Convert salary to an hourly rate

When to use this calculator

Use this calculator to compare a salaried role with hourly work, understand the implied value of your working time or create a consistent basis for comparing job offers.

How to interpret the result

The hourly figure is a gross equivalent based only on scheduled hours. Paid leave and employer benefits can make a salaried position more valuable than the simple hourly conversion suggests.

Example: an $80,000 salary

At 40 hours per week for 50 working weeks, an $80,000 annual salary equals $40 per scheduled hour before taxes and benefits.

Limitations

The result excludes taxes, overtime rules, bonuses, health benefits, retirement contributions and unpaid commuting time unless you compare those separately.
