Salary Converter
Convert pay between hourly, weekly, monthly, and annual — set your own hours and weeks worked.
At $25 per hour working 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, your annual salary is 25 × 40 × 52 = $52,000 per year. That works out to $1,000 per week and about $4,333 per month (52,000 ÷ 12). Change the rate, hours, or weeks and every figure updates together.
How pay periods relate
Hourly, weekly, monthly, and annual pay are all the same number expressed over different stretches of time. The bridge between them is your annual figure: once you know what you earn in a year, weekly is that divided by the weeks you work, monthly is it divided by 12, and hourly is it divided by your total hours worked in the year. Everything here flows from two assumptions you control — hours per week and weeks per year.
weekly = hourly × hours/week · monthly = annual ÷ 12 · hourly = annual ÷ (hours/week × weeks/year)
Worked example
$25 an hour, 40 hours a week, 52 weeks a year.
- 1 Multiply hourly pay by hours per week. 25 × 40 = $1,000 per week.
- 2 Multiply the weekly figure by weeks worked. 1,000 × 52 = $52,000 per year.
- 3 Divide the annual figure by 12 for monthly. 52,000 ÷ 12 ≈ $4,333 per month.
- 4 Divide annual by total yearly hours to check hourly. 52,000 ÷ (40 × 52) = $25 per hour.
Common hourly rates as an annual salary
Assumes 40 hours a week for 52 weeks (2,080 hours a year). Fewer hours or unpaid weeks lower the annual figure.
| Per hour | Per week | Per year |

Gross vs. net, part-time, and unpaid weeks
These figures are gross pay — the amount before income tax, social-security or pension contributions, and any health or benefit deductions. Your take-home (net) pay is lower, and by how much depends on where you live and your tax situation, so treat the annual number as the headline figure rather than what lands in your account.
Part-time work simply means fewer hours per week: set hours/week to 20 and the same $25 rate becomes $26,000 a year. Unpaid weeks matter too — if you take four weeks off without pay, set weeks/year to 48 and the annual figure drops accordingly. Salaried roles usually assume a full 52 paid weeks because paid time off is already built into the salary.
