How is the hourly rate calculated?

Hourly rate = Annual salary ÷ (Hours per week × Weeks per year). For a standard full-time employee (40 hrs × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours), a $52,000 salary equals exactly $25.00/hr.

Should I use 52 weeks or fewer?

Use 52 if your annual salary already accounts for paid vacation (most salaried roles). Use fewer weeks only if you take unpaid time off — for example, a teacher on a 10-month contract might use 43 weeks.

How is the monthly rate calculated?

Monthly rate = Annual salary ÷ 12. This is the simplest division and does not depend on your hours or weeks settings.

How is the daily rate calculated?

Daily rate = Annual salary ÷ (Weeks per year × Days per week). Days per week is derived from your hours per week ÷ 8 (a standard workday). You can also read it as Hourly rate × Hours per day.

Does this account for taxes?

No — all figures shown are gross (pre-tax). Use a net pay calculator to estimate take-home pay after deductions.
