Hourly ↔ Salary Calculator

Convert between hourly wage and annual, monthly, and weekly pay

What is this? Job offers come in different formats — hourly wages, annual salaries, contractor rates. This calculator converts between all of them and shows your effective hourly rate after accounting for overtime, benefits, and taxes.

The key insight: A $100K salary sounds better than $50/hr, but if you're working 60 hours/week, your effective hourly rate is only ~$32/hr. This calculator cuts through the confusion.

Who it's for: Job seekers comparing offers, freelancers setting rates, employees negotiating raises.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the salary to hourly conversion?

Annual salary ÷ (52 weeks × hours per week). A $70,000 salary at 40 hrs/week = $70,000 ÷ 2,080 = $33.65/hr. For salaried exempt employees, add the value of benefits (health insurance, retirement match, PTO) to get true hourly value.

How do I calculate overtime pay?

FLSA overtime: 1.5× regular rate for hours over 40/week. For hourly employees, it's simply 1.5× hourly rate. For salaried employees, calculate hourly equivalent first, then multiply overtime hours by 1.5×.

What is the salary threshold for overtime exempt status?

As of 2026, salaried workers earning $684/week ($35,568/year) or more may be exempt from overtime. Some states have higher thresholds (CA is $66,560/year for many positions). Exempt status depends on duties, not just salary.
