How this calculator works
This calculator converts an annual salary figure into an equivalent hourly wage, which is useful for comparing salaried positions against hourly jobs or freelance rates.
The formula
Hourly Rate = Annual Salary / (Hours per Week × Weeks Worked per Year). Entering fewer weeks worked (to account for unpaid leave, for example) will raise the effective hourly rate for the time actually worked.
This calculator is for general personal-finance planning and does not account for taxes or benefits.
