Run the scenario.
The calculator is prefilled with the example above. Change any input and the result updates immediately in your browser.
- Annual pay depends on paid hours, not the hourly rate alone.
- Unpaid time off reduces the annual equivalent.
- Overtime should be calculated separately when it applies.
- Gross pay is not the same as take-home pay.
Multiply rate by paid working time
The simplest annual conversion is hourly rate × paid hours per week × paid weeks per year. At $25 × 40 × 52, the result is $52,000.
If your schedule is 30 hours per week or some weeks are unpaid, enter those real assumptions instead of using the common 40 × 52 shortcut.
Use the result as a comparison number
Hourly and salaried jobs can differ in paid leave, benefits, overtime and schedule stability. The annualized number helps compare gross pay, but it does not make those other factors equal.
