Turn an hourly wage into a yearly salary, or a salary into an hourly rate. Set your own hours and weeks.

## How to convert hourly pay to salary

Multiply your hourly rate by the hours you work in a week, then by the weeks you work in a year. At 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, that's 2,080 hours, so $20 an hour is $41,600 a year.

To turn a salary into an hourly rate, divide it by the hours you work in a year. $50,000 ÷ 2,080 = $24.04 an hour.

These are amounts before tax. If you take unpaid weeks off, lower the weeks per year so the yearly figure matches what you'll really earn.
