After-tax figures use 2026 federal, FICA and state taxes for the whole year, spread evenly across each period.

How this calculator works

Your weekly pay is your hourly wage × your regular hours, plus overtime hours × 1.5 × your wage. We multiply that by your paid weeks per year to get your yearly salary, then divide the year into months (÷ 12), twice-monthly paychecks (÷ 24) and biweekly paychecks (÷ 26).

After-tax figures run your yearly salary through the same 2026 tax engine as our take-home pay calculator: federal income tax after the standard deduction, Social Security and Medicare, and your state's income and payroll taxes. Read the full methodology for every assumption.

Common hourly wages as a yearly salary

Based on 40 hours a week and 52 paid weeks (2,080 hours). The last column is take-home pay for a single filer in a state with no income tax, such as Texas or Florida.

Things that change the answer

Unpaid time off. If holidays or vacation aren't paid, lower the paid weeks. Each unpaid week at $20 an hour and 40 hours costs $800.
Overtime. Federal law requires 1.5× pay for non-exempt hours over 40 a week. Salaried workers who are exempt don't earn overtime, so compare offers on regular hours.
Benefits. Salaried jobs often include paid leave, health insurance and retirement matches that hourly or contract work may not. Those are worth real money that a straight conversion leaves out.
Variable schedules. If your hours change week to week, use your average over the last few months.

Frequently asked questions

How many work hours are in a year?

A full-time schedule of 40 hours a week for 52 weeks is 2,080 hours a year. That's the standard figure for converting hourly pay to a salary, and it assumes your holidays and vacation are paid. With two weeks of unpaid time off, it's 2,000 hours.

How much is $20 an hour a year?

$20 an hour at 40 hours a week is $41,600 a year before taxes, or about $3,467 a month and $1,600 every two weeks. With two unpaid weeks off it's $40,000.

Is there a quick way to convert hourly pay to a salary?

Double your hourly wage and add three zeros. $25 an hour becomes about $50,000 a year. The shortcut assumes 2,000 working hours, so it slightly undercounts a full 52-week year (2,080 hours) and is closest if you take two weeks of unpaid leave.

How is overtime counted?

Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees earn at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. At $20 an hour, five overtime hours a week adds $7,800 a year, for $49,400 in total. Some states, such as California, also require overtime pay after 8 hours in a day.

How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?

Divide the yearly salary by the hours you work in a year. For a 40-hour week, that's salary ÷ 2,080: $60,000 a year is $28.85 an hour.

How much of my hourly pay do I keep after taxes?

It depends on your state and total income. In a state with no income tax, a single filer earning $41,600 keeps about $35,606 a year after 2026 federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare. Pick your state in the calculator above to see your own figure.
