Salary & Wage Conversion FAQ
Common questions about annual salary conversion, standard work hours, and calculating your real hourly wage.
How do you convert an annual salary to an hourly wage?
To convert an annual salary to an unadjusted hourly wage, divide your total annual salary by the total number of working hours in a standard year (typically 2,080 hours for a full-time 40-hour workweek). For example, a $65,000 annual salary divided by 2,080 hours equals an unadjusted rate of $31.25 per hour.
How many working hours are in a typical US full-time work year?
A standard US full-time work year contains 2,080 working hours. This is calculated by multiplying 40 standard work hours per week by 52 weeks in a calendar year (40 × 52 = 2,080 hours). In a leap year or depending on calendar weekdays, standard working hours can occasionally vary between 2,080 and 2,088 hours.
What is the difference between unadjusted hourly rate and adjusted rate (accounting for paid time off / holidays)?
The unadjusted hourly rate is your baseline contractual wage divided by the full 2,080 annual hours. The adjusted real hourly rate factors in your paid time off (PTO) and company holidays. Because you receive your full annual salary while working fewer actual hours on the job, your real hourly earning power is higher. For instance, if you take 20 days (160 hours) of paid leave, you only work 1,920 hours, boosting your effective real rate from $31.25/hr to $33.85/hr.
