How it works

From an hourly wage to a yearly salary

The math is simple: hourly wage times hours worked in the year. Full-time is 2,080 hours (40 hours a week, all 52 weeks), so you multiply your rate by 2,080 for the gross yearly figure. Drop to 50 weeks if you take two weeks unpaid, or change the hours in the converter for part-time.

Take-home is trickier, since it depends on your state, filing status, and deductions. The estimate here covers Social Security, Medicare, and a simplified federal income tax for a single filer, before state income tax, so treat it as a ballpark, not a paycheck.

Common questions

Questions about converting pay

How do I convert an hourly wage to a yearly salary?
Multiply your hourly wage by the hours you work in a year. Full-time is usually 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, or 2,080 hours. So $15 an hour is 15 x 2,080 = $31,200 a year before taxes.
How many hours are in a work year?
A standard full-time year is 2,080 hours (40 hours a week for 52 weeks). If you take two weeks of unpaid time off, it is 2,000 hours.
Is this before or after taxes?
The yearly figure is gross pay, before taxes. The converter also shows a rough take-home estimate for a single filer, before state income tax.
