Hourly to Annual Salary: convert wage to yearly pay
Hourly wage and annual salary are two sides of the same coin. This converter translates between them, handling full-time 2080 hours, part-time, overtime at 1.5×, and tax brackets. This calculator is designed for quick, private, offline use in your browser. All formulas run locally and are verified against official sources. You enter the core numbers, see the result instantly, and can check the steps, so you avoid the common mistake of applying a percentage to the wrong base or mixing units. Keep the inputs in the same unit system, verify the rate or factor for your country, and compare the result with a second example to catch typos before you save or file.
TL;DR
- Annual = hourly × hours/week × 52.
- Formulas: Annual = Hourly × Hours × 52 | Hourly = Annual ÷ (Hours × 52)
- $20/h full-time — $20 × 40 × 52 = $41,600
How it works
Annual = hourly × hours/week × 52. For overtime, hours beyond 40 are multiplied by 1.5. Net subtracts tax. The reverse divides annual by total hours. Start with clean inputs, keep the same units, and follow the order the formula shows. The tool does the arithmetic, but you decide the rate, period, or factor. A second example with different numbers shows how the result scales, which is the fastest way to spot a misplaced decimal or a monthly versus annual confusion before you act on the number. Annual = hourly × hours/week × 52. Add overtime at 1.5× for >40h. Net subtracts tax bracket.
The math
52 weeks per year is the standard. Full-time 40h × 52 = 2080h. Part-time uses actual hours. Overtime premium is 0.5× extra.
Simple multiplication/division. No compounding.
Examples
$20/h full-time
- $20 × 40 × 52 = $41,600
$50k annual
- $50,000 ÷ 2080 = $24.04/h

FAQ (6)
How much is $20 an hour annually?
$20 × 40 × 52 = $41,600 gross.
How to verify the result?
Recalculate with different numbers, use the 10% shortcut, and compare with the official table or a second example.
If I type my salary or prices here, do you store them?
No — and that's deliberate. Everything runs locally in your browser, nothing leaves your device. We don't see your net salary, your margins, or the VAT numbers you test. For a finance tool that matters: you can run a quick check on a payslip or an invoice while on public Wi-Fi and close the tab knowing no trace is kept server-side.
Can I use it on the train without signal to check an invoice?
Yes. Load the page once, then it works offline. VAT, discount and mortgage math are all pure JavaScript — no API call. I often test it in airplane mode: open the mortgage page, type 250,000 at 4.5% for 25 years, you get the schedule instantly, even in a tunnel.
Can I file taxes with these results?
Use it as a fast sanity check, not as the final filing. Formulas are standard (e.g. Net = Gross / 1+VAT) and verified against official sources listed at the bottom, but rates and thresholds change — Italy's 22% vs Germany's 19%, or IRPEF brackets. For the actual declaration, double-check with your accountant or Agenzia delle Entrate / HMRC / IRS.
How do I send a calculation to my accountant?
Hit 'Share Link' under the results. It encodes the inputs in the URL — e.g. ?price=1200&vat=22 — so your accountant opens the exact same view, no screenshot needed. You can also copy the result with one tap and paste it into an email.
