How the conversion works
Everything starts from the hours you are paid for in a year: hours per week × paid weeks. Full time is 40 × 52 = 2,080 hours.
- Annual = hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks
- Monthly = annual ÷ 12
- Semimonthly = annual ÷ 24 · Biweekly = annual ÷ 26
- Weekly = annual ÷ paid weeks · Daily = weekly ÷ 5
- Hourly from a salary = annual ÷ (hours per week × paid weeks)
Unpaid weeks and part time change the result: $25 an hour over 50 paid weeks is $50,000.00 instead of $52,000.00, and at 32 hours a week it is $41,600.00. Results are rounded to the cent only for display.
Worked examples
- $25 an hour, 40 hours, 52 weeks: $52,000.00 a year, $4,333.33 a month, $2,000.00 biweekly, $2,166.67 semimonthly, $1,000.00 a week and $200.00 a day.
- Salary offers to hourly: $60,000 a year is $28.85 an hour; $50,000 a year is $24.04 an hour (both at 2,080 hours).
- $30 an hour plus 5 overtime hours a week at 1.5×: $62,400.00 regular pay + $11,700.00 overtime = $74,100.00 a year.

Overtime: time and a half over 40 hours
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), covered non-exempt employees must be paid at least 1.5 times their regular rate for every hour over 40 in a workweek (29 CFR §§ 778.101 and 778.107, checked 29 Oct 2026). That is why the calculator defaults to a 1.5 multiplier. Some contracts pay more, for example double time.
Some states add their own rules. California, for example, also requires overtime after 8 hours in a workday, not only after 40 in a week. Salaried employees who are exempt from the FLSA are not owed overtime at all. The calculator applies your multiplier to the hours you enter and does not check which rules apply to your job.
Example: at $30 an hour, 5 overtime hours every week for 52 weeks pay $30 × 1.5 × 5 × 52 = $11,700.00 on top of $62,400.00, for $74,100.00 a year.
Values we use and where they come from
| Value | Default | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Hours per week | 40 (you can change it) | Full-time convention; also the FLSA overtime threshold (29 CFR § 778.101) |
| Paid weeks per year | 52 (you can change it) | Calendar weeks; lower it for unpaid time off or seasonal work |
| Workdays per week | 5 | Used only for the per-day figure |
| Paychecks per year | Biweekly 26 · semimonthly 24 · monthly 12 | Pay-calendar convention (a biweekly year occasionally has 27 paydays) |
| Overtime multiplier | 1.5 (you can change it) | FLSA minimum for covered non-exempt employees (29 CFR § 778.107) |
- eCFR, 29 CFR § 778.101 — Maximum nonovertime hours — Under the FLSA, 40 hours is the most a covered employee can work in a workweek without overtime pay. Checked 29 Oct 2026.
- eCFR, 29 CFR § 778.107 — General standard for overtime pay — Overtime must be paid at not less than one and one-half times the regular rate (the 1.5 default). Checked 29 Oct 2026.
- California Department of Industrial Relations — Overtime FAQ — Example of a state rule beyond federal law: overtime after 8 hours in a workday. Checked 29 Oct 2026.
What this calculator does not include
- Taxes and deductions: the gross results subtract nothing. The net-per-hour line subtracts 2026 federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare and state income tax where we calculate it, but not 401(k), HSA, health premiums, credits or local taxes; the paycheck calculator covers those.
- State overtime rules: daily overtime, double time and other state rules are not applied automatically.
- Variable pay: tips, commissions, bonuses, shift differentials and paid time off rules are not modelled.
- Pay calendars: a biweekly year sometimes has 27 paydays; we always divide by 26.

Hourly and salary questions
How much is $25 an hour a year?
At 40 hours a week and 52 paid weeks, $25 an hour is $52,000.00 a year before taxes. That is $4,333.33 a month, $2,000.00 every two weeks, $2,166.67 twice a month and $200.00 a day.
How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?
Divide the annual salary by the hours you are paid for in a year. Full time is 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours, so $60,000 a year is about $28.85 an hour and $50,000 is about $24.04 an hour.
What is the difference between biweekly and semimonthly pay?
Biweekly means every two weeks, 26 paychecks a year. Semimonthly means twice a month, usually on fixed dates, 24 paychecks a year. On a $52,000 salary that is $2,000.00 biweekly versus $2,166.67 semimonthly — the same annual pay split differently.
How is overtime pay calculated?
Under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act, covered non-exempt employees must get at least 1.5 times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek. At $30 an hour, 5 overtime hours a week for 52 weeks add $11,700.00, for $74,100.00 a year. Some states have extra rules, such as daily overtime in California, and exempt salaried employees are not owed overtime.
Does this calculator include taxes?
The main results are gross pay. Below them, a net-per-hour line subtracts 2026 federal income tax, Social Security and Medicare, plus state income tax where we calculate it: $25 an hour full time is about $21.14 an hour after tax for a single filer in Texas ($43,962.00 a year). 401(k), health insurance and other deductions are not included; the paycheck calculator handles those.
What if I have unpaid time off or work part time?
Lower the paid weeks or the hours per week. $25 an hour over 50 paid weeks is $50,000.00 instead of $52,000.00; at 32 hours a week it is $41,600.00.
