Hourly to Salary Calculator
Job offers, pay rises and side work are often quoted by the hour, but rent, bills and budgets are planned by the month and the year. This free hourly to salary calculator bridges that gap. Enter your hourly wage, the hours you work each week and the weeks you work each year, and it instantly converts your pay into annual, monthly, weekly and daily figures. It also handles overtime: enter your overtime hours and your overtime multiplier, usually 1.5 for time-and-a-half, and the calculator adds your overtime earnings to your regular pay so you can see your true total. That matters, because for many workers overtime is a large share of annual income. The results are gross pay, before tax and other deductions, which is the figure employers quote and the figure you need when comparing job offers. Whether you are asking yourself whether $25 an hour is how much a year, negotiating a raise, or checking whether a new job really pays more than your current one, this calculator gives you the answer in seconds. All calculations run in your browser, and nothing you enter is sent anywhere.

How to Use This Calculator
- Enter your hourly wage. Use your current rate, or the rate from a job offer you are comparing. If you earn different rates for different shifts, start with your most common rate.
- Enter your regular hours per week and weeks per year. A standard full-time schedule is 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. If you take two weeks of unpaid holiday, enter 50 weeks instead, and your annual salary will drop accordingly.
- Add overtime if you regularly work it. Enter your average overtime hours per week and your overtime multiplier. Time-and-a-half is 1.5; some employers pay double time, which is 2. Leave overtime at zero if you never work extra hours.
- Click Calculate and compare the figures. Use the annual figure for job comparisons, the monthly figure for budgeting, and the daily figure for freelance or day-rate work. Remember the results are gross pay, before tax.
Worked Example
Take the classic question: $25 an hour is how much a year? At $25 an hour working 40 hours a week, you earn $1,000 a week. Multiply that by 52 weeks and you get $52,000 a year. Divide by 12 months and you get $4,333.33 a month, and divide the weekly figure by 5 working days and you get $200 a day for an 8-hour day. Now add overtime. Suppose you also work 5 overtime hours every week at time-and-a-half. Your overtime rate is $25 times 1.5, which is $37.50 an hour. Five overtime hours a week earns $187.50 a week, or $9,750 over 52 weeks. Your total annual pay would then be $52,000 plus $9,750, which is $61,750, or about $5,145.83 a month. That is why overtime matters so much when comparing jobs: two roles with the same hourly rate can pay very different annual salaries once overtime is included.
Frequently Asked Questions
$25 an hour is how much a year?
$25 an hour is $52,000 a year if you work 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. That works out to $4,333.33 a month, $1,000 a week and $200 a day for an 8-hour day. If you take unpaid time off, work fewer weeks, or earn overtime, your actual annual pay will be different.
How do I convert my hourly wage to a monthly salary?
Multiply your hourly wage by the hours you work each week, then multiply by 52 weeks and divide by 12 months. For example, $25 an hour times 40 hours a week is $1,000 a week, times 52 weeks is $52,000 a year, divided by 12 months is $4,333.33 a month. This calculator does the same maths instantly, including any overtime you enter.
How is overtime pay calculated?
Overtime is usually paid at time-and-a-half, which means 1.5 times your normal hourly wage. At $25 an hour, the overtime rate is $37.50 an hour. Five overtime hours a week for 52 weeks would add $9,750 a year. This calculator lets you set your own overtime multiplier if your employer pays double time or another rate.
Is this salary before or after tax?
The figures on this page are gross pay, before income tax, Social Security, Medicare and any other deductions. Your take-home pay will be lower. The exact amount depends on your federal and state tax brackets, your filing status and your deductions, so use a separate take-home pay calculator if you need an after-tax figure.
How many hours a week is full time?
Full time is usually 40 hours a week in the United States, although some employers define it as 35 or 32 hours. Under federal law, non-exempt workers must be paid overtime for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. If your schedule is different, enter your actual hours per week above and the calculator will adjust your salary to match.
