How to Convert Hourly to Salary
Converting an hourly wage to an annual salary is straightforward math. The standard calculation assumes a full-time schedule of 40 hours per week, working 52 weeks a year.
The 2,080 Rule
40 hours/week × 52 weeks/year = 2,080 working hours per year.
To find your annual salary, simply multiply your hourly rate by 2,080. Example: $25/hr × 2,080 = $52,000/year.
Accounting for Unpaid Time Off
If you are an hourly worker who does not receive paid vacation or sick time, the 2,080 rule will overestimate your income. If you plan to take two weeks of unpaid vacation, you should calculate based on 50 weeks (2,000 hours).
