How to use this salary to hourly calculator

Salaried job posts quote a year. This salary to hourly calculator shows what that is per hour you actually work, including extra weekly hours and unpaid time off. The standard Salary Calculator page uses hours × weeks only, with no unpaid-week or holiday adjustment—use that for a simple 2,080-hour conversion.

Formula

Working hours = (52 − unpaid weeks) × hours/week − holiday hours. Effective hourly = salary ÷ working hours.

Worked example

$75,000 at 45 hours/week with 2 unpaid weeks → 50 × 45 = 2,250 hours → $33.33/hour, vs $36.06 on a naive 40×52 calendar.

Frequently asked questions

What is $75,000 an hour?

On 40 × 52 = 2,080 hours, about $36.06. If you work 45-hour weeks, the effective rate is lower.

Should I count PTO?

If PTO is paid, do not add unpaid weeks. Unpaid leave belongs in unpaid weeks or holiday hours.

Exempt overtime?
