How to convert hourly pay to a salary
Multiply your hourly wage by your hours a week, then by the weeks you are paid in a year. A full-time year is 40 hours × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours, so $22 an hour is $45,760 a year, $3,813.33 a month and $1,760 every two weeks.
Part-time and longer weeks change the answer more than people expect. At 30 hours a week the same $22 is $34,320 a year; at 45 hours with the 5 extra hours paid at time and a half, it is $45,760 plus $8,580 of overtime, or $54,340.
How to convert a salary to an hourly rate
Divide the yearly salary by the hours you work in a year. $50,000 ÷ 2,080 = $24.04 an hour; $75,000 ÷ 2,080 = $36.06. If you know your pay per paycheck, turn it into a year first: every two weeks × 26, twice a month × 24, monthly × 12.
Use the hours you will really work, not the 40 on the offer letter. A salaried role that takes 50 hours a week pays $50,000 ÷ 2,600 = $19.23 for each hour you put in, which can be less than an hourly job that pays overtime.
Weeks a year, time off and overtime
Weeks paid a year is 52 when your holidays and vacation are paid. If you are paid only for the hours you work, take your unpaid weeks off: two weeks unpaid makes it 50, and $25 an hour becomes $50,000 a year instead of $52,000.
Overtime is the hours over your regular week. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees get at least one and a half times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek; some states and contracts go further. Salaried employees who are exempt get no overtime, which is why an hourly rate with overtime can beat a higher-looking salary.
Comparing a salaried offer with an hourly one
Sales reps often weigh a base salary plus commission against an hourly role with overtime, and nurses compare per-hour offers across staff, agency and per-diem shifts. Put both on the same footing: turn each into a yearly figure at the hours you expect to work, then add the commission, bonus or shift differential you can count on.
Then compare what the numbers leave out: paid time off, health insurance, retirement match, mileage or a car allowance, and how many of the hours are predictable. Two offers that both come to $60,000 can be very different years.
Gross pay, before taxes and deductions: take-home pay depends on your withholding, benefits and state. This is a calculator, not tax or financial advice.
Weighing a new role: inside sales vs outside sales, what an outside sales rep does, time management for nurses.
Get the offer in writing, in your own notes
An offer is more than the rate: hours, overtime, paid time off and commission all change the yearly number. ParrotNotes records the meeting where the offer is discussed (with permission) and writes the summary, so what you were promised is in writing.
