Frequently asked questions
What is the quick rule of thumb for salary to hourly?
Divide the salary in thousands by 2: at 40 hours a week and 52 weeks, $60,000 a year is about $28.85 an hour, close to the "60 / 2 = 30" shortcut. The exact divisor is 2,080 hours.
Should I use 52 weeks or subtract vacation?
For salaried jobs, keep 52: you are paid through vacation. For contract or hourly work with unpaid time off, subtract your unpaid weeks to see the honest annual figure.
Does this include taxes?
No, everything here is gross pay, which is how jobs are advertised. Take-home pay depends on your tax bracket, state, and deductions.
How do overtime hours change the math?
US hourly workers get 1.5x pay past 40 hours a week. A salaried role asking regular 50-hour weeks effectively pays its hourly equivalent times 40/50 for those hours, worth checking before comparing offers.
