What is this?
The Hourly to Salary Calculator converts between hourly pay and annual salary in both directions, using the standard US full-time baseline of 40 hours per week for 52 weeks (2,080 hours a year) - with custom hours for part-time schedules. It answers the comparison every job seeker and hourly worker faces: what does this hourly offer actually pay per year, and how does it compare with a salaried role.
The anchors people search for: 15 dollars an hour is about 31,200 dollars a year at 40 hours; 20 dollars an hour is about 41,600; 25 dollars an hour is about 52,000; and the widely referenced 50,000 salary works out to about 24.04 dollars an hour before tax. Results are gross pay - before taxes and deductions - so compare after-tax reality separately.
Europeans work fewer annual hours: Germany averages about 1,340 hours a year, France about 1,500, and the UK about 1,530, versus about 1,790 in the US. Enter your real weekly hours for an accurate conversion - a 35-hour French contract at the same hourly rate pays notably less per year than a 40-hour US one, and the tool makes that comparison honest.
Paid time off matters: salary assumes payment for every week including holidays and vacation, while true hourly work may be unpaid when you do not work. Two offers with equal annual totals can differ once unpaid time off is counted.

Formula
Annual = Hourly x Hours/Week x 52
Hourly = Annual / (Hours/Week x 52)
US full-time baseline: 40 x 52 = 2,080 hours/year
Hourly = Annual / (Hours/Week x 52)
US full-time baseline: 40 x 52 = 2,080 hours/year
