A Salary to Hourly Calculator is a financial tool that converts your salary from one pay period to another, most commonly from annual salary to hourly wage. This conversion is essential for comparing job offers, understanding your true earning rate, budgeting, and negotiating compensation.
The fundamental formula for converting salary to hourly rate is based on the relationship between total compensation and total working hours:
Hourly Rate = Annual SalaryHours per Week × Weeks per Year
For a standard full-time employee working 40 hours per week for 52 weeks, the total annual hours equal 2,080 hours. If you take paid vacation, the weeks worked remains 52. If you have unpaid time off, you should adjust the weeks per year accordingly.
Annual to Hourly:
Hrate = Sannual ÷ (Hweek × Wyear)
Monthly to Hourly:
Hrate = Smonthly ÷ (Hweek × 52 ÷ 12)
Weekly to Hourly:
Hrate = Sweekly ÷ Hweek
Daily to Hourly:
Hrate = Sdaily ÷ (Hweek ÷ 5)
| Time Period | Hours (40 hrs/week) | Formula |
|---|---|---|
| Per Day | 8 hours | 40 ÷ 5 = 8 |
| Per Week | 40 hours | Standard |
| Per Month | 173.33 hours | 40 × 52 ÷ 12 |
| Per Year | 2,080 hours | 40 × 52 |

✗ Using 50 weeks instead of 52
✓ Correct: Use 52 weeks if you have paid vacation. Only reduce weeks for unpaid time off.
✗ Forgetting overtime hours
✓ Correct: If you regularly work more than 40 hours, include those hours for accurate hourly rate.
✗ Ignoring benefits value
✓ Correct: Remember that salaried positions often include benefits worth 20-30% of base salary.
✗ Not accounting for taxes
✓ Correct: This calculator shows gross pay. Net (take-home) pay will be lower after taxes.
✗ Assuming all months are equal
✓ Correct: Monthly hours vary (28-31 days). Annual calculation is most accurate.
Divide your annual salary by the total number of working hours in a year. For a standard 40-hour workweek over 52 weeks, that's 2,080 hours. Formula: Hourly Rate = Annual Salary ÷ 2,080. For example, ₹6,00,000 ÷ 2,080 = ₹288.46/hour.
First, calculate your annual salary (monthly × 12), then divide by total annual hours. Or use: Hourly = Monthly Salary ÷ (Hours/Week × 52 ÷ 12). For 40 hours/week, the average monthly hours is 173.33.
Adjust the "Hours per Week" field to match your actual working hours. For part-time (e.g., 20 hours), your hourly rate will be higher for the same annual salary because you're earning the same amount in fewer hours.
Yes, for accurate calculations. If you regularly work 45-50 hours per week, use that number instead of 40. This gives you your true hourly rate. Many salaried employees discover their effective hourly rate is lower than expected when accounting for overtime.
Reduce the "Weeks per Year" field. For 2 weeks unpaid vacation, use 50 weeks. For 4 weeks, use 48 weeks. This gives you a more accurate hourly rate based on actual paid working time.
Yes! The calculator works for any country. The standard assumption is 40 hours/week and 52 weeks/year. In India, many companies use 48 hours/week (6 days × 8 hours), so adjust accordingly.
Convert both to the same basis (hourly is easiest). Remember to factor in: (1) Benefits value for salaried jobs, (2) Overtime pay for hourly jobs, (3) Actual hours you'll work. A salaried job at ₹6L/year might seem better than ₹250/hour, but if the salaried job requires 50 hours/week, the hourly job might actually pay more.
It helps you: (1) Negotiate better salaries, (2) Compare job offers fairly, (3) Decide if overtime is worth it, (4) Price freelance work correctly, (5) Calculate if taking a pay cut for better hours is worthwhile, (6) Budget and plan finances accurately.
Gross hourly rate is before taxes and deductions. Net (take-home) hourly rate is after all deductions. This calculator shows gross rate. To estimate net, subtract approximately 20-30% depending on your tax bracket and deductions.
The 2,080 figure (40 hrs × 52 weeks) is the standard for full-time employees with paid vacation. If you have unpaid time off, work different hours, or want exact calculations, customize the hours and weeks fields for precision.
For most accurate results, track how many hours you actually work, not just your contracted hours.
Don't forget bonuses, commissions, and benefits when comparing total compensation.
A higher hourly rate in a high-cost city might be equivalent to a lower rate elsewhere.
