Annual Income Calculator
This calculator estimates total gross annual income from an hourly wage, hours per week, and the number of weeks worked per year. It is the inverse of the salary-to-hourly conversion and is useful for self-employed workers, part-time employees, or anyone whose work schedule varies.
How It Works
Multiply your hourly rate by your weekly hours, then by the number of weeks you actually work in a year. The standard for a full-time employee is 52 weeks, giving 2,080 annual hours. Seasonal or part-time workers should adjust weeks accordingly. The result is gross income before taxes.
Worked Examples
Example 1 (full-time). $25/hr × 40 hrs × 52 weeks = $52,000 per year.
Example 2 (seasonal). $30/hr × 40 hrs × 30 weeks = $36,000 per year.
When to Use This Calculator
Use when estimating annual earnings from a variable schedule, quoting a freelance annual equivalent, or comparing an hourly offer to a salaried position.
