Hourly to Salary Calculator

At 40 regular hours, $22/hour is $45,760 a year. Add a steady 5 hours of weekly overtime at time-and-a-half and it becomes $54,340 - the overtime alone contributes $8,580. Regular overtime changes the answer far more than small raises do, which is why this calculator treats it as a first-class input rather than a footnote.

Multiply your rate by weekly hours, then by weeks worked: rate x 40 x 52 for a standard year, which is the familiar "hourly x 2,080" shortcut. Overtime hours multiply by your rate times 1.5 first. The math is simple; what people miss is unpaid time off - every unpaid week deletes a full week of pay from the annual figure.

Federal law (FLSA) requires at least 1.5x your regular rate past 40 hours a week for non-exempt workers. Some states go further - California adds daily overtime past 8 hours and double time past 12. Employers can also pay more by policy. The multiplier field defaults to 1.5x but accepts 2x for double-time-heavy schedules.

Yes - salaried does not automatically mean exempt. Exemption depends on duties AND a salary threshold set by the Department of Labor; salaried workers under the threshold, or whose duties do not qualify as executive/administrative/professional, are owed time-and-a-half like anyone else. Misclassification is one of the most common wage violations.

2,080 is the standard: 40 hours x 52 weeks. Subtract typical US paid time off (10 holidays + 15 vacation days = 200 hours) and most full-timers actually work about 1,880. The 2,080 convention persists because salaried pay covers the PTO - which is exactly why unpaid time off hits hourly workers harder than an equivalent salary suggests.

No - this page computes gross pay, before federal and state taxes, Social Security, Medicare, and any benefits deductions. Take-home is typically 70-80% of gross depending on your state and withholdings. Gross is the number for comparing job offers; pair it with a paycheck calculator when you need the deposit-in-bank figure.

Directly and linearly: two unpaid weeks at $1,045 a week is $2,090 gone, and your "real" hourly rate - annual pay spread over the full year’s schedule - drops with it. This is the hidden pay cut in many hourly jobs versus salaried ones with PTO, and the calculator surfaces it as its own line so offers compare honestly.

About $28.85 at 40 hours a week ($60,000 / 2,080). A quick mental shortcut: halve the thousands - $60k is roughly $30/hour, $80k roughly $40. The shortcut overstates slightly, but it is accurate enough to sanity-check a recruiter’s pitch in real time.

Biweekly means 26 paychecks (every two weeks); semimonthly means 24 (twice a month). Same annual pay, different slice sizes: a $54,340 year is $2,090 biweekly but $2,264 semimonthly. Biweekly schedules also produce two months a year with three paychecks - a budgeting quirk worth knowing about your own payroll.

Yes. Under the FLSA, shift differentials (extra pay for nights or weekends) fold into your "regular rate" before the 1.5x overtime multiplier is applied - overtime on a $22 base with a $2 differential is calculated on $24. Employers who compute overtime on base pay alone are underpaying, and it is worth checking a stub.
