Formula & Theory - Hourly to Salary Calculator
The Hourly to Salary Calculator is based on these formulas:
Weekly Pay = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week + Hourly Rate × Overtime Multiplier × Overtime Hours
Annual Salary = Weekly Pay × (Weeks per Year - Unpaid Weeks)
Monthly Salary = Annual Salary ÷ 12
Biweekly Pay = Weekly Pay × 2
Daily Pay = Weekly Pay ÷ Days per Week| Symbol | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Hourly Rate | Your gross hourly wage |
| Hours per Week | Standard weekly hours |
| Overtime Multiplier | Pay multiplier for overtime hours (e.g. 1.5) |
| Unpaid Weeks | Weeks per year with no pay |
