Salary ↔ Hourly Converter (2026)

Direct answer: Salary → Hourly = annual salary ÷ (hours/week × weeks/year); the standard full-time shortcut is salary ÷ 2,080. Hourly → Salary = rate × hours × weeks. The tool also shows an estimated 2026 take-home using real federal, FICA, and state tax schedules. Sources: IRS Rev. Proc. 2025-32; SSA 2026 wage base; Tax Foundation state rates.

Formulas

Salary → Hourly: divide annual salary by total worked hours (hours/week × weeks/year). The common full-time shortcut uses 2,080 hours (40 × 52). Hourly → Salary: rate × hours/week × weeks/year. Hours worked above 40/week may qualify for FLSA overtime (1.5×), which is not included here.

TipFig provides illustrative planning estimates only — not tax or withholding advice. The take-home note applies the 2026 federal rate schedule (estimate), FICA, and state schedule to the converted annual amount; real withholding follows IRS Pub. 15-T and your W-4. Confirm with a CPA or the IRS.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?

Divide the annual salary by total worked hours. Using a standard 40-hour week over 52 weeks, that's salary ÷ 2,080. If your schedule differs, divide by hours/week × weeks/year for an accurate figure.

How do I convert an hourly rate to a salary?

Multiply the hourly rate by hours per week and by weeks per year (rate × hours × weeks). For a standard full-time schedule that's rate × 2,080.

Does this include overtime?

No. This is a straight-time conversion. Hours over 40/week typically earn FLSA overtime at 1.5×, which would raise actual earnings above the converted salary — see our Overtime Calculator.
