How it’s calculated
Annual salary = hourly rate × hours per week × paid weeks per year. At 40 hours and 52 weeks that is 2,080 hours, so $25 an hour = $52,000 a year.
Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × paid weeks per year). Monthly pay is annual ÷ 12; biweekly is weekly × 2 (26 paychecks); semi-monthly is annual ÷ 24.
Worked example with your numbers
- Hours paid per year: 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours.
- Hourly rate: $52,000.00 ÷ 2,080 hours = $25.00 an hour (25.0000 before rounding).
- Weekly: $52,000.00 ÷ 52 weeks = $1,000.00. Monthly: $52,000.00 ÷ 12 = $4,333.33.
All figures are gross pay before taxes, benefits and other deductions.

Frequently asked questions
How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?
Divide the annual salary by the hours you are paid for in a year. For a standard 40-hour week and 52 weeks that is 2,080 hours: $60,000 ÷ 2,080 = $28.85 an hour.
What is $50,000 a year hourly?
About $24.04 an hour at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks (2,080 hours).
Why does working more hours lower my hourly rate?
A salary stays the same no matter how many hours you work, so the same pay spread over more hours means less per hour. At 50 hours a week, $60,000 a year is $23.08 an hour instead of $28.85.
Do salaried employees get overtime?
Salaried employees who are exempt under the FLSA do not. Salaried non-exempt employees do — see the overtime for salaried employees calculator.
