From hourly to annual

THE BASIC MATH

Annual gross pay equals hourly wage × paid hours per week × paid weeks per year. At $25 per hour, 40 paid hours and 52 paid weeks, that is $52,000 before taxes or benefits.

Hourly pay changes when shifts, unpaid breaks, unpaid leave or overtime change paid hours. The calculator treats hours as regular paid hours and annualizes the result. For overtime, see our overtime guide.

Estimated take-home pay depends on filing status and state. Our methodology explains each deduction and the limits of annualized estimates.
