      Formula

      Hourly rate = annual salary ÷ (hours per week × paid weeks per year)

      How to use it

      1. Enter the annual salary before tax.
      2. Enter the hours you really work in a week.
      3. Adjust paid weeks if part of the year is unpaid.

      Comparing a salary with an hourly offer

      An hourly job with overtime can out-earn a higher-looking salary. $62,000 a year at 50 hours a week is $23.85 an hour; a $25 hourly job at the same 50 hours, with overtime after 40, pays $71,500.

      Also weigh benefits. Employer health insurance, retirement matching and paid leave commonly add 20–30% on top of a salary and are often thinner in hourly or contract roles.
