Frequently asked questions
Why the "weeks worked per year" assumption matters
Most online hourly-to-salary conversions default to 52 weeks per year, but that assumes you work every single week with no unpaid time off. If you take 2 unpaid weeks of vacation, your real annual earnings are closer to a 50-week calculation — a meaningful difference at higher hourly rates. This is especially relevant for part-time, seasonal, or contract workers who don't work a full continuous year. Adjusting the "weeks worked" field in this calculator gives you a more realistic annual figure than the standard 52-week assumption many quick online conversions use.
Hourly to salary: what employers actually mean
When a job posting says "$25/hour, full-time," it almost always implies a 40-hour week and a 52-week year for the purposes of calculating benefits eligibility, PTO accrual, and advertised "equivalent salary" — even though your actual take-home will vary with overtime, unpaid leave, or holidays. If you're comparing an hourly offer to a salaried offer, converting both to the same annual basis (using this calculator) is the only fair way to compare total compensation, since salaried positions are typically quoted as a fixed annual number regardless of hours worked in a given week.

Part-time hourly-to-annual conversions
If you work part-time, the standard 40-hour assumption obviously won't reflect your real annual earnings. A part-time worker at $20/hour working 25 hours/week earns about $26,000/year (not the $41,600 a full-time 40-hour calculation would suggest) — always adjust the "hours per week" field to match your actual schedule rather than relying on the full-time default, especially when using this figure for budgeting or loan applications that ask for annual income.
Multiple jobs and combined hourly income
If you work more than one part-time or hourly job, calculate each one separately through this tool and add the annual totals together, rather than trying to average your hourly rates across both — since the hours and rates likely differ between jobs, an average rate applied to combined hours can produce a misleading annual figure.
