How do I convert an hourly wage to an annual salary?

Multiply your hourly rate by hours worked per week, then by weeks worked per year. For a standard full-time schedule (40 hrs/week, 52 weeks/year), that's hourly rate times 2,080 hours.

Where does the 2,080-hour figure come from?

It's 40 hours per week times 52 weeks per year. This standard is referenced in federal pay administration guidance from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and is the most common baseline for hourly-to-salary conversions.

Is there a different divisor for federal employees?

Yes, but it's narrow in scope. OPM uses a 2,087-hour divisor for a specific set of senior federal positions only, not the general workforce, which is why this calculator uses the standard 2,080-hour figure.

Does this calculator account for unpaid time off?

Yes — adjust the weeks worked per year field down from 52 to reflect any unpaid vacation or leave.

How is overtime handled in this conversion?

If you enter more than 40 hours per week, the calculator automatically pays hours beyond 40 at 1.5x your hourly rate, consistent with federal FLSA overtime rules for non-exempt employees.

Conversion Facts

Hourly-to-Salary Conversion Facts

Item	Figure
Standard full-time work year	2,080 hours (40 hrs/week × 52 weeks)
Federal overtime threshold (FLSA)	Over 40 hours in a single workweek
Standard overtime multiplier	1.5× regular hourly rate
Special OPM federal-executive divisor	2,087 hours — applies only to specific senior federal roles, not general use
Quick estimate shortcut	Hourly rate × 2,000 ≈ rough annual salary (accounts for ~2 unpaid weeks)

This calculator uses the precise 2,080-hour standard (or your custom hours/weeks) rather than the rough "×2,000" shortcut some people use mentally, for a more accurate result.

How the Conversion Works

Why 2,080 Hours Is the Standard

A 40-hour workweek repeated across all 52 weeks of the year equals 2,080 hours — this is the widely used baseline for converting between hourly and salaried pay in the United States, referenced by federal pay administration guidance and commonly used by employers, HR software, and government agencies alike. Multiplying your hourly rate by 2,080 gives a full-time annual salary equivalent assuming no unpaid time off.

If you take unpaid vacation, work part-time, or have a non-standard schedule, adjust the "weeks worked per year" or "hours per week" fields to match your actual situation — the calculator recalculates from those inputs rather than assuming the standard figure. If your weekly hours exceed 40, federal overtime rules under the Fair Labor Standards Act generally require 1.5× pay for the excess hours for non-exempt employees, which this calculator applies automatically.

Multiply your hourly rate by the number of hours you work per week, then by the number of weeks you work per year. For a standard full-time schedule (40 hours/week, 52 weeks/year), that's hourly rate × 2,080 hours.
It's simply 40 hours per week times 52 weeks per year. This standard is referenced in federal pay administration guidance from the U.S. Office of Personnel Management and is the most commonly used baseline for hourly-to-salary conversions in the U.S.
Yes, but it's narrow in scope. OPM uses a 2,087-hour divisor for a specific set of senior federal positions (agency heads, Senior Executive Service members, and similar roles) to account for the extra hours that accumulate from leap years and calendar rotation. It does not apply to the general workforce, which is why this calculator uses the standard 2,080-hour figure.
Yes — adjust the "weeks worked per year" field down from 52 to reflect any unpaid vacation or leave, and the annual salary estimate will scale accordingly.
If you enter more than 40 hours per week, the calculator automatically pays the hours beyond 40 at 1.5× your hourly rate, consistent with federal overtime rules under the Fair Labor Standards Act for non-exempt employees.
