Formulas

The math behind this calculator, written out so you can verify the result.

Hourly Rate

Hourly Rate = Annual Salary / (Hours per Week × Weeks per Year)

This divides your total annual earnings by the total number of hours worked in a year.

Example:

Input: Annual salary = $60,000, 40 hrs/week, 52 weeks

Calculation: 60,000 / (40 × 52) = 60,000 / 2,080

Result: ≈ $28.85/hr
