How to Convert Hourly Rate to Annual Salary
The standard formula assumes 40 hours/week × 52 weeks = 2,080 work hours per year. Multiply your hourly rate by 2,080 to get gross annual salary. For part-time, use your actual weekly hours. Note that salaried employees often work unpaid overtime, making the "effective hourly rate" lower than it appears — factor this into comparisons.
The Formula
Hourly × 2,080 = annual salary. $25/hr = $52,000/yr. $50/hr = $104,000/yr. Quick estimate: hourly × 2,000.
Benefits Gap
Salaried roles often include health insurance, 401(k) match, and PTO worth $10K–$20K/year. Factor these into hourly comparisons.
Overtime Consideration
Hourly workers earn 1.5× for overtime. Salaried exempt workers don't. If you regularly work 45+ hrs, hourly can earn more total.
