Salary to Hourly Rate Conversions
Converting annual salary to an hourly rate helps compare job offers, evaluate freelance rates, or understand your true earnings. The standard US formula assumes 2,080 working hours per year (52 weeks × 40 hours/week).
| Annual Salary | Hourly Rate (2,080 hrs) | Monthly Gross |
|---|---|---|
| ,000 | .83/hr | ,917 |
| ,000 | .04/hr | ,167 |
| ,000 | .25/hr | ,417 |
| ,000 | .46/hr | ,667 |
| ,000 | .08/hr | ,333 |
| ,000 | .12/hr | ,500 |
This calculation excludes paid time off (PTO). If you have 3 weeks PTO (120 hours), you actually work 1,960 hours; adjust the denominator for a true hourly rate. For freelancers setting rates, add 30–40% above an equivalent employee rate to cover self-employment taxes, health insurance, no benefits, and unpaid administrative time.
How do I convert my salary to an hourly rate?
Divide annual salary by 2,080 (standard 40-hr week, 52 weeks). Quick shortcut: salary ÷ 2,000 gives an approximate hourly rate (off by ~3.8%).
What is a good hourly rate for freelancers?
Multiply the equivalent employee hourly rate by 1.5–2× to account for self-employment tax (15.3%), no paid benefits, and non-billable administrative time. A K employee earns ~/hr; equivalent freelance rate is –/hr.
