Salary to Hourly Rate Calculator

It depends on hours, not a magic number

There is no single divisor that turns a salary into an hourly rate — it depends on how many hours you work each week and how many weeks you work each year. The common shortcut of dividing by 2,080 assumes 40 hours across 52 weeks with no time off, which rarely matches reality.

Set your real weekly hours and working weeks, and the conversion becomes accurate in both directions.

For freelancers, this is a floor

A salary-equivalent hourly rate ignores the costs and unpaid time that freelancing adds. Use it as a sanity check against an employed role, then price above it once self-employment costs are factored in.
