Salary to Hourly Calculator
Convert your annual salary to an hourly rate — or compare two job offers.
How to Use This Calculator
Convert tab
Enter your annual salary and hours per week. The calculator instantly shows your hourly rate, plus monthly, biweekly, and daily breakdowns. If you have paid vacation, expand "More options" and enter your vacation days — this reduces the working weeks and shows your true effective hourly rate (which is higher than the nominal one).
Compare Offers tab
Got two job offers? Enter Offer A and Offer B — each with salary and expected hours per week. The calculator shows which offer pays more per hour. A $85K job at 45 hours/week might pay less per hour than a $75K job at 40 hours — this tab reveals that.

The Formula
The hourly rate is calculated as:
If you have paid vacation:
Paid vacation doesn't change your salary, but it changes your effective hourly rate. If you earn $75,000 with 4 weeks of paid vacation, your nominal rate is $36.06/hr (52 weeks), but your effective rate is $39.06/hr (48 working weeks) — because you're being paid the same amount for fewer hours of work.
The Compare Offers tab uses the same formula for each offer, so you compare the true hourly value of different salary + hours combinations.
Example
Maria — comparing two job offers
Maria has two offers. Offer A: $75,000/year, standard 40-hour week. Offer B: $85,000/year, but the team typically works 45 hours.

Compare Offers tab
The $10K higher salary almost disappears when you divide by the extra hours. Maria chose Offer A — same hourly rate with 5 hours more of free time each week. Over a year, that's 260 extra hours of life.
She sent the link to her partner. The numbers made the decision obvious.
