Hourly to Salary Converter
Turn an hourly rate into what it pays per year, month, two weeks and week — or divide a salary back into an hourly rate. Set your actual hours per week and weeks per year; the default (40 × 52 = 2,080 hours) is the convention used in most job postings.

Limitations
- Gross pay only. Take-home pay after CPP, EI and income tax is lower — the income tax estimator is under review for 2026, so treat any net figure as rough.
- Does not add overtime, shift premiums, vacation pay or bonuses; those are real money for hourly workers and are covered by the other Work & Pay tools.
- Monthly pay is annual ÷ 12, which is how salaried pay is usually quoted; a biweekly cheque × 26 equals the annual figure, but no month contains exactly 4.33 weeks.
Results are estimates for general information and are not legal, tax, payroll or financial advice. Employment contracts, collective agreements and individual circumstances can change what you are owed.
Formulas
annual = hourly × hours per week × weeks per year hourly = annual ÷ (hours per week × weeks per year) weekly = hourly × hours per week biweekly = weekly × 2 monthly = annual ÷ 12 daily = hourly × 8

Comparing an hourly job with a salaried one
Compare on the same basis. A $60,000 salary for a 37.5-hour week is $30.77/hour; a $30/hour job with regular overtime at 1.5× may pay more over a year, and an hourly job usually earns vacation pay on top (4% in Ontario). Use the overtime calculator and vacation pay calculator to put numbers on both.
Frequently asked questions
How do I convert an hourly wage to a yearly salary?
Multiply the hourly rate by the hours you work per week, then by the weeks you work per year. $25 × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000. If you take two unpaid weeks off, use 50 weeks: $50,000.
How do I convert a salary to an hourly rate?
Divide the annual salary by annual hours. $60,000 ÷ (37.5 × 52 = 1,950 hours) = $30.77 per hour.
Why do some sites use 2,080 hours and others 2,087?
2,080 is 40 hours × 52 weeks. 2,087 is the average over many years including the extra day or two each calendar year contains; some government payroll systems use it. The difference is about 0.3%.
Does a salaried employee in Ontario get overtime?
Often yes. Unless the job is exempt, hours over 44 in a work week are paid at 1.5× a regular rate derived from the salary (weekly salary ÷ 44, or ÷ the set hours the salary covers). See the overtime calculator.
What is $17.95 an hour as a salary?
Ontario’s general minimum wage from October 1, 2026, at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, is $37,336 a year before deductions; at 37.5 hours it is $35,003.
