Salary and hourly rate, converted both ways
Your hours, not a fixed 2,080.
Enter an annual salary to get the hourly rate, or an hourly rate to get the salary. You set the weekly hours, the working days and the weeks of paid leave, and the result comes out per hour, per day, per week, per month and per year. Because paid leave changes the answer, the derived figure is shown twice: once across all 52 paid weeks, once across the weeks you actually work.

Every figure is gross. Tax and deductions are not applied, and they depend on where you are.
How it works
Pick a direction, describe the working year, read both figures.
Pick the direction
Salary to hourly, or hourly to salary. The rest of the form stays the same, so you can switch and compare.
Describe the working year
Hours a week, working days a week, and how many weeks a year you are off. Forty hours over five days is the starting value, not a rule.
Read both figures
The result panel uses all 52 paid weeks. The panel below repeats the derived figure across the weeks you actually work, so the cost of paid leave is visible instead of buried.
Why this one
Three things a fixed 2,080-hour year gets wrong.
Paid leave is an input, not an assumption
Most converters divide the salary by 2,080 and stop there. That number counts paid leave and public holidays as hours worked. Here you enter the weeks off and see exactly what moves.
Both directions on one page
Salary to hourly and hourly to salary are the same arithmetic read backwards. Switching direction keeps every other input in place.
Five figures, not one
Per hour, per day, per week, per month and per year at once. A rate quoted by the hour and a budget written by the month are the same number in different clothes.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?
Divide the annual salary by the hours you are paid for in a year. At 40 hours a week across 52 weeks that is 2,080 hours, so a salary of $60,000 works out at $28.85 an hour. Change the weekly hours and the divisor changes with them.
How do I convert an hourly rate to a salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by the hours you work in a week, then by the number of weeks you are paid for. $30 an hour at 40 hours a week across 52 weeks is $62,400 a year.
Is a work year really 2,080 hours?
2,080 is 40 hours times 52 weeks, and it assumes you are at work every single week. Paid leave and public holidays come out of that, so the hours actually worked are lower. The exact figure depends on your contract and your country.
Does paid time off change my hourly rate?
It changes the effective rate, not the salary. A salary of $60,000 with two weeks of paid leave is spread over 2,000 worked hours instead of 2,080, which is $30.00 an hour rather than $28.85. If you are paid by the hour and the leave is unpaid, the yearly total drops instead.
Are the results gross or net pay?
Gross. Tax, social contributions and other deductions are not applied, because they depend on where you are, what you earn and your personal situation. Take-home pay is lower than the figures shown here.

A rate is only as good as the hours behind it
Until someone records the hours, an hourly figure is an estimate. Worktivity captures start, end and break automatically while people work, then turns them into timesheets and project cost reports you can bill from.
