Salary to Hourly Calculator
Convert between annual salary and hourly wage. See every pay period — hourly, daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, and annual.
Salary to Hourly Formula
Hourly Rate = Annual Salary ÷ (Hours per Week × Weeks per Year)
Annual Salary = Hourly Rate × Hours per Week × Weeks per Year
The standard assumption is 40 hours/week × 52 weeks = 2,080 hours/year. If you take unpaid time off, use a lower weeks figure to get a more accurate hourly rate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many work hours are in a year?
The standard is 2,080 hours (40 hours/week × 52 weeks). If you account for 10 vacation days and 10 stat holidays, it drops to about 1,880 paid hours. For a more accurate picture of your effective hourly rate, use the weeks worked input above.
Is a $25/hour job a good salary in Canada?
At $25/hour working 40 hours/week, you earn $52,000/year — around the median individual income in Canada. In lower cost-of-living cities this is comfortable; in Toronto or Vancouver, it covers basics but leaves little room for saving. Use our Cost of Living Calculator to compare cities.
How do I convert a daily rate to annual salary?
Daily rate × working days per year. Assuming 260 working days (52 weeks × 5 days): a $300/day contract = $78,000/year equivalent. However, contractors typically don't receive benefits, paid vacation, or employer CPP/EI contributions — so the true comparison to an employee salary is lower.
