Calculator guide
Convert an hourly wage into gross weekly, monthly, and annual pay using hours and weeks worked.
Formula or method
Annual gross = hourly wage × hours per week × weeks per year; monthly gross = annual/12; weekly gross = hourly × hours.
How to use this calculator
- Enter the hourly wage.
- Enter typical paid hours per week and weeks per year.
- Review gross figures before taxes, benefits, unpaid leave, or overtime.
Worked example
At $25 per hour, 40 hours per week, and 52 weeks, annual gross pay is $52,000 and monthly average gross pay is $4,333.33.
Understanding the result
The annual figure is an arithmetic equivalent, not a promise of salaried employment or guaranteed hours.
Limitations and assumptions
- Does not subtract taxes, benefits, unpaid leave, or downtime.
- Overtime, bonuses, tips, and variable schedules are not included unless represented in the hourly input.
