Breakdown
How it works
Annual pay = hourly × hours per week × weeks worked. Use 52 weeks for a salaried equivalent with paid holiday, or 48–50 if unpaid time off applies. The rough US shortcut: hourly × 2,000 ≈ annual.
Formula
Annual = hourly × hours × weeks
Monthly = annual ÷ 12
Hourly = annual ÷ (hours × weeks)
Worked example
25 an hour × 40 × 52 = 52,000 a year, 4,333 a month, 1,000 a week.
Frequently asked questions
What is 20 an hour annually?
41,600 at 40 hours × 52 weeks; 39,000 at 37.5 hours.
How do I account for unpaid holidays?
Reduce the weeks. 4 weeks unpaid → 48 weeks: 25 × 40 × 48 = 48,000.
Does overtime change this?
Add overtime hours at the premium rate separately — e.g. 5 hours a week at 1.5× = 7.5 regular-hour equivalents.
