Salary to hourly
at 40 hours
For a standard 40-hour week and 52 weeks, a year is 2,080 hours. Divide annual salary by 2,080 to get the hourly rate.
Quick examples
- $40,000 → $19.23/hour (40,000 ÷ 2,080)
- $60,000 → $28.85/hour
- $80,000 → $38.46/hour
- $100,000 → $48.08/hour
- $120,000 → $57.69/hour
If you take unpaid leave
The 2,080-hour formula assumes 52 paid weeks. If you take four unpaid weeks, use 48 weeks × 40 = 1,920 hours; the same $80,000 is then $41.67/hour. Paid vacation does not change the calculation.
What is not included
This is gross pay. Taxes, health insurance, retirement contributions, bonuses and equity are separate. A $80,000 salary with a 10% bonus is really $88,000 before tax.
