How to Use This Calculator
This hourly to salary calculator converts your hourly wage to an annual salary in the USA. Simply enter your hourly rate and select the pay frequency, then click "Calculate".
The calculator shows your gross annual salary, estimated net salary after taxes, and a breakdown of paychecks. You can also view a chart showing your earnings over time.
Note: The net salary estimate assumes a single filer with no dependents. For more accurate results, consult a tax professional.
Formula Used
The calculator uses these formulas to determine your annual salary:
Gross Annual Salary: Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year
Estimated Net Salary: Gross Annual Salary × (1 - Federal Tax Rate - State Tax Rate - FICA Tax Rate)
The default tax rates are based on the 2023 federal tax brackets for a single filer with no dependents. The calculator uses these assumptions:
- 40 hours per week
- 52 weeks per year
- Federal tax rate: 22%
- State tax rate: 4.5%
- FICA tax rate: 7.65%
Worked Examples
Example 1: $15/hour weekly pay
If you earn $15 per hour and get paid weekly:
- Gross Annual Salary: $15 × 40 × 52 = $20,800
- Estimated Net Salary: $20,800 × (1 - 0.22 - 0.045 - 0.0765) = $15,200
Example 2: $25/hour biweekly pay
If you earn $25 per hour and get paid every two weeks:
- Gross Annual Salary: $25 × 40 × 26 = $20,800
- Estimated Net Salary: $20,800 × (1 - 0.22 - 0.045 - 0.0765) = $15,200
