How to convert salary to hourly
Divide your yearly salary by the number of hours you are paid for in a year. A full-time year is usually 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours. For example, $75,000 ÷ 2,080 = $36.06 an hour. To go the other way, multiply your hourly rate by 2,080.
Quick shortcut: halve your hourly rate and add “thousand.” $30 an hour is about $60,000 a year ($62,400 exactly).

Hourly with overtime vs salary
This is where I see candidates get surprised. An hourly, non-exempt job with steady overtime can pay much more than the base rate suggests. The table below adds 10 overtime hours a week at time and a half.
| Hourly rate | Yearly at 40 hrs/week | Yearly with 10 OT hrs/week |
|---|---|---|
| $18 | $37,440 | $51,480 |
| $20 | $41,600 | $57,200 |
| $22 | $45,760 | $62,920 |
| $25 | $52,000 | $71,500 |
| $28 | $58,240 | $80,080 |
| $30 | $62,400 | $85,800 |
| $35 | $72,800 | $100,100 |
| $40 | $83,200 | $114,400 |
| $45 | $93,600 | $128,700 |
| $50 | $104,000 | $143,000 |
So before you choose the “salaried” title because it sounds more senior, check whether the role is exempt and how many hours the team really works. My exempt vs non-exempt guide and the overtime calculator help you run the real numbers.
What changes your real hourly rate
- Unpaid time off. If you take two unpaid weeks, use 50 paid weeks in the calculator.
- Longer weeks on salary. An exempt job at $80,000 with 50-hour weeks works out to about $30.77 an hour, not $38.46.
- Bonuses and allowances. Sign-on bonuses, relocation and per diem are separate from your rate. Ask how each one is paid before you compare offers.
