Salary-to-Hourly Rate Calculator
Convert gross pay between hourly, monthly and annual periods.
Formula and assumptions
Annual to hourly · hourly pay = Annual pay ÷ (Working hours per week × Working weeks per year).
Monthly to hourly · hourly pay = Monthly pay × 12 ÷ (Working hours per week × Working weeks per year).
Hourly to monthly · monthly pay = Hourly pay × Working hours per week × Working weeks per year ÷ 12.
Hourly to annual · annual pay = Hourly pay × Working hours per week × Working weeks per year.
Use paid working weeks. Benefits, tax, overtime and unpaid leave are excluded.
