Salary and hourly are two different methods of getting paid from your employer. Hourly means that you earn a certain amount of money each hour that you work. Salary is a set number that you will receive no matter how many hours you work, how many days, or despite any other factor, unless otherwise specified.

How to Calculate Hourly Pay From Salary

Understanding Your Results

Your results will consist of three different values. First, you will see the equivalent hourly pay you would be getting if you switched to it. Below that you will see what your weekly pay would be. Finally, you will see your monthly pay. All of this is based on your annual salary largely and it will not account for any possible variations in your pay such as overtime, night differential, bonuses, or anything like that. This tool also does not account for taxes or anything similar to that.

Calculation Example

We have two different situations where we need to calculate the hourly-equivalent pay. We can use this tool for each of them. First, we are currently getting paid $75,000 salary and want to see what that is equal to hourly. To do so, we enter 75,000 into the annual salary field and leave the other two as they are. We can hit calculate and get an hourly pay of $36.06.

Next, we got a new job offer. We currently get paid hourly but the job is a salary job, so we can use this tool to compare the pay. The proposed salary was $82,000 and we currently get paid $29.90 an hour. To use this tool we have to enter 82,000 into the annual salary field and then hit calculate. When we do we learn that the hourly pay equivalent is $39.42, meaning it would be a nice pay raise.
