Understanding Salary Conversion
The standard formula is: Annual Salary ÷ 2,080 = Hourly Rate (based on 40 hours/week × 52 weeks). This gives you a baseline, but real-world pay can vary with overtime, bonuses, and benefits.
When comparing job offers, always look at total compensation: base salary, bonuses, equity, health insurance, retirement matching, and PTO. A $90k salary with full benefits may be worth more than $110k with none.
Frequently Asked Questions
Set your hours per week above 40 and select an overtime multiplier (1.5x or 2x). The calculator will show your blended hourly rate including overtime pay.
If you get paid PTO, the 2,080-hour baseline still applies because you're paid for 52 weeks regardless. If you're unpaid PTO, reduce the weeks accordingly (e.g., 48 weeks = 1,920 hours).
It's a rough approximation. Actual take-home depends on federal tax brackets, state/local taxes, FICA, pre-tax deductions (401k, health insurance), and filing status. Use a full tax calculator for precision.
