How is annual salary converted to hourly?

Hourly rate = annual salary / (hours per week x weeks per year). The default 40 hours x 52 weeks = 2,080 hours per year. For example, a 60,000 annual salary divided by 2,080 is about 28.85 per hour.

Why might my effective hourly rate be lower than expected?

Salaried employees often work more than 40 hours per week without additional pay. If you regularly work 45 or 50 hours, the effective hourly rate drops. Increase the hours-per-week input to see the actual rate.

How accurate is the take-home pay estimate?

The take-home estimate uses a single effective tax rate that you set. It is intended as a rough planning figure rather than a payroll-grade net pay calculation, since actual taxes depend on jurisdiction and deductions.

How it works

Annual salary equals hourly pay multiplied by hours per week multiplied by weeks per year. The default schedule of 40 hours per week across 52 weeks gives 2,080 working hours per year. The hourly equivalent of a salary is the annual figure divided by the same 2,080 hours. Bi-weekly equals weekly pay times two, and monthly equals annual divided by twelve. The optional take-home estimate multiplies the annual salary by (1 minus the effective tax rate you choose) and is a generic planning figure rather than a country-specific tax calculation.
