Frequently asked questions
How much do I make per hour if I know my salary?
Switch the dropdown to "Annual salary" (or whichever period you know) and enter that figure — the calculator works out your hourly rate automatically from your hours per week.
How do I calculate my daily wage from my hourly rate?
Enter your hourly rate and your typical hours per day (via hours per week and working days per week), and the daily figure is calculated automatically alongside weekly, monthly, and annual pay. For a dedicated day-rate view, try the Daily Pay Calculator.
Is this the same as an hourly calculator or wage calculator?
Yes — "hourly pay calculator," "hourly calculator," and "wage calculator" all describe the same kind of tool: converting a pay rate into other pay periods. This one handles hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, and annual conversions in both directions.
Is this how much I'm actually getting paid, after tax?
No — all figures shown are gross pay, before taxes and deductions. Your actual take-home pay will be lower depending on your tax situation and any other deductions.
What if my hours vary week to week?
Use your typical or average hours per week for the most realistic estimate. If your schedule varies a lot, try recalculating with your lowest and highest typical week to see the range.
How much do I make a day at $15 an hour?
At $15/hour and an 8-hour day, that's $120/day, $600/week (40 hrs), and about $31,200/year. See the chart above for other rates.
How much is $20 an hour per month?
At $20/hour and 40 hours/week, that works out to about $3,467/month ($20 × 40 × 52 weeks ÷ 12 months), before taxes.
Is $18 an hour a good wage?
At 40 hours/week, $18/hour comes to about $37,440/year before tax — whether that's “good” depends heavily on your cost of living, location, and household size. Use the calculator to compare it against your own budget.
Can I see how much I've earned today, live, right now?
Yes — the Real-Time Earnings Calculator takes your hourly wage and start time and shows a running total that updates every second, rather than a fixed daily figure.
How is overtime pay calculated?
Multiply your overtime hours by your hourly rate and by the overtime multiplier, then add your regular pay. At $20 an hour and 1.5× overtime, 45 hours is 40 × $20 + 5 × $30 = $950.00. Your overtime rules depend on where you work and your contract.
How much is $20 an hour per year if I am paid for 50 weeks?
$40,000 a year at 40 hours a week, compared with $41,600 for 52 paid weeks. Divide by 12 for the monthly average: $3,333.33.
How do I turn an annual salary into an hourly rate?
Divide the salary by 52 weeks and by your weekly hours. At 40 hours a week that is 2,080 hours a year, so $62,400 a year is $30.00 an hour.
About this tool
This hourly pay calculator converts your hourly rate — or any other pay figure — into daily, weekly, monthly, and annual earnings. All figures are gross (pre-tax) and assume a consistent schedule with no unpaid time off.
Overtime changes the picture
The calculator converts a flat hourly rate. If you are paid a higher rate for overtime, work out the weekly total first. In the United States many hourly employees are paid 1.5 times their rate for hours over 40 in a week, though rules vary by country, state and job type.
| Hours worked | Regular hours | Overtime hours | Gross weekly pay |
|---|---|---|---|
| 36 | 36 | 0 | $720.00 |
| 40 | 40 | 0 | $800.00 |
| 45 | 40 | 5 | $950.00 |
| 50 | 40 | 10 | $1,100.00 |
| 55 | 40 | 15 | $1,250.00 |
At 45 hours the pay is $950.00: 40 hours at $20 plus 5 hours at $30. Divide by 45 to find the average rate of $21.11 an hour.
How many weeks you are paid matters
The annual figure assumes 52 paid weeks. If you are not paid for holidays or leave, the real number is lower:
| Weeks paid per year | Annual pay | Monthly average |
|---|---|---|
| 52 | $41,600 | $3,466.67 |
| 50 | $40,000 | $3,333.33 |
| 48 | $38,400 | $3,200.00 |
| 46 | $36,800 | $3,066.67 |
Unpaid time off can cut an hourly worker's yearly income by thousands of dollars. Change the weeks assumption in your own planning to match your contract.
Part-time and full-time pay
| Hours per week | Weekly | Monthly | Annual |
|---|---|---|---|
| 15 | $300 | $1,300.00 | $15,600 |
| 20 | $400 | $1,733.33 | $20,800 |
| 25 | $500 | $2,166.67 | $26,000 |
| 30 | $600 | $2,600.00 | $31,200 |
| 35 | $700 | $3,033.33 | $36,400 |
| 40 | $800 | $3,466.67 | $41,600 |
Use the hours-per-week field in the calculator to see your own figures. Part-time work often has different benefits from full-time work, so compare the total package and not only the rate.
Your real hourly rate
Your stated rate may be higher than what you effectively earn per hour spent on work. If you earn $20 an hour for 40 hours and also spend 5 hours a week commuting unpaid, you earn $800 for 45 hours of your time, which is $17.78 an hour. Add unpaid breaks, work clothing and travel costs and the number falls further. It is a useful figure when comparing a closer job with a higher-paying one.
Comparing an hourly job with a salaried one
- Convert both to the same basis. Divide the salary by 2,080 (40 × 52) to get an hourly figure, or use the salary calculator.
- Count paid leave and holidays. A salaried role usually pays for them, while an hourly role may not.
- Compare benefits. Health cover, pension contributions and bonuses add value that the pay rate does not show.
- Check the hours. A salaried role may involve more than 40 hours without extra pay, which lowers the effective hourly rate.
All figures are before tax. See the take-home pay calculator for an estimate of what you keep.
