Annual Salary = Hourly Wage × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year

Where Weeks per Year is typically 52.

Annual to Hourly Wage

Hourly Wage = Annual Salary ÷ (Hours per Week × Weeks per Year)

This formula assumes a standard 52-week work year. For part-time or seasonal work, you may need to adjust the hours per week accordingly.

Worked Examples

Example 1: Hourly to Annual

If you earn $20 per hour and work 40 hours per week:

Annual Salary = $20 × 40 × 52 = $41,600

Example 2: Annual to Hourly

If your annual salary is $50,000 and you work 35 hours per week:

Hourly Wage = $50,000 ÷ (35 × 52) ≈ $18.31
