Hourly to salary calculator
Enter an hourly rate to see what it pays per week, every two weeks, twice a month, per month and per year. Or enter a yearly salary to get the hourly rate.
The formula
Yearly pay = hourly rate × hours per week × weeks per year. A full-time year is 40 × 52 = 2,080 hours, so $20 an hour is $41,600 a year. To go the other way, divide the salary by 2,080: $50,000 a year is about $24.04 an hour.
A quick estimate: double the hourly rate and add three zeros. $20 an hour is about $40,000 a year. The exact figure is a little higher.

Every two weeks vs twice a month
Every two weeks (biweekly) is 26 paychecks a year, so two months a year have three paydays. Twice a month (semi-monthly) is 24 paychecks on fixed dates, such as the 15th and the last day of the month. Each semi-monthly check is a little bigger, but the yearly total is the same.
Unpaid time off and overtime
If you don't get paid vacation, lower the paid weeks per year: 50 weeks at $20 and 40 hours is $40,000, not $41,600. If you work overtime most weeks, add the hours. 5 hours of overtime a week at $20 adds 5 × $30 × 52 = $7,800 a year.
Questions
Is this before or after taxes?
Before. Federal and state income tax, Social Security and Medicare come out of each paycheck, so take-home pay is lower. Hourra Pro estimates your take-home pay from the withholding you set.
How much is $25 an hour a year?
$52,000 at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, which is $4,333.33 a month or $2,000 every two weeks.
