How to Convert Hourly to Salary
The Formula
Example: $25/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks = $52,000/year
With Overtime: (Regular hours × Rate) + (OT hours × Rate × 1.5)
Understanding how hourly wages translate to annual salary is essential for comparing job offers, negotiating pay, and financial planning. The standard calculation assumes 40 hours per week for 52 weeks (2,080 hours per year), but your actual situation may vary based on paid time off, overtime, and work schedule.
Meet Jason: Comparing Job Offers
Jason received two job offers and needs to compare the total compensation:
- $28/hour base rate
- 10 hours overtime/week (1.5x)
- 40 regular + 10 OT = 50 hrs/week
- $75,000 annual salary
- No overtime pay (exempt)
- Expected 45-50 hrs/week
Analysis: While Job B's salary sounds higher, Job A actually pays more when overtime is included. Jason should also consider benefits, job security, growth potential, and work-life balance when making his decision.
Exempt vs Non-Exempt Employees
Non-Exempt (Hourly)
- • Must receive overtime pay for hours over 40/week
- • Overtime rate: minimum 1.5x regular rate
- • Must be paid at least minimum wage
- • Entitled to meal and rest breaks (varies by state)
- • Pay based on actual hours worked
Exempt (Salaried)
- • No overtime pay required (regardless of hours)
- • Must earn at least $58,656/year (2025)
- • Must meet "duties test" for exemption
- • Same pay regardless of hours worked
- • Categories: Executive, Professional, Administrative
Important Considerations
Paid Time Off Affects True Hourly Rate
A $50,000 salary with 2 weeks PTO means you work 50 weeks but get paid for 52. Your effective hourly rate is higher: $50,000 ÷ (40 × 50) = $25/hour, not $24.04.
Benefits Have Value
Health insurance, 401(k) matching, and other benefits can add 20-40% to total compensation. A $50,000 salary with good benefits may be worth more than $55,000 without.
State Overtime Laws May Differ
California requires daily overtime (over 8 hours) and double-time (over 12 hours). Some states have higher minimum wages. Always check your state's specific laws.
