The 2,080-hour rule

A full-time year is 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours. Multiply your hourly rate by 2,080 for a yearly salary, or divide a salary by 2,080 for the hourly equivalent. A faster mental shortcut: double the hourly rate and add “000” — $30 an hour ≈ $60,000 a year.

When the simple formula is wrong

  • Unpaid time off. Contractors and gig workers aren't paid for holidays. Two unpaid weeks cut a $30/hour income from $62,400 to $60,000.
  • Overtime. Hours over 40 a week (and over 8 a day in California) pay 1.5×. Use the paycheck calculator in hourly mode to include overtime.
  • Salaried hours creep. A $75,000 salary is $36 an hour at 40 hours a week but only $28.85 at 50.

Gross vs. take-home

Every number in the table above is before tax unless marked. Taxes typically take 15–30% of an hourly worker's pay once federal tax, Social Security, Medicare and state tax are withheld — toggle Net in the converter to see your state.

Frequently asked questions

How do I convert an hourly wage to a yearly salary?+

Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work per week, then by the weeks you're paid per year. Full-time is 40 × 52 = 2,080 hours, so $25 an hour is $52,000 a year. Quick rule of thumb: double the hourly rate and add three zeros.

How much is $20 an hour a year?+

$20 an hour at 40 hours a week is $41,600 a year, $3,467 a month and $1,600 every two weeks before tax. A single filer in California keeps about $34,353 a year after taxes.

How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?+

Divide the annual salary by 2,080 (40 hours × 52 weeks). A $60,000 salary works out to about $28.85 an hour. If you regularly work 45 or 50 hours, divide by those hours × 52 to see your real hourly rate.

Should I count vacation weeks?+

If your vacation is paid, keep 52 weeks — you're paid for them. If you're a contractor or take unpaid time off, lower the paid weeks (for example 50) to see your true annual income.

Is $25 an hour good money?+

$25 an hour is $52,000 a year full-time. After federal tax, FICA and California tax a single filer keeps about $42,009 — around $3,501 a month.
