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ weeks per year ÷ hours per week

Worked example

An $85,000 salary over 52 weeks at 38 hours per week is about $42.00 per hour.
