Gross (pre-tax) figures. 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours/year is the standard full-time basis; set paid weeks to 50 if you take two weeks unpaid.
How Wage Conversion Works
The standard full-time year is 2,080 paid hours — 40 hours a week for 52 weeks. Multiplying an hourly rate by that figure gives the annual gross; dividing a salary by it gives the hourly equivalent, which is the honest way to compare a salaried offer against hourly work.
Formula
Annual salary = Hourly × Hours/week × Weeks/year Hourly rate = Salary ÷ (Hours/week × Weeks/year) Quick anchors (40 hr × 52 wk): $15/hr = $31,200 $30/hr = $62,400 $20/hr = $41,600 $40/hr = $83,200 $25/hr = $52,000 $50/hr = $104,000
Frequently Asked Questions
How much is $25 an hour per year?
$25/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000 gross per year, or about $4,333 a month. A handy shortcut: double the hourly rate and add three zeros ($25 → $50,000) gets within 4% for a standard full-time schedule.
Why do salary conversions use 2,080 hours?
It's the standard full-time year: 40 hours × 52 weeks. Real worked hours are usually lower after holidays and vacation, but since most salaried and hourly jobs pay for those weeks too, 2,080 remains the correct basis for paid compensation.
Does this account for overtime?
No — the conversion assumes straight-time pay. Hourly workers earn 1.5× for overtime hours in most US jobs, so an hourly worker regularly logging 45 hours can out-earn the converted salary figure meaningfully. Salaried-exempt employees typically get nothing extra for those hours.
Is the result before or after taxes?
Before — these are gross figures. Take-home pay after federal and state income tax, Social Security, and Medicare typically runs 70–80% of gross for middle incomes, so a $52,000 salary lands closer to $40,000–$42,000 in your bank account.
