How to convert a salary to an hourly rate
Hourly rate = yearly salary ÷ (hours a week × weeks a year)
$60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85 an hour
$60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85 an hour
A quick estimate: take half the salary in thousands. $60,000 → about $30 an hour. The real answer is a little lower, because a year has 2,080 work hours, not 2,000.
Limitations
- If you regularly work more than 40 hours, your effective hourly pay is lower. Enter your real hours in the converter.
- Bonuses, commissions and employer benefits aren't counted.
- The take-home column is an estimate. Use the take-home pay calculator for your own state and deductions.
