Frequently Asked Questions

How do I calculate hourly rate from annual salary?

To calculate your hourly rate from annual salary, divide your yearly salary by the number of weeks you work per year, then divide that by the number of hours you work each week. Our calculator automates this formula: (Yearly Salary ÷ Weeks Per Year) ÷ Hours Per Week.

What's the difference between gross and net hourly rate?

Gross hourly rate is your earnings before any taxes or deductions, while net hourly rate (after-tax) shows your actual take-home pay per hour after accounting for income taxes and other withholdings.

Is 40 hours per week standard for these calculations?

While 40 hours is the traditional full-time work week in the US, you should adjust this based on your actual working hours. Our calculator lets you customize both weekly hours and annual weeks worked for accurate results.

Should I use 52 weeks even if I get vacation time?

If you're paid for vacation time, use 52 weeks. If unpaid, subtract those weeks. For example, if you have 2 weeks unpaid vacation, enter 50 weeks for more accurate calculations.

How accurate are the tax calculations?

The tax calculation provides an estimate based on the percentage you enter. For precise after-tax amounts, consult a tax professional as actual tax rates vary by location, deductions, and individual circumstances.

Can I use this for contract or freelance work?

Absolutely! Freelancers and contractors can use this to determine appropriate hourly rates by entering their desired annual income and actual working hours/weeks.
