Hourly to Salary Calculator
Enter the hourly rate and the real schedule. The calculator gives the annual figure, the monthly and biweekly reality, and the 2080-rule hourly equivalent that salaried offers actually quote.
The 2080 rule - 40 hours times 52 weeks - is the bridge between hourly and salaried worlds, but the honest comparison needs your real numbers: hours you actually work, and weeks you are actually paid for. Unpaid time off is where hourly offers quietly lose.
How to use
- Hourly rate first, then true weekly hours - overtime included if it is regular.
- Paid weeks: 52 only if PTO and holidays are actually paid.
- Compare the 2080 figure against any salaried offer - that is the apples-to-apples line. All three update live.
Frequently asked questions
How much is 22 dollars an hour a year?
At 40 hours and 52 paid weeks, about 45,760 dollars a year, roughly 3,813 a month or 1,760 per biweekly check. Cut the paid weeks to 50 and the annual drops by about 1,760 - unpaid time off is the whole difference. The calculator uses your real schedule.
What is the 2080 rule?
40 hours times 52 weeks equals 2,080 hours a year - the standard salaried baseline. Dividing any salary by 2,080 gives its true hourly rate, which is how to compare a salaried offer against hourly pay. This page runs the reverse too, so both directions land on the same number.
Does overtime count in hourly-to-salary math?
It should: regular overtime at time-and-a-half can add thousands a year that a flat 2080 figure hides. Enter your average real hours including the OT, and the annual number shows what the job actually pays rather than the brochure version.
Why does a salaried job sometimes pay less per hour?
Salaried pay buys predictability and usually paid time off; hourly pay buys premium rates on extra hours but usually zeroes out when you do not work. Two unpaid weeks at 22 dollars an hour costs about 1,760 - often the entire gap the salary seemed to be missing. Run both through the calculator before deciding.
